93-02 Sequential tail lights?
I'm looking for a sequential tail light kit for my 93 z28. Anyone know where I can buy one?
I found this, but not sure if it will work

I have the webelectrics kit, changed the flasher to the el12 and they worked fine
Here is a quick vid, there are LEDs in the vid and they flash a bit faster but I changed back to regular bulbs and they look better. Also for the end bulb sockt since regular 3157 bulbs are too close to the lens and can melt over time, I went with a 7440 bulb, its shorter but still a dual filament bulb.

I also heard if you keep regular bulbs they get too hot and melt the tails... is that true? I would like to just avoid any extra bs and use the bulbs that are in the car now if it won't cause problems.
If I do get LED bulbs are they just plug and play?

Here's a good thread on flashers. Post #96 has my experience with the Web Electric Kit. (BTW - You WILL need to go to an electronic flasher, but the mod I did is not necessary unless you want to change the flash speed.) https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...-lights-3.html

Oh I see. Nice I just ordered the WebElectric kit, I wasn't sure if they're universal kit would work but I guess it does!
So just to be clear, you're saying with the Webelectric kit I will need to change my flasher? Is there anything special I will need to do or just plug and play?

BTW - You can't use the Firebird kit with a Camaro because the rear bulbs are wired differently.
You don't have to get an electric flasher, but its just another $20 at your local parts store. (You'll need one for your turn signals and one for your flashers.) With the stock flashers, each side didn't flash at the same speed for me. One side was faster than the other due to the interaction between the old school technology flasher and new school sequential electronics. Switching to the electronic flasher took care of that issue. (Then, I went a step further by modifying the electronic flasher so I could adjust the flash speed.)

Wait a sec.. so should I get the universal 3 bulb setup or the 93-02 Firebird kit? The guy I'm talking to (Bfranker - he makes all the Fbody vinyls and he has a youtube video of his camaro with the sequential tails) says I should get the firebird kit.

My recollection is that the outside bulb is different between the two cars. On the Firebird, its only used for the marker light so the kit needs to tap in to that and use a different bulb to make it dual use. (Don't remember what the Camaro does stock.)

That's what I did at first, and he wasn't sure which one I should use for the Camaro. So I talked to Brent, who has his car done with the sequentials, and he also got in contact with Lawrence from Web and we figured it out.
I'm going to use the STS-3TA kit for the Firebirds, 2 dual filament sockets, and bulbs 2057 or 1157.

I checked the schematic and the outside bulb is the same on the Camaros and Firebirds, so the same Web Electric kit should work. It looks like only one of the dual filament bulbs on the Camaro blinks with the stock flasher. If that's the case and the second socket has two wires hooked up, then the install should be a breeze.
