Front Tribar LED with Sequential Turn MOD! (new thread)

[papinist]

The downside is, US tribars are not bright enough to be used as DRL and you miss sequential turn in tribars (if you like them)

Sequential turn is great but not really in adequation with the OEM turn light, so the next tri-bar version on my car will be without this feature

I actually just disconnected my OEM blinkers because I didn't like the look of the tribar sequential blinkers combined with the OEM blinkers. Now I love the look even more.

I also thought to make this, but with my 35w HID conversion, the sequential tri-bars are really not enough visible by night ... :(

On the bright side: you finally discovered a plus about the lame 25W EU drivers :cheers:

Same here

What I do is sequential indicator in the tri-bar. Then white LEDs in the OEM indicator housing and parking light housing, which both get signal from the parking light.

@flay thanks for the info, it's worth checking. What is the name of the supplier in Germany? Is there a website?

Hello, I can give you on private the mail of the salesman (all my Mustang parts were special orders, not regular stock in Romania, you can't find the headlights on a website), if is of interest for you. I asked and he was ok.

I am happy to have tribars functional no matter how powerfull are them or not (you people were angry a little on Ford for not having them in EU cars :ford: ) . Better than baking 1000 euros!
Maybe if someone can identify the pins that feed the led's a higher voltage can make them brighter?

but this has been done on a EU model or US model? You mentioned US model before.

 

[flay]

Mine it's a US model, yes. The idea is that you can have US headlamps with standard tribars for a third of the US prices, the parts bein already here. For sure a minor modification in the wiring harness of a EU car will power them. They are working with the sidelights on.

That is indeed the whole question if a swap to a EU model is that easy. From what I heard it was not regarding the prices but since you came by this good offer this might change things.

Well you said 375 each + vat that with my calculator is about 900 eur for having a pair of US headlights.
Not bad price, but the most famous mod around here is 500 eur. Of course in your case you can have a pair of EU headlights to sell, but you need first to pay 900 eur and then try to sell the others.
I'm not saying it's a bad offer, it's good to have alternatives, but it's not exxagerately cheaper

John, what do you mean by "not really in adequation"? Do they blink at a different rate? I bought the switchbacks from ebay (same like yours) and I am about to install them. Is it possible to have them on simultaneously with the tribars and simply disconnect the turn signal function, so that we only have the sequential turn signal on the tribars?

He means that the original american Mustang does not have the sequential turn in front tribars
You can what you want: you can disconnect the original blinker, the switchback blinker or the sequential-turn-in-tribars blinker.

 

[MakStang]

Thanks Stefano.

In that case I will not connect the turn signal function of the switchbacks. The sequential turn signal of the tribars will be my only front turn signal

 

[papinist]

Check if it will be visible because at night the headlights could lower the visibility of the tribar turn signal.
