Default What is a sequential tail light kit?

Saw one for sale. I'll buy it if it's what I think, but I'm not sure.

It is a tail light kit that controls a series of LED's (they fire in a sequential sequence, hence the name.) to make a cool looking blinker appearance or brake light appearance.

They are not legal everywhere. I hate seen the on Rice car and pro-tourin builds. Sometime I like them, and sometime I hate them. Depends on the car.

Yeah, I think that's what I saw the other day on I-10. It was an absolutely gorgeous black Saleen. The exhaust sounded like it was gonna bring the house down.

I will probably be getting a set for my car in the next few weeks. I think they are a nice touch.

I have had them on my car for a few years now, get quite a few comments on them

Not necessarily LED's, had to replace the outside bulbs on both sides with double filament bulbs(like the inner two bulbs), rest is easy. Can find them on ebay or do a search for sequentials here, few old posts about them.

Those looks pretty cool. I'm definitely performance over looks, but I may get them too one day.

I went ahead and clicked buy it now. If its not all that great then I lost 90.00 bucks o well. But I think it will look good. I read alot of that ebayers feedbacks and they were all good ones.
