If I didn't already have LED tails
|
i was just thinking of this the other day when i saw the new mustang turn signal, where they turn left and the left one "scrolls" from right to left indicating the direction.. have you seen or are aware of an LED strip for the 3rd brake light where it does that when i signal? like same single strip of LEDs but it "scrolls from right to left and left to right... i think this would be an epic mod!
|
i guess "sequential rear signal" is the most proper term!
|
I remember the late 60's Cougars had sequential tails and always loved that feature. I like that they starting using it again on the new Mustangs. Previous generation had it as an option.
|
i would LOOOOOVE to have that as a 3rd brake light. i haven't seen it yet on an HHR OFF FOR RESEARCH!!!! will post if i find anything!! link included!!

lookd like motorcycle light strips are goin to be the case.. buy two and independently wire the right side to the right tail light and the left side to the left tail light.. should work..
|
IIRC. The cruise control wiring relays through the 3rd brake light. Some folks upgraded those bulbs and rendered the cruise inoperable.
Be careful if you plan to modify the 3rd brake light. You could "loose the cruise". |
Cool on cars like the mustang since their tails are broken up into section...just retarded on the cobalt and malibu thats in the video. Sorry guys, just not feeling this one at all.
|
Heres a question then. Im sick of my third brake light decal. You cant read it at night. So i figured id just disconnect that light. I know its a law to have a third brake light but thats not an issue around here. So will it cancel out my cruise if i disconnect it?
|
these are really cool
|
Had sequential turn signals on the 3 Fiero's that we had. There was a company that made an easy kit to convert the 1 running light into a third brake light and into sequential tail lights. They were quite popular on Fiero's.

"Retarded???????"

I think the effect is too subtle with a single bulb replacement, but if the multi-LED replacements (Bermuda) were animated in a similar way, that would kick ass.
|
What firemangeorge said. Tried LED's in the 3rd brake light and cruise failed to work, out they came and back to normal.
I believe it requires the current draw. Not connected no draw, no cruise. Give it a try. |

WTF?? is that like saying it's 'gay' too? great choice of words.

Solman- I remember the 60's Thunderbirds having sequentials too...Always liked that :twothumbs:
|
I personally think any extra movement in the lights will help people see me just that much better.
Chefhhr. Really!! |

I still like the ipcw especially the 4 tails, much better visibility.
|
well i dont want to spend 300-400 on lights, so $30 is good for now :)

Although this product is certainly appealing, I don't think it's worth the $$, but everyone has their choices. If it's for you, then go for it.
Maybe if I only owned 1 or 2 vehicles or if they were $20 a pair, I'd see it differently, but when you own 6 and you're not a millionaire, you have to choose your purchases carefully for each one. My current car project is not with my HHR SS, but IMO money well spent on it was the TTR rear sway bar. This type of thing is an economical and effective mod. |

Chefhhr. Really!! The Mustang lights are cool. The T-Bird was first and I've had two 60's Cougars. I don't judge in any case...Do what pleases YOU! First rule in having your ride a personal experience...:thumb: |

I just bid on a set....A subtle difference, but I think it does improve viability but IMHO unless designed for LEDs the LEDs do look 'Ricer' to most peeps..:skull:

of course, that could induce seizures........:roflol: |
I just like the idea that some are still making stuff that will work on hhrs'...
|
I might try these. $40 isn't bad for a pair. I built a setup for my 89 Shelby and loved it. This may not be a obvious but we will see how it looks.
Here is the Shelby : |
