There are not individual external controls for each column of LEDs. To make them sequence I would have to have a tail light to take apart and rebuild.

That's fine... no sequence then, I'll stick with my 05-06 round tails...

Question though, can you make the circles go around and around in the direction I'm turning? LOL... only kidding... unless it can be done...

Im down for this for the 05-06 tails.

Question though.

Which phase would blink? The low(parking light) or the high(Brake light)

Haha, FX style. If you guys do get them taken apart, one of the FX guys a while back thought the MB SLR style array would be cool. It's essentiall a 3 row of arrays, but the parking side of the array lit only the upper row, rear vertical row, and lower row. Essentially creating a C if you were to look at the passenger side tail light. The leds that are left on the array not lit by parking lights are for the blinker.

Hard to describe unless you've seen an SLR. Probably goofy idea, but sounded cool when he brought it up.

I hope it is the brake (high).

Yes, I agree. It should be the high phase that should blink leaving the low phase lit otherwise at night and obviously off during the day.

Good idea for the 03-04s....

This also gives me some ideas to do once I get the module... like you mention...

high, completely on & off... next time you guys are behind an FX at night turning at a stop, take at look at the tails... that is what these will be.

I planned to call you Andy to tell you about this... you might want to consider a complete overlay (without the sliver angle) - when this is confirmed to work.

Maybe you & Kevin can put a GB package deal together?

I plan to paint mine, but I'm sure there will a lot of people that will go the overlay route - I've had a great 3 years with mine!
