Just get one of the kits from webelectricproducts.com. Their STS-3TA kit will work the factory wiring setup even if you replaced the stock incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs. The universal kit will work if you have redesigned the tail lights to use custom LED modules.

I have bought several of their products and all are well built and work for years without trouble. They do seem to have a fondness for wire nuts to simplify wiring connections (something I would never use in a car) but you can easily solder and heat shrink or even use butt crimp connectors.

^^^ has the bird kit changed? last time i email them they said you have to use at least 1 ( the end ones...........194s? ) regular bulb to make the kit work

The end "peanut" bulb (168/194) gets replaced with a 3157. I put all LED bulbs in mine with the sequential kit and it worked fine. You just have to add a load resistor on each side (same as doing LED bulbs without the sequential kit).

i dont have any resistors with my LEDs ........bad?

to put in a 3157 you changed out the socket?

The load resistors are used to simulate the resistance of an incandescent bulb so that the signals will still flash. Other options include buying LED bulbs with the resistor built in or replacing the flasher with an electronic one specifically designed for no-load LED use.

The plug-and-play sequential kits include the replacement socket for the outer bulb position or you can use the universal kit and just buy a 3157-style socket at your local auto parts store.

i believed i asked him ( webelectronics ) about making it work with a total LED replacement.....he did not mention resistors

i already have fully electronic flashers ( not those EL12s ) ( both of em ) in my setup......so for me the kit would be plug n play?

I'm not sure because I don't know what kind of switching circuitry they use in their module. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work - it's entirely electronic without any thermo-mechanical switching like the factory flasher so it should not be dependent on the resistance of the bulbs.

It's easy enough to try it. If it doesn't flash properly, adding a couple of 6-ohm resistors is really cheap and easy. I know it works with the resistors in the circuit.

Still working on this, wish I could make Tail Light housings with injection molding or have them made not too expensive. You can buy all the ricer lights on ebay for less than $100, but they look terrible, wish I could find who manufactures those and have original looking ones made with different backs.

Made a lot of changes to the programming and housings. Here are some pics

LED's are super bright, might have to turn them down a little

So are you selling these yet?

Excellent work, some years back a guy on this and other fbody forums designed and had some of these boards made up to sequence the tail lights, works good but always wanted to go to leds. You do these for other people or just yourself?

I have plenty of the controller boards, they are cheap to make, probably could sell one for like $50. The problem is in mounting the LED's in the housings. Still trying to find an easy way to do it.

I have made them for 1 other member on here who put the LED's in himself. I have also fit this controller into a 1967 thunderbird driving the original taillights. I used it to drive Modified daytime running lights on a hyundai elantra. We changed the LED's to RGB ones. Lights are white for DRL, Amber/sequential for turn signal and have many Color special effects, also adding front display (not finished) and remote for special effects as seen at end of night video.

These lights are exactly what I continue to search for. I really like the 93-96 tails over any aftermarket style and the LEDs make them look so much more modern. I wish I had the knowledge to produce or a place to purchase a set exactly like this for my Z.
