1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3.

I recently bought a set of WebElectric Sequential turn signals (STS-1MSS Pre-wired Harness) for the 2001 Bullitt. I waited a while since there was one aspect of the plug-n-play turn signal kits on the market that I didn't like: the brake lights sequenced once when the brake pedal was pressed. In fact, using the hazard lights caused the turn signals to sequence as well. Luckily for me, WebElectric updated their plug-n-play offerings, and now the kits function as (I think) they should.

Here's the WebElectric kit. It's really a plug-n-play deal. The phone cord connects the two harnesses, and keeps the brake lights and hazards from sequencing at all.

Here's the driver's side harness installed in the tail light housing. The only thing I didn't like was that the rubber grommet (left) is straight in the kit, unlike the 90-degree one from Ford. I taped the wires down when installed.

It's worth noting that I put a small blob of 3M Strip Caulk (every classic car guy has some of this around) at the bottom of each tail light housing assembly post in the photo above (the gold threaded posts) to keep water out of the trunk. Also, all three of the bulbs are illuminated in each housing when the lights are on or the signals are in use. From Ford, only two bulbs on each side are in use. Having additional lighting out back must be a good safety feature too.

Here's a quick video I posted showing the sequential turn signals in action. Perhaps it would be nice if they were a tad slower, but this really doesn't matter much. With LED bulbs installed, they'd probably be pretty cool too.

I was watching the "Back to the Future" movies the other day with my kids who are now 7 and 5. These movies are loaded with neat little details, and it really helps to have HD and a DVR to see them. Checking out what others are saying online is interesting too.

I noticed that in Back to the Future II, there's a scene in Biff's office, where there are magazines visible on his desk. There could have been any magazine placed there, but what kind of magazine was on top? A Mustang & Fords magazine! Biff is obviously a car guy, but I'd like to think he's a Camaro fan instead! :-)
