Arrow Possible New AutoTrix Kit?

We are debating on releasing a kit to make your side markers blink with your turn signals for looks and safety. Click the links below to display a video of what it would look like.

i think it would be better if you left out the rear sidemarker from blinking

The way it would work you could just get the front kit or just get the back kit so If you don't like the back ones blinking you don't have to get that part.

i like that, id seriously consider geting one for my car, people around here sit where they can't see your turn signals so if the side markers signaled too they might actually notice...... ahhhh what am i saying that idea is futile here, no one pays attention to other drivers here. but i would still buy the kit, a little extra safety never hurts. can you pm me if/when you release the kit??

Looks alot better than I thought, I don't think it needs to be synchronized, many cars that come like this from the factory have them alternating like that. I think if the vid didn't have the rear blinker people wouldn't say a thing. To be honest I myself probably wouldn't buy it, I don't see the point to have it personally. However I think there is a good market for it.

EDIT: Now that window kit of yours looks great... how does that work?! My passenger side window is just as slow as the one in the vid!

The vid does leave out that they do not work like that when the parking lights / headlights are off. When they are off they blink synchronized. This is due to the way the wiring of the car is, it would be more of a re-wire then an add-on kit to make it the same both ways.

You can look at this link for more info on the window kit:

Thanks for your input!

I probably won't buy it, but it looks very weird alternating to me. Good idea though if it's affordable.

I like the idea, at least for the front. It'd be nice for the bird's especially since it is kind of hard to see the front blinkers from the side. Camaros are a little bit better, but it'd still be worthwhile to have, depending on price of course. Maybe I'll hold off buying the window kit until this kit is available. I'd also like a PM when it is available so I can purchase both kits at the same time

Depends on how easy it would be to install and the price.

Install will be a little more difficult than the window kit install because of the wiring difference.

The price is still up in the air on it. We have a rough idea but that is why we are getting everyones opinion. If the response stays like this I see no reason why we won't further develop this kit at this point.

Keep checking this thread and we will update it with a price if we go this route.

a front kit would be kinda pointless on a Camaro because the marker lights and turn signal lights are in the same housing.

would be especially good for us bird owners, the front blinker is hard to see from the side. depending on the price, i would get one.
