anyone else hate our brakelights?

has anyone noticed the fact that us newer mustang owners have SIX tail lamps... but when we're on the brakes.. only four light up? I know a sequential kit will fix that, but i'm going with cobra tail lights that have an amber signal (as soon as i can find the other side for less than $300 ) so i still want the added safety of having all three light up.

so i'm working on testing the lights and everything. i'll hopefully have pics and a wiring diagram up tomorrow afternoon once i get my camera back from my GF.. lol

Never seen the tail lights of an 05 to 09 yet!

Seriously though I have not noticed it as the guys and gals around here have the sequencials installed.

well like i said i am going with cobra tail lights and dont feel like spending the $100 for the kit for sequentials. i just want the added light when i have the brakes on. i'll have the amber light for turning so that's good enough for me lol

I installed the sequential kit for mine and noticed that the unlit lamps already have bulbs in them so all you have to do is put a jumper in to light them up too.

Lightbulb

well update for everyone i went and finished everything up lastnight. everything is working out pretty sweet. i'll upload pics/vid after works tomorrow.

as for install it was really easy to make it look clean in my tinted regular tails. but the cobra tail was a bit harder (dont want the amber going off as well)

it's really a great mod for those that want the added safety for being seen (or just wanna stand out a little lol)
