I have a question about the install of the sequential turn signals from web electric. It says that the modules have to be mounted in the trunk but I did a search adn read that at least one forum member placed his behind the tail lights. Has anyone else done this? any pictures? If it matters, my car's a notchback. Also, how did you route the wire back to the dashboard to stop the brakes from sequencing. Thanks.

I drilled a hole through the back of the trunk and ran the wires from the module thru the hole to the light sockets. The modules are between the trunk carpet and the trunk surface. There is already some pilot holes back there. Make sure you have enough slack from the modules so you can get all the sockets in. I saw all that extra wire and cut it off then had to splice it back in because the sockets wouldn't go back in.
As for the brake lights it explains that in the instructions. I didn't run any wire up to the dash at all. There is a good write up how-to on this here.

In the trunk helps avoiding corrosion etc vs mount behind taillights.
Use a grommet so vibration etc doesn't short out the unit.

I mounted mine behind the tail light. I drilled some small holes somewhere back there ( this was a few years ago) and held them in the upright position with small cable ties.

OK...so my brother & I were installing sequential taillights on my '88 Fiero coupe last night & we hooked everything up temporarily to see if we got the connections right & they worked beautifully. We started to clean up the wiring before putting everything back in place for good and now it appears we have no power to the brake and turn signal on the that side (other side & high mount stop light are OK) - taillights work, though, just not brake & turn signal. We checked the fuse & that looks good. We did clip a wire that was no longer being used flush with the connector, so am not sure if that makes any difference. We took the sequential module completely off & still get no power at the wire when we checked it with a voltmeter - it actually shows a negative number. We are stumped. Any ideas?

Thanks,
