Sequential tail lights
I don't usually post to see what others think but this time I would like to get some
other third genners opinions. Here's my idea, I am thinking about adding a cougar
sequential tail light system to my 86 Trans Am. I have the boxes and the TA lends
itself to this kind of mod already having three lights. I don't want to hear that's its a "*****" mod, just a yea or nay.

I was thinking about doing that on my Camaro, but it would look weird with the different colors. It would look much better, in my opinion, on a Firebird. It's really up to you... that mod would certainly be unique; I haven't seen it on any cars around here.

As too the cost?
Zip, I have had several cougars (and still do) and have several of these boxes lying around. They are very flaky!
When I drive my Cougar everyone always comment on the lights, so I thought what the heck.

Thats cool. I've never seen the cougers with those lights. I think it would look really cool at night. What if you did the all-red mod to your lights too? Then it would really be cool.

Just check my web page for complete details!
Of course I have to go to my parents to get the box and to figure out the wiring on my cougar so I can duplicate it. Just wanted to check with all my third genner friends to get a bead on the mod. So far its looking positive!
As for mechinally driven?? The control box it about 4" by 8" and looks like a bunch of relays and some old fashion electronics!
One could probally build a small cicuit board to do the same but I already have several of the boxes.

I have the ones from blinkblink.com on my Impala and they work great, no problems at all after three years of use. All you have to do is splice in a circuit board the size of a credit card on each side of your tail light wiring, and enlarge the middle lamp bucket so you can use a dual filament bulb.
Send an email to them to see if they will work on a 3rd Gen Firebird, I know they have been used on 4th Gen Camaros and Grand Nationals.
