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.

 

No modifications to the housing necessary. The kit comes with new bulbs that fit in to the existing sockets. All you need to do is tap in to the wiring with the kit and just be aware that when those special bulbs burn out - you can't use the type in the auto parts store lookup books. (I recall the new bulbs are a 921, or something like that.)

 

Tempted to get this, but not sure I'll enjoy the "mustang-esque" look.

 

I would like this if they didn't blink so fast.

 

It's not about what you want, its all about your fans. Its not uncommon for me to encounter hundreds of adoring fans, who want my autograph, at the local quickie mart or gas station - all because they like my turn signals.

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.

Just saw that. Looks much better! I might have to order this.

 

at page 5 and #96, Nice inform...

 

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.

 

Do you know someone that can look at it and repair it? It might be and easy/cheap repair.

 

Good suggestion, I actually thought of that in bed last night (lol)…
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...

 

Have you tried emailing webelectric? Maybe they would ship for an additional shipping charge?

NAFTA was supposed to make this easy...

 

Yeah I e-mailed them. They just said they dont ship international (as if I am any farther away from them than other states) -sarcastic.

 

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.

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.

 

No ****, thanks man!!!

 

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).

 

Look at post #96. Very easy to do. (You don't have to make the part, you can buy one instead.)

 

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.

 

Yeah, I just read that he fried a few on the custom resistor solder job and i can see myself doing that too.
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.

 

...Um - yea. That was me. 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.
