However, if you're planning on installing them on your IROC, you would need to make a physical modification to the tail lights.

Re: i want Sequential taillights...

Because we don't have multiple lightbulbs for a brake light (or turn signal). And on top of that, our turn signal is amber/orange so that can't be used anyway.

The modification isn't that hard, many people just repainted the orange lens with matching red paint and it looks the same.

If you do this, you'd have the first Camaro with sequential tail lights. Nobody has one so far. Or at least nobody has claimed to have one.

I never saw this until today....

Other than painting the amber section red, the only mod needed is in the wires themselves, which you'd hafta do regardless of new or old lenses.

Re: i want Sequential taillights...

Now that I'm trying to paint my tail lights red, I'm even thinking of the 3-bulb conversion on my Z28. It sure would be cool to have the first Camaro on the road with Sequential Turn Signals!!

Well...The boards & parts are in. And the STS units being assembled.

BUT.....I promised to the people who had expressed interest in getting one over the last several months, that they'd have first shot at getting one before this batch is sold out. This is the 4th batch (we build them in batches of 20 at a time) & I will be posting a new thread for them, when the time comes. Or you are welcome to be added to my list of "want one" names. In which case, you'll get a direct PM vs just catching the new thread post.

Should I add your name to my list? PM me if so.

This goes for ANYONE wanting one. I have no problem taking names, of those who express interest.

It'll be 6 more days before they are offered publicly anyways, & if you can't get one when they are available, you can't. No biggie.
