Sequential Turn Signal Rate
I have a C5 that I have installed the plug and play sequential turn signal harness an exterior leds all around with the hyperflash harness. The hyper flash harness has corrected the flash rate but the sequential turn signal rate is so fast that it is almost indistinguishable. Is there a way to slow down the turn signal rate?

The standard bulbs are too slow turning "on" for sequential lights (from my experience). The LEDs are much faster and effective.
As for reducing the flash rate, recommend talking to the sequential circuit manufacturer or maybe the retailer.
I designed my own sequential circuit (have them on my 2 Vettes, and some friends Vettes, but not interested in making them for a "living"), and included a trim pot (potentiometer) to adjust the flash rate to my liking.
Good luck,

I used components that I either had in stock, or could get through Digi-Key. Best LED bulbs (brightest) were from Radio Flyer, although even with his Anti Hyperflash circuit, I still had to add some 10 ohm load resistors to prevent hyperflash when the Hazard switch was pushed.
I also have CAD drawings for the PCB layout and the heat sinks I added "just as a precaution". The box was a small "hobby box" from Radio Shack, and I mounted it in the trunk.
You have a PM.

I tried with the incandesent bulbs, and was not happy. Besides, the Radio Flyer LEDs are that much brighter. And yes, I tried some Ebay "superbright" LEDs, and wasted my time and money.......I am a slow learner.
