Sequential Turn Signals

[Marine One]

I'm seriously looking at adding these to my car. Does anyone know if any of the readily available kits can be installed to not activate the sequential feature when the brake pedal is depressed? I know that they can be modified but I am looking for something that is plug n play. I'm not interested in running a lot of extra wires or splicing, taping etc., etc., etc.
Thoughts?

I've wondered the same thing... I'd love to have them, but only if the sequential feature works just for the turn signals. If hitting the brakes also made the lights sequence out, there is no way I'd do it.

There are plenty of kits out there, but none of them specify this. Perhaps both Marine One and I are just too concerned with basic safety, but you'd think they'd list it.

I just ordered a kit from 50resto.com ... I'll let you know how the install goes if and when they ever get here.

Why? If anything I found it helpful, people notice the lights easier and they turn on just as fast as they would normally.

I've seen them IRL on a car and it made me want them. It looks awesome when they hit the blinker and it definitely gets your attention when they are braking. They come on just as fast and once they go all the way across they stay with all 3 lit up; they don't keep flashing or whatever.

I saw a vid on the net and I think it's a great way to get sued. There is a delay in your brakes going full on when you hit the brake.

+1 contact web electrics I was very interested in them IF they did not sequence when I hit the brakes. Web Electrics has a kit that only sequences when you have the turn signal on. You have to contact them for it, I still have not got around to buying it.

don't mean to offend anyone but to me the whole brake lightup thing just borders on looking ghetto.

Carol agrees I'm ghetto! Quote from the above link:
If looks could kill:

The 40th Anniversary Limited Edition package includes a host of components to let others know that something special is prowling the streets. On the menacing outside components include carbon fiber lower front fascia splitter and mirror covers; aluminum hood grille inserts; deck lid SHELBY letter kit; sequential tail lamps; front and rear brake duct kits; Anniversary stripe package (convertible models); special optional 20" American Racing Shelby Razor wheels and various 40th Anniversary badging including side, grille and trunk badges.

Yep, I get nothing but compliments on mine. And there is no delay for the brakes coming on. The inside light turns on at the exact same time as the third brake light and the outer ones come right on after. So the 3 lights that need to be on for braking are turned on at the same time with no delay.

If I don't own a pair I wouldn't make generalizations about them.

 

[lil07GT]

Yes, but forming opinions is okay, right? LOL

 

[cowtown]

Form whatever opinions you want but there are some generalizations in this thread about how they perform and they're incorrect is all I'm saying.

I've yet to see a vid of the ones in action whereas there is no delay. Those with the delay, good luck, not worth the risk. Messing with the brake lights is a no no.

You're so damn negative. The ones that I saw were on a car that was right in front of a cop. Cop didn't do anything to the girl who had them.

When someone rear ends you, the 1st thing their lawyer is going to say is that the brake lights didn't work right. Last time I checked you cant mess with factory brake lights, it's a no no. good luck in court, I ain't taking chances, and god forbid someone gets hurt.

Um, doesn't matter if your brake lights work or not. If you rear end someone, it's your fault. EOD

Do you really think they would put these on stock mustangs if they were a liability? lol

What they did in the 60's isn't exactly up to today's standards.

Who's talking about the 60's? The new Shelby GT500 Anniversary editions come with the sequential rear taillight signals... See the following article... So to do this, they must have DOT approvals.
