i installed this kit on an 01 Trans am.

Followed the directions to a T.

Now the front directionals do not work. With the four way or the blinkers. Nothing.

They light up with the lights on but do not blink.

anybody else experience this.

Something isn't installed correctly and you aren't pulling enough power for your flashers. If you go to electronic ones, you may be able to debug easier.

the blinkers and flashers work fine in the back after the install. But the fronts do not work on either blinker or flasher

What kind of flashers do you have installed and did you do anything to the fronts. (Change bulbs, mess around under the dash, etc.?)

I'm getting ready to install some LT1 tails. Willl the kit from WebElectric work for a 2002 camaro too? I really don't want to MOD the outside light to a different one.


Directly from the the website quoted below.....
The STS-3TA Sequencer Kit will convert the tail lights on your 1993-2002 Firebird or TransAm to sequential operation. This kit is specifically designed to convert the outer tail light bulb to brake/turn/tail light operation without modifying your tail light housing or replacing sockets.

I just seen this....
Note: Sequential Turn Signals only work on cars with combination brake/turn signal lamps. They will not work on cars with separate turn signals or cars with amber lenses. This kit will not work with LED lamps, only standard incandescent lamps.

Am I screwed?

Your DRL module is probably hosed then. You should probably also make sure the sockets are good before going there. Its possible, both sockets could have gone out on you at the same time.

The kit comes with a different bulb to use in the outer socket. Everything you need is in the kit. Its not really a "mod."

As long as you use incandescents and not LEDs, you are fine.

Is there any kits that I can purchase and use led lights? I have a thundercat kit in the car now. "trans am" I may have to remove it because the outer driver's bulb is not lighting and it seems that it is not getting any power.
So I'm trying to weigh my options.

I have the boards built and ready to install and troubleshoot but I'm in the middle of the engine rebuild so it will be a while before I finish this up.
