HOW TO: Sequential Tail Lights
That WebElectric kit can be wired so the brake lights stay stock and only the turn signals are sequential. (Directions are included.) The only big difference is that you have to run a wire from the dash back to the sequential circuitry. (If you do both the turns and brakes, all the wiring is done in in the harness at the rear of the car.)

So can someone aware on the trailer box method? Diagram or pics would be helpful.
this for LT1 cars too?
I just spoke to Lawrence at webelectric (very helpful guy in term of knowing his wiring)... Here's the scoop for us LS1 Camaros:
We'd need LOTS of work to make this work for our cars. There are 2 ways to go.
1. If you get the STS 2 kit, you'll only get the outer 2 lights will work, (and you lose your turn signal from the original spot, it just wont light up) Also, your brake light will only be the middle section of the tail light.
2. If you get the STS 1 kit, you'll need to run a trailer harness box. Essentially you cut your harness and run it to the new trailer box. (trailer boxes are the same ones you would need to tow a trailer with your car. They only have one light and it's both the brake and turn) You'll basically be sending the light signals to that "box" then that box will connect to the STS 1 kit and THAT will now make all the bulbs in the sequence light up OR signal. (The STS 1 kit sends out 1 signal so the trailer box is needed to send it out to the multiple bulbs)
He also said doing the trailer box it's way more of a pain, and they dont want to hassle with making it because the demand isn't there for that kit.
I may try to do the sequential one for me, but it isn't a mod I can actually see so I'm on the fence about it for now.

youre asking if having switchbacks up front will effect the sequential action? i think it depends on what flasher you are using. as long as your flasher is seeing enough to start flashing, it should work.

where to get? I really find this extremely helpfull for installing the kit. I just have one problem however, I can't find the proper kit, i believe? If you could copy a link to the correct kit, or tell me what exactly to search for, I'd really appreciate that, thanks.
Thats the site. i dont know what car you have, so i cant tell you what kit is for you.
