Totally correct
Papinist got his euro lights done by [MENTION=9174]caniggia[/MENTION], but [MENTION=12253]papinist[/MENTION] tinted his lights red

I know he tinted his lights to start with but is that the same pair he had converted to sequential or did he buy a pair of US ones?

I know I wasn't happy with the EU lights when the spec was confirmed but TBH I've come around to the clear lenses, although I have got a red tint kit to go on when I have my stripes done, so for me, that just leaves the sequential operation which isn't worth the several hundred quid it would cost to get converted.

If anyone has a friendly autoelectrician nearby, it may be worth mentioning this to them as a little sideline since I'm pretty sure the time investment would prove to be worthwhile.

It's probably actually quite simple to do with an arduino board in a small enclosure to take over the indicator signal and switch the LED's to amber in sequence... presuming that the LED's are in fact all RGB and not just the outer ones that act as indicators... need to see inside one to be sure

This guy in the US seems to have an easy solution to fitting the Euro lights to his US Mustang.

If the Time investment can net the guy around £300 to convert them, why the hell not, i'll give any electrician up and down the country £300 to convert my white Euro lights to Sequential Amber lights :lol:

I was once upon a time an electronics engineer in the RAF, I'm going to pull mine apart and have a look at what can be done.

If he has to replace all the LED's with RGB ones then I can understand 300 quid but if there are all already RGB's then it should be fairly trivial to hookup a micro controller to do it... in theory

 

[Ian whu]

that USA car that has EU rear lights, look at video, only outside ones are orange when he puts sequential indicators on, so looks like only outside light has orange led's

I don't suppose anybody knows how much Ford want for a pair of mustang rear lights?

Which would make sense really, Ford wouldn't put them in the other 2 sections if they aren't needed

Time to order one then and take a dremel to it... I'm sure I can come up with something that's cheaper / easier than sending them to Poland

 

[Ian whu]

Good luck

Be cheaper to get something like this won't it, just for testing

Whichever it is, i'll bring my car down to you if you can do it for £300 :lol:
