ok, now that the sun is going down, i was able to take a quick 15 second video.
I would also like to add, that I worked with a guy named Tony from SweepLite, and he was very helpful talking me through the install, as well as figuring out that i had installed one of the bulbs facing in the wrong direction, lol (I am not perfect I guess)
I took the Video with my Android phone, and it was recorded in HD, although it just doesnt capture the effect that the lites give. I will try again with my Hero3 and see if it looks better in video with that (been wanting to try the new Hero3 anyways)

I will try and post the video here, although I am not exactly sure how to do it.

Nice job, I like it.

They look way better in person

I have the sweeplites on my sunset orange 2005 C6. I really like the effect. It looks just like the video. There are 2 problems with them. Like all LED lights, you will need resistors, otherwise you will get a rapid flash (the system thinks you have a burned out bulb). The lights came with 2 resistors (rather large size) but I bought 4 separate smaller 60 ohm resistors from Ebay. One resistor is wired in parallel with each tail light (the two outside wires). The instructions on the resistors are to mount to some metal as a heatsink. There really isn't any metal in the tail area so I just let mine hang free. This seems to work well as there seems to be enough space to keep them cool enough.

The other problem with the sweeplites is that they are not as bright as normal brake or turn signal lights. They are great at night or a cloudy day, but not as noticeable in full sun. I added a very bright full LED third high brakelight (color matched) from Corvette Mods and a brake pulsar. This combination is very noticeable even on bright days.

Other than adding the resistors, the bulb replacement is just plug and play. You get 4 bulbs (2 for each side) and you just pop out the old bulbs and put in the new bulbs in the correct order. They are clearly marked for nearer and farther from fender.

One more note. Some people have just wired the old bulbs in parallel with the new bulbs in place of a resistor. The old bulbs would just hang loose in the open rear area. I was worried about breakage, so I just went with the resistor.

I have gotten a lot of positive comments, except for the lack of brightness on a sunny day.

Hope this helps.

Jeffro,
Looks good.

I have the sequential turn signal mod with a set of LED lights from Corvette Mods. While maybe not as cool as the old Cougars, I like them.

so these only flash with the turn signals? i actually want them to flash when i hit the brakes to make sure no one runs into the back of me.
i could always rewire ti to work with brake lights instead.

I believe so, just turn signals and hazards. I saw a nice reflection in a truck grill and they didn't flash with the brake applied.

Yes, I have the Eagle Eye LED lamps.

The brake light was the thing that concerned me! Any chance of a video shot with the brakes applied ? I like the turn signals and the flashers working in sequence - but not the brakes. So I just want confirmation from someone that has them installed. Thanks

The brake lights do not flash when applied.
