I just received and installed, not happy yet. Pain in the rump. If you want to have sequence operation, start running the "key operated" hot wire now. Also the grounds suck too and you will probably need to run ground wires too. Did you buy the special flasher? You need that too.
After installation, the parking lights lightly flash on both sides when you put on the turn signals, very annoying. Called for solution and went through all of their "tests" but found no weaknesses in grounding or voltages.
Another weird thing is that they put the "sequence selector" switch in the same hole as where you have to plug in the board (they have a short pigtail with a phony bulb stab that plugs into the outboard light bulb socket) to access the button to select the sequence, you need to remove the bulb socket from the housing, guess what, you lose the ground and the light stops working!
Why didnt they put the pushbutton in the inboard light socket hole that you dont end up using anyway?
Unsatisfied right now, been working on these lights for 3 days, even tried running ground wires directly to the friggin battery too! Junk right now

Anyone have install pics?  Waiting for the housings to come back from chrome plating then I want to get these installed.  Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried calling them to see if they have them available for a 71-72? I thought someone on here was getting some made for their car. If they did, they should have them.


That was me, I sent them a tail light assembly ( 1 side)

Perrybones,

Something must be amiss with the boards you have or something got hooked up incorrectly, or they messed up  the boards

The video on the website and the video on youtube are of the boards made for me. The first set.

Be patient, they are very busy there with lots of work coming their way. I'm sure they will help you get it figured out.

The boards pretty much fill the entire 70 housings, if the 71s are not as long, the 70 boards won't fit is my guess.

I sent in my housing and lens and just today they emailed me saying they are available in Aug 2022, here is a post about them if your still interested.
