Re: Universal Seqqential Turn Signals - Round 3
When (not if
) Round 4 starts, I'll be contacting the people who have expressed interest FIRST, before a public offering is made, for Round 4.
Quite possibly, the entire batch could be sold, and none be left for a public offering.
Yes...WHEN, not if.....I just know a little something, something.....

Re: Universal Seqqential Turn Signals - Round 3
Stephen probably knows a secret - that we found a way to make the boards locally. 
Now, I can't promise anything ... but Christmas might come early this year.
Next update by the end of the week.
Cheers.

Re: Universal Seqqential Turn Signals - Round 3
Hey Stephen, could you pencil me in for one of these units. I can't comit to buying one just yet so if someone else puts interest in a unit just move me down a slot. I have an 89 formula and I am looking to get a set of GTA lights to put in my car and once I do that I want the sequential lights on the car. So I need to get the tail lights first then I will go with your unit. Just have to find a very nice set of tail lights that won't cost me an arm and a leg. I will keep you updated on when i get the tail lights.

Now...I fully expect some of those 30 to "drop out"/not be interested anymore(sold their car, out of $, etc.)....
PMs will be sent to those persons first, the publicly offered, if there are any extras.
So if there is any more interest...PM me now & I'll PM you in the order I receive your interest..

Re: Universal Seqqential Turn Signals - Round 3
Update: we have boards. So we can start building STS units once parts get here. Should be this week.
Stephen will be creating a new thread for the next round when we have enough units to cover the demand.
So patience, please.

Re: Universal Seqqential Turn Signals - Round 3
I haven't decided if I am going to keep mine or not. I put in my new tail lights but there are some big gaps on one sides and on the bottom of the tail lights. I put my formula tails back in so my sts unit might be for sale as well as the gta tail lights as well.

Re: Universal Seqqential Turn Signals - Round 3
FYRCHKN got his installed o his 91 TA Sunday, during the Daytona 500.
He swapped out his tail lights for GTA lights, so he had to rewire his 4 bulbs to 3 bulbs, and change the turn signal wires. Which really, was no big deal. Since the STS reroutes the turn light signals anyways, that portion is done anyways, the same for any other STS installation.
Right side, after Formula/TA to GTA light conversion....

Left side, after the needed wires were cut....

Left side, showing the STS unit wired up....

Close up of the above pic, STS wired up....

The 91/92 GTA lights are those wide 2 piece assemblies, that combine the center section into the light housings.

Re: Universal Seqqential Turn Signals - Round 3
I think so, but he had the basic Firebird lights, with the amber sections. So he only had to swap out the outer 2 pieces & change from 4 bulbs per side to 3. And make the tail lights into turn signals too, since there was no longer the amber section with separate bulbs.

Re: Universal Seqqential Turn Signals - Round 3
Start with Page 6 titled "Base TA, ‘91/’92 TA or ’82-92 Camaro installation" instructions, but considering your base TA has already been converted to the 2-piece GTA lights, I have no way of knowing what the previous did to accommodate them.

And I don't know of any videos of sequentials on standard Firebird taillights. I do know some people have swapped out their standard lights for the GTA style ones though.

No promises....But everyone who wants one, shoot me a PM (even those who just posted here recently) so that I can keep all the requests in one place, and we'll see how many interested parties there are.
It would take a MINIMUM of 10 to get started, due the required build quantity.

So how many are we up to now on this second batch? I sent my PM stating I would take two of them. If we're getting close I'll take a third as another spare or to sell later to someone else to get this rolling.....

Re: Universal Seqqential Turn Signals - Round 3
Just gotta convince the builder, another TGO member, to build them. I have plenty of people that say they want them lately, but if he doesn't build them, my hands are tied.
Paying for them doesn't seem to be a problem, so the ball is in his court now.
