I think you would need a more complicated setup with multiple relays etc. Anybody?

You lucky guys in the states!! No changes at the lightning of the car is legal in Germany. Especially LED-bulbs are not allowed.
The police will stop you immediately, if they recognise you have done any changes at the light’s.
But I like the changes you are working out.

That is the easiest thing in the world. And yes, that will be an option in the group buy I plan on putting together. It will reduce the price a good amount.

Hey how about making a them go back and forth like Knightrider when you put the hazzard light on.

As far as the "night rider" effect, this would be impossible to do as a "plug and play" option. When the hazards are turned on, there is just a simple "on and off" signal from the electrical system. There are only 2 wires going to the turn signal, positive and ground. The turn signal would have to somehow distinguish between "turning" and hazard lights. I could rig something up between the 2 housings so that, the chip would sense when they are both on at the same time, then they do a "double time" sequence and "night rider" back and forth. But this would also significantly raise the cost.

The group buy will more than likely have 2 main options, sequential, and non-sequential. Obviously, the sequential will cost more than the non-sequential, but no where near double. I will finalize all options and prices as May approaches.
