Very cool. Where are you hiding all the relays? (sorry if i missed it)

I made a mounting cage that contains all the relays, Arduino, fuse, and wire connections. Its about 4"x5"x1" and I mounted that in the rear compartment on the back wall passenger side under the carpet.

Hello all! A new update to my sequential turn signals! I added functionality for 1 tap to pass. This is where tapping on the turn signal lever once will cycle through the pattern 4 times. It's useful when changing lanes. Lots of new cars have this. Check it out in action on my video here!






I noticed the lights one at a time. Im glad you updated that.
I think when i do mine, i'll just use one LED in the mirror. (more resistance?)

I built my sequential tail lights from a plan that I bought back in 2002 off the internet. I still have the plans. Although I have been stopped by the police, it has never been for the tail lights. If the police were stopping people for having 3 tail lights flash, then they would be pulling over a lot of Mustang drivers as they have sequential tail lights on a lot of their cars.

My original plan was that the lights would light one at a time under normal signaling and then stay lit when braking and signaling. Eventually I decided it looked better keeping them lit through the pattern, so I switched it to do that all the time.

You mean one led as opposed to the strand? I'd like to see how it comes out! I'm not sure how resistance would be affected, you can probably find single leds with a wide variety of resistances to meet your design.

To date, it has never been mentioned by police. But I have been pulled over for speeding, while being passed by another car who did not get pulled over, so maybe it was the flshy lights that caught the officer's eye. No way to prove it one way or the other.

This has been an introduction to the Arduino for me. I'm a DIY hacker myself, this just makes my project way cooler and funner if that's a word!

Thanks good job!

Very cool.
I just got around to rewelding those drop corvette adaptors I got from you so as soon as I am done feel free to take my northstar and do the lights. Send me a bill.LOL

Hey, good to hear you got those drop spindles welded up. I'd totally be up for doing your lights! Unfortunately I'm out of the country for work now and probably won't be back home until next year.

how many wires did you have to run to the rear of the fiero. It look s like a whole harness?
