Man, that looks fantastic! Incredible work!
I've been contemplating putting some sequentials into my rear lights at some point in the future. Would you be down to share any documentation you've got on the topic?

Absolutely the best I've seen on a 2GTL. Way better than the last revision, you're skills are showing. Huge improvement. Can't wait to see how you did it!

Love the sequential turn signals !

but can't say the same for the RGB and the Parking light though. I'm just not a fan of RGB and the parking light LED doesn't flow as well with the car in my opinion.


Great job though man! Looks very clean.

In my first build I used an led strip and cut the positive side everywhere I could and had it connected to an S10 sequencer. It sequences the positive side so cutting the strip stopped it from reaching the next section. This worked amazing and had an adjustable speed.

My current version uses 2 of
this strip this strip
each connected to
this relay this relay
to extend it slightly delay the next one.I mainly used them because of some problems drilling through
the diffuser the diffuser
and it was just easier to get through. Its slow as you can see and not adjustable. I use
this relay this relay
to slow down all the turn signals. It causes a small error on the first flash where the 2 separate strips sequence themselves not in order so I've gotta look into that.

tail lights look similar to the TL in shape and the little trunk part so this video helped.

Your 3D print AC control is still running strong.
