When you turn on your hazards, does it blink all the lights at once or in sequence?
Also, any new on a possible round 4?
My avatar is my hazards in sequence. There is a way to get it to flash all 3 per side, 1 simple wire connection, but it is for turn & hazards, not just one or the other.
Round 4 MIGHT happen, if there is enought interest.

And it won't happen until happen until I 10 that DO pre-pay, so I don't even ask for $ until I hit 12 or 13, because somebody WILL back out. Hasn't failed to happen yet.
Would ya'll like to pre-pay/buy the whole batch of 20, the I let YOU retail them?

hey im interested in purchasing. how much? what is it?(just instructions?)
Did you READ any posts? I guess noy....
NONE are available right now....It is some wiring modifications, and a custom designed circuit board device that creates the seuential flashing lights.
But none are available right now. I'll talk to my buddy today about the possibility making more
hey stephen. i am looking into getting another trans am. i will be looking at it tuesday. i think i am going to get it and if i do i will most definately be interested in another of your sts units if you and lou are going to make more. just posting to get on your list for round four since i was in on round two. and any of you guys who think that this is a hard mod to do. it isnt! this is very easy and stephen and lou make sure these things get to your door fast.

haha kinda. got through the first Page and said ****it. but anyhoo, put me down on ur list. ill take one for sure.
The first batches were selling for $50 shipped, but after the last batch, we're gonna find a different circuit board supplier. They raised their price to do the last batch, among other problems with them, but our price didn't change.
So, it MAY change, depending on we can get the boards made for.
Add me to the list for round 4, or any no shows of round 3.
I have had the car since new and have no intentions of ever getting rid of her, so when your ready I am too. Guess that means I have already been waiting 18 years for this mod
Round 3 has come& buy...Everything sold, so...no "no shows" at the end.
As typical, I got PMs in all 3 rounds of "I'll send the $ out tomorrow." But like a business would...I'm not holding a unit based on promises. First pay=first shipped.

So if I send payment, you have some to sell? I am ready to buy / pay if you have any left....let me know.
If we do this, I'll PM the names on the list before I post a Rnd. 4 thread. Give the ones that showed early interest the chance to get them before offering them to the rest of the public.
With that being said to everyone else...Feel free to PM me with interest& you'll get first shot at them. The list is only for names. First paid, first shipped.
Does any one have pics, or footage of these on a camaro with grid style taillights?
I wish....In fact, I've only seen like 2 of them installed, both Pontiacs, of the 60 that have been sold. In the beginning, there was a bit of difficulty in determining in how to make them work on a Camaro, as the harness wiring is different. But that has figured out & included in the instructions.
You are connecting the light blue wire to the white wire to integrate your turn signals with the brake lights.
Then AFTER you rewire the taillights per the rest of the instructions, the brake pedal will light up all red lights in the back and the turn signals will light up only one side. Like on a GTA.
Hope this helps.

Hey Lou,
Just to be clear on the under dash mod...I cut the blue wire to the brake switch and then when I attach it to the white wire do I just add it in, or does the white wire get cut and the blue wire go to one end or the other?
Yup, just add the light blue wire to the white one. You don't really need to, though. You can cut the white one and use only the half from the steering column. It's up to you.
Hope this helps.

Ok, so if you cut the white wire it is just originally just terminating on that block?
Ok, I'm pretty much good to go, did the under dash conversion and just need to tidy the backend up permanetly.
One big question though, my flasher is so quick the outside light never lights with the turn signal.
How can I slow this down? Just with another flasher? What's a good donor vehicle? I don't think these things are rated in anyway (just heavy duty ones for towing).
The accuracy of our flashers is astounding: once per second +/- 4.5 years.
You'll need to find a flasher that's slow enough for the STS. We had the same problem, had to go through about 3 flashers until we found one that isn't too fast.
Another option is to buy/make an adjustable flasher.
Hope this helps.

stephen how much is it for 20kits not sell price but just the hardware price. I could possibly put the money up.
Also can you make ones with a slower flash rate? found where to get new flashers? or would little resistors work on each bulb wire?
What do you mean by "kit"? These are sold assembled, not as you assemble pieces. And you hafta buy 2 sockets yourself, if you need the extra sockets.
Now, I have gone & gotten sockets for an overseas customer, as he can't exactly just walk in Pep Boys & get them.
I could get sockets for USA customers, but honestly? It's cheaper for YOU to get them than me. No extra shipping weight, etc.
As for the flash rate....These do nothing to control the flash rate. Your stock flasher controls the rate at which they flash. I've seen an adjustable flasher on eBay, but it was $25. A STS customer bought one & yes...It worked great. Just wasn't worth $25 (to me) to buy one. Not only that, but I (personally) have a problem with 1 cent auctions with $25 shipping, which was how that one was listed.
I "think" I saw one some time ago that was a kit and cost around $15. But I can't find it again.
Flashers are one of the easiest circuits out there. Any idiot can build one with the 555. If I had the time, I'd make one. Does anybody have a few spare days to sell? I'll pay well!

hey stephen just checking in to see if you had found a supplier or not? cause it seems like round 4 might be good to go if you had. just waiting to see if my 86 gets to have one like the 88!
