HOW TO: Sequential Tail Lights
I wanted to do a full LED conversion in the back and saw this thread now I want the sequential set up but I want to use LEDS is there any update if these will work. Since this thread was originally almost 3 years old LED technology has come a long way. If you check out DDMtuning.com they have LEDs that will "dim" meaning they act like dual filament bulbs if that might have been the problem in 2010 when this kit came out.
I got the kit wired up...but:
When the headlights are turned on, the right turn signal will not flash at all, it just stays lit, also when the hazards are on, the right just stays lit.
With headlights off, the turn signals and hazards sequence and look great!
Before wiring up the kit, everything worked fine, zero issues.
Thoughts? Can anyone help? I checked the connections and grounds.

I got an email back from webtronics. Apparently you could use leds but you need to modify the outter 194/168 bulb to a dual purpose led a.k.a. You would need to custom fit another 1156.bulb in the housing
I have regular bulbs, and switched them from right to left with no joy, so I replaced them with new 3157 bulbs as the kit recommends. The issue is still there.
I quick spliced both sides into the same ground wire, would that have an effect?

The only place the tail lights and turn signals intersect (unless you have a short) is at the socket. I'd check that next.
How did you do your connections? If you used a tap or something like that, one may be loose.

I also spoke with Lawrence from webelectronics and i'm going to try and use the sts1 Kit which is the universal Kit and see what happens with leds.

Verdad Gallardo I used the wire nuts and quick splice connectors that were in the kit. I will recheck all of those too.
What is baffling me is the fact that everything works great with the headlights off!
Could my turn signal flasher also be the culprit?
Yes i talked to Larry from webelectronics and the problem lies within the outer bulb not being compatible with the controller... Apparently the outer bulb would flicker or flash with an LED being in there because the outer bulb is used as a dual filament bulb with the new electronic controller. however I am going to wire it so that the outer bulb does not come on with parking lights. So after talking to him about it it should work.
So update to my issue:
I started checking connections and found that the quick splice on the brown tailight wire for the right tailight was grounded.
So I removed it, and everything worked except for the rightmost bulb on the right tailight.
After attempting to splice it back in, it still would not not work. Also, now none of brake lights work on the right tailight at all.
This really sucks. Now I am wondering if the sequential module is bad for the right side.

You might even disconnect the module to confirm that everything on the harness is still correct.
When I installed mine, I put them in between the connectors just inside the trunk space so I could pop them in and out of the car. All I have to do is remove the modules between the connectors and I'm back to stock. (This requires some addition of wires to the rear harness to pull off.)
