I'm PM-ing you my house number, feel free to call. Or you can Skype me too, either is fine.

i think ill attempt to wire it up as it is, should i cut the + to the 194 and just run it to the unit or should i simply tap into the + on the 194 and run it to the unit with a diode?

BTW these instructions are deceiving, I'm on the under dash mod and idk if I have it right, am I supposed to be splicing the blue and white together just bridging the circuits or am I supposed to be connecting the brake wire leading to the lights (not the switch side) to the white wire?
For the corner lense, I would recommend an extra bulb (with an extra socket). Nobody makes dual filaments in that size. It would mean, of course, making a small hole into the tail light plastic to get the socket in, nothing we can't handle.

Not sure what you mean by a 5V bulb, all bulbs on cars nowadays are rated for 12V.

I wouldn't hack the 194, as per your PM earlier. I would leave it in. And as I mentioned, I would add an extra socket with an extra bulb. The one worry I have is that if the bulb is too big, it will be too close to the lense and might melt it.

Sorry about the vague instructions, I will amend them.
You need the blue wire that you already cut off (as far away from the switch as possible) and you will splice it somehow into the white wire. I said "connect" in my instruction because the method is your choice. You can put a little male/female connector there, you can solder it, you can put a clamp on it, your call.

Call me if you have more questions.

Now you are.

I am trying to set up a Google Store with Google Checkout and it is taking more time than I expected.
If anybody wants to either mail a Money Order or can do a direct transfer GIFT payment via PayPal, PM me for details because I now have plenty of units pre-made and ready to go.

Re: Sequential Turn Signals - batch 7

89newfun, no worries, I have plenty of units now. I understand how this whole boss situation works, been married long enough.

Dabesiv, thanks for the link, that looks very nice! (I realize it's not your car)

Re: Sequential Turn Signals - batch 7

David, your payment arrived tonight. I will deposit it first thing in the morning and catch the mailman to drop off your unit with him.

I have an STS unit on my own Mustang. So your Mustang buddy is sure welcome to buy one.
Oh, was that supposed to be a secret? OOPS!

Thanks Lou. I did searching and found it earlier. I'm under the dash now. Can't find the brake switch. Any idea what the colors the wires are? You show colors for firebirds but not camaros

1982 Berlinetta? Now that will be harder, I do not have any diagrams for that car, sorry.
What does your repair manual say? The brake switch is right on the brake bracket and has usually 3 wires.
My only 1982 diagram (not even sure if it's a Berlinetta or which model) shows only two wires: orange and white. That system, though is only for vehicles with integrated rear turn signals and brake lights. Berliettas don't have that, so my diagram must be for a 'Bird.

I'll give you a call in a minute. You might want to edit your post and remove your number to prevent spambots from collecting it.

Yes, the blue wire coming from the brake switch needs to be connected to the white wire. That's all.

I updated the instructions online too, thanks for the feedback. Hopefully the new Camaro-specific diagram will help. Please let me know.

Re: Sequential Turn Signals - batch 7

Hey, BBL. I added a center taillight which lights up as a brake light and the wings work as directionals. Would this still work if I installed your STS?

Cool bat!!
So the wings are connected to the turn signals and flash with the red bulbs? You can keep that functionality, I don't think it will visually disturb it. It will work with my unit, no problem.

Mine was a little different to instal cause the wiring diagram wasn't right. But once i talked to Lou about it it was fairly easy. A few splices and some crimps and you're good to go

After some trial and error with adjusting the mechanical flasher, I accidentally broke it. but now i have the electronic flasher and everything is working perfectly for me. Thanks a lot Lou for the product and some beyond superior support on this!

Yes. I just added 2 dual filament sockets and tied 1 of them into the center brake/directional sockets for each side. They're brake lights and also flash for directional. So I'm thinking the wing will light up at the same time as the center sockets with the STS. Great. Put me down for one. I have paypal.

Glad to hear that yours is flashing as expected!
How much was the adjustable flasher? Got a link? I am working on one but still have one issue to iron out.

It definitely is not too late. I got units pre-made now, sitting on the shelf, ready to go, if you'd like one. PM me for more information.

So now you have 3 bulbs per side, that would work nicely.
I'll PM you my PayPal info. I can ship your STS unit first thing in the morning!

Well I haven't been in there for a while but I believe I now have 4 per side. It causes my directionals to flash fast but I plan on replacing the bat sockets with LEDs. That should solve the flashing problem. I will send it paypal as soon as I get your message.

Got it.
I am holding your unit in my hands right now, I am testing it before I ship it in the morning.
Thanks for the payment that went without a glitch.

Looking forward to seeing your bat flash! You can let it flash with the first (innermost bulb). If you use an LED, it will light up faster and look like another stage of the sequence.

Yeah I would like it to work upon arrival!

That would be cool, like a 4 socket sequence. I have to see if they make bright LED arrays that fit the old sockets or I will just switch to some kind of dual LED socket (or mount 2).

Yup, they do make LEDs with the 1157 sockets on them. They are not cheap (when WERE LEDs cheap? ) but they might be worth it.

How much was the adjustable flasher? Got a link? I am working on one but still have one issue to iron out.

I just walked into the local pep boys, best prices for parts here. It was around $12, a little much, but oh so worth it

Super bright LEDs has some 1157s for as low as $8 it's better then local shops charging $20 or more for one bulb

Wow, that is unbelieveably cheap. They used to cost $60 a year or two ago and they cost $45 last time I checked. $12 is a very reasonable price, I am happy to hear that.

Which ones would look best in our taillights? Obviously the "spider" style lights won't fit into the light housing. I'd prefer to keep the illumination looking right. Not just one bright bulb in the middle. I was looking at the P/N: 1157-x1W-G: 1 Watt High Power LED BAY15D Bulb with Stock Cover. Is that a good choice?

I wish i could be of more help here. I have experience with the 194 bulbs but havent done any of the 1157s. I wish i could afford the spider like ones but Im still a kid in a sense and making a kids wages haha. Im getting ready to order the 19 LED bulbs in red with 100 degree light output. i thought about painting the inside of the reflector housing silver too but not sure if itll add any light to it. once i order them i can post a video of incandescent vs. the LEDS

Yeah it is. I just ordered them. Wasn't sure which would be best for my center light so I ordered the 19 and the 30 in the 100 degree angle.

Question: is this a GM plug-in replacement flasher or did you have to splice it in and modify the wiring?

The one that I'm working on is a direct plug-in, no modifications necessary.

It's direct plug in made by Dorman, it plugged in no problem and fit in the original holding spot too ( behind the choke light which seemed odd) . I believe the part number was 552 which is the dual pin and 550 was for the tri pin. I may have those swapped though

Re: Sequential Turn Signals - batch 7

Great, thank you so much for the information. Hopefully it will help others who need an adjustable flasher. This is so much cheaper than it used to be. And I spent countless hours making mine.

You were extremely helpful with my wiring issues and were very fast about making a new diagram so I'm more than happy to help you and others make this an easier and cheaper project with any info I can
