Default LED Tail Lights and Sequential Turn Signals (video)

Ok, first of all, this was just a quick test so it will look much better when its done. And second, I know what youre all thinking, why not make the turn signal go all the way across the tail light and the answer is simple, It would cost another $120. I will eventually but not right now.
The first vid is of the turn signal and tail light and the second vid is of the turn and brake light. There will be more led's for the brake lights, I just havent put them in yet.

Thank you.
Wait until you see it finished and on the car you might change your mind.

Needs to be slowed down. It does not have enough "on time" to radiate and looks dim because of it. Put about a second delay on that flash. When you broadcast light you have to have it on long enough to be collectively received.

I agree, it needs to be slowed down. But man, that's cool. Throw that on a car!

On another note that LED set up is sick, they look HUGE!

It will be slower when its pluged into the car. In the video I was testing it with a constant current instead of an on and off turn signal.
BTW, on a side note, does anyone (*caugh* olt) know how much resistance is needed to fix hyper blink in the SC?
