HOW TO: Sequential Tail Lights
Alright, for those of you with a trans am and ordered this kit - STS-3TA. Does it just modify the two existing bulbs or is it for 3 bulbs? The sequential videos of 3 bulbs is clean and what i want but this kit on the website says "without modifying your housing" and doesnt mention "bulbs" in the kit. You must modify the housing to make the 3rd bulb fit, this is why i am asking.

Look at post #96 in this thread for guidance and a video on how to change the blink rate.
Ah, my fans. Sometimes I forget about the simple folk.
In that case, I gotta do it! ...for my fans.
I should probably put in an order for a pack of sharpies and a notepad too.

Where to buy sequence flasher? Hey all, I've read through most of the pages and i only see 2 vendors (one is no longer in business and the other is webelectric but they dont ship to Canada…).
Where else can i find these?
I already have a kit installed and the timing adjuster snapped off the board so it no longer works properly.

I have soldered before but this application is definitely beyond my capability. Maybe i will investigate, but what kind of business would work on silicon boards?
Still lookin for suppliers though...

NAFTA was supposed to make this easy...
If you are OK with a little extra expense, you might try out Shipito. They offer a service to ship the package to a US address and then forward it to you internationally. I did a quick look and it seems that they will do it for the extra US-to-Canada postage plus a $8.50US fee.
I think Web is a one-man operation and would just bet that they've either had too many problems in the past or the extra time to process an international package is an issue for them.

So I called a bunch of electronic repair shops in town and one guy in-particular that repairs T.Vs seemed to be the only guy that sounded like he knew how to solder circuit boards (and put his name on his work) so i brought it to him, 'lo & behold' he fixed it properly for $35 and it works!
'Happy as a pig in ****' now.
Thanks for everyones help!!!
(now I want a slower flasher).
Not sure if you got your answer yet, but NO it will not be affected. I run switchbacks in the front, sequential incandencent in the rear and a electronic flasher and no issues at all.
I agree, buying one is best, Ill see if I can find that "FF552NL".
Wish i knew how to tell which flashers are faster and slower though without having to try them first.
I fried them while experimenting, but regardless - these take some experience/soldering skill so one doesn't heat up the components too much.
That's where the adjustable comes in to play. My experience is any thermal flasher is going to vary greatly in its speed and that electronic flashers will tend to be slower.
