A lot of modern car indicators are almost impossible to notice especially during the day but those look great Manders.

Plus I now see all sorts of crazy design DRLs. Why on earth did Ford take ours away.

What they left us with are pointless.

well, the sequential indicators in the front tribars ISNT stock on the US models. just the white fins, the sequential rears however, are. :headbang:

With these kind of mods that rely on a switched live to work, how do they work with the ignition off and key out - as a specific example the hazards.

As I see it (possibly wrong)
Ignition on = switched 12v on = sequential ambers
Ignition off = switched 12v off = no sequential ambers

?

Too 'kin technical for me. Gibbo, help us out. :shrug:
I hate electrical stuff. If there is one thing I won't do and that is soldering and messing with wires. I get my mate to do it who says dude this is the easiest stuff ever, you rebuilt your own engine but your scared of soldering some wires together. :D

Not a case of not being able too, I just prefer to do any electrical stuff with a mate who has sound thinking so everything is double and tripled checked.

Unless of course it is tuning/ECU/Computer stuff then I will happily have a go at that, I wrote my own throttle maps for the M3 as I disliked the stock BMW sport settings, way too on/off jumpy feeling. So I wrote my own sport throttle map and put it on the car, absolute bliss now. :)

It is the one thing I dislike about the Mustang, the throttle mapping is pretty poor, even Lund don't seem able to get it right, best my car ever drove was on stock air box with JDM tune, don't get me wrong it drives nice on the setup I have now but then I jump in the M3 and it just makes the Mustang throttle mapping feel shit in comparison. But the engine configuration also helps there, the M3 has six small throttle bodies attached to two throttle position sensors with a heavily spring accelerator pedal so BMW do not only get razor sharp response but it is also super precise and buttery smooth.

I won't give up on the Mustang as I have the coding software now and I have figured out how to do my own throttle maps, though its a goddam nightmare compared to BMW as there is three different throttle maps, then pedal vs actual, then drive by wire, then driver torque demand, its just a big case of WTF. The downside is I cannot even do a throttle map and send it to Lund as they only use SCT software and not HP tuners. :(

/Rant over!

Back to sequentials, I will most likely get them done later in 2017 once they have rears figured out and can offer a 1 day swap out service. I also have the switch backs at home but never fitted because yep I need to do some chopping and splicing of wires so not being bothered with them yet.

[MENTION=13598]Gibbo205[/MENTION] Pish posh, you work with computers ;)!

the switchbacks, are they the ones form Proled or from DD? i think proleds are PnP, but unsure. ben looking at them for a while. Rear sequentials im close to being booked in for :)

What about the JMS Pedle max, would that not boost the response, seen a few youtube vids looks like it does something.

I don't need ignition for sequentials, they're linked into the indicators, the electrical work behind it, i'm clueless lol :lol:

Ha!
Just from what I've seen there tends to be one connection each for amber and brake signals and one connection for 12v switched power. In my head at least, ignition off means no power to sequential module. Do the lights default to stock in this case?

If i turn all the lights off, as in twist the headlight module thing to the 'O' looking thing, (Far left), they'll go back to stock DRLs. :thumbsup:

Mode 1: Stock DRL
Mode 2: new DRL only / Dims DRL when indicators go on
Mode 3: New DRL and Headlights
Mode 4: Auto
