LED Sequential Tail Light

[Bogar]

I was thumbing through Bronco Driver #79 and saw the ad for United Pacific sequential tail light. Seems cool and would definitely get the attention of other drivers (not the ones texting tho). Has anyone seen these in person or possibly have them? Looks like they can be had from Summit for $79.99.

I understand it for horizonal tail lights, old T-birds were the originals. Mustangs have it today.

How would you do it on a tall skinny light?

Right. Appears they are using the 3 columns of diodes.

Reviews are good. Only 3 reviews so far.

I think anything red and flashing is better than solid. Get people’s attention.

Also it appears you can disable the flash effect and go with all three on.

I have them and they work great. I would get you some pics if my Bronco wasn’t apart right now. They install was very straight forward.

Can you really tell they're directional with our skinny vertical tail lights on the Bronco? Like Broncobowsher said, they work well on horizontal tail lights like Cougars, but I'm having a hard time picturing them on Broncos.

I don't think those are the sequential ones.

There is a video of mine floating around here somewhere. I’ll see if I can find it.

I got mine from forum member Badmuttstang

I’m not sure how attaching FB videos works. Can you guys see this? Not my Bronco and not my video, but it should give you an idea.

That works a lot better than I thought it would. Pretty cool. May need this for my 72 patina build!

That’s the video I tried to link

I like it and gotta have them now! Thanks for sharing.

That made me tense watching how fast that flashed! I'd hate to have an angry driver following me ;D

I did order the non sequential set after reading this thread.

The catalog writeup said that you needed to use their flasher too. Maybe this install didn't use the new flasher causing it to blink fast?

Thanks for the video. I’m now out another $90 on my restoration.

That makes sense. I wonder if the "tall and skinny" of the actual light adds to the effect?

I had a quick look on their website when I purchased. It mentioned needing the flasher if you have both front and rear led's. I have normal globes up front at the moment but purchased the flasher just in case and to save on shipping.

I will post back once I install them to let everyone know if you do need the flasher with only rears. I'm sure I read someplace (perhaps a review) that the rears were installed without flasher and worked correctly.

This is for the non sequential.

If I ever go to LED I will have to get those!

I saw them at SEMA - they were flashing in a display but not installed in a vehicle. Definitely sequential in appearance even though they were tall-n-skinny and not wide like the T-Bird taillights. I believe I mentioned them in my Bronco Driver article in the most recent issue.
