 That is a neat idea, often thought Buick should have done the sequential thing.

I've always thought that LED sequential lights would look cool with the '65 Skylark/GS taillights. I'm not clever enough to figure out how to do it though. Keep us posted on your progress.

Bobby,

Nice work. Looks like you could market that as a kit. Can you slow down the light progression just a bit or is it always at that speed ?

Yes led lights are perfect but make sure you install them perfectly

Hey there Bobby, that is very cool.   You will have to start selling these things. I'll be in line when you decide to do that.

I know the LED's use far less power draw than the incandescent bulbs.  As a result, the normal flasher unit will not work.  How did you deal with that issue?  Is it all taken care of in the module that you use?  I would be interested to know that.
