hi- I just did the corner light rewire and its awsome. My girlfriend says it looks like night rider at night but i still like it. I was thinking back to once when i was looking threw one of those mustang magazines at the repair shop and saw a cool tail light mod. You know the mustangs from the previous style where the tail lighs are devided in to 3 verticle sections. Well they did some wireing thing so when u pressed the brake first the 2 inner most lights lit, then the 2 middle, and then the outters. No only did it look cool but the motion of the lights illumination form inside to outside would catch drivers attention before they rear end you. Is there any kind of thing you you could wire in to the tail light wireing to delay the inner or outter lights from lighting for a 1/2 seccond or so?

I've seen the Mustang mod you're talking about. The different blink times are done with a dynamite stick (looks like a stick of dynamite I don't think our lights have any such capability. What lights would you light up and in what order?

hi- I was thinking maby it would look cool if the inner two lights lit up a 1/2sec or so before the outer. I know with audio components you can wire in a resistor or something you make the front speakers delay just a little to it hits your ears all at the same time. I just though maby there would besomething you could wire in to the outer tail ligh harness to make them light up just after the inner.

I was thinking about the tail light mod a while ago.. I don't know anything about electronics but my plan was to add a couple more lights in the housing and then do the mustang thing.... -or- (this would be hard) have the LED stip in the spoiler start with only the two center LEDs then work its way to the outside as you hit the breaks...
