    This is video taken in my shop yesterday afternoon just after installation. I think it definitely improves the
    Safety Factor since they are SOOOOOO visible .. The actual lights are more " blended" and don't have as many "small pixle" like led's showing as in the videos. Jim @

    Hi Mojo:
    Not too complicated. EASY PERFORMANCE PRODS. provides well prepared instructions. The Four LED boards
    are mounted " inside" the taillight housings after removing the outer lenses. Two screws for each board . The boards are individually designed for each section of the housing and fit well . Dr.Bill wired ours direct and did not use the
    "bulb base" which is included in the kit . The only additional wire would have to be from the front of the car to a key " ON" source to make the Sequential Function operate properly. Jim at Easy Performance did an exceptional job on these kits and I would personally recommend them. See you in Champaign , Illinois ( Lord Willing!)

    Hi Rick:
    I wasn't expecting them to be so bright .. I was pleasantly surprised . When you use this kit the Back Up Light is
    lost since that portion of " That" lens flashes RED . I would recommend Mustang Back Up Lights for Small Bumper
    Cars in the Lower Valance , and maybe another type for Larger Bumper Cars . I've installed the Mustang Back Up
    Lights in all the COMETS and they work great. I have a " How To " section on my website that shows how to do this if anyone is interested. I've seen OTHER Comets on the forum WITH the Mustang Back Up Lights in the valance of Small Bumper Cars since we put this up on the site years ago. It works well.

    Hi Stefan:
    Glad you like them . It seems there is a positive response to this setup on this forum. These ought to make an
    impression at the HOT ROD Power Tour stops . We leave TODAY @ 3:00 pm and we're planning on making the
    LONG HAUL to the end. I have a lot of brochures on the Sequential Taillights from EASY PERFORMANCE that
    Jim and Donna sent to me along with the first set of COMET Sequential Lights I've posted . I'll be passing these
    out at each stop . EASY PERFORMANCE put these together quickly , and next-day aired them to me so I would
    have them in time for this upcoming TOUR . I'am not sure what the cost will be , but I would think it would be
    comparable to the MAVERICK Sequential Setup already available now. I have two sets of those also but haven't
    installed them yet .. Still building the '70 Maverick and haven't rubbed the paint out yet.
    Also I'am photographing the Install of the COMET assembly and I'd be glad to post them if you think it would
    help anyone out there considering this installation. In the meantime , I enjoy this forum and find a lot of useful information on a multitude of subjects .
