New plug-n-play Tailight Sequencer

[JETS 81 DMC]

I would like to mount my control circuit board to the back of the tail light circuit board but don’t know if it will fit without rubbing on the back bulkhead. Could someone tell me what the distance from the front of the mounting flange for the tail light Assembly to the back bulkhead? I attached a couple of pictures to show what I’m talking about. Any help appreciated. Don’t have access to a DeLorean to check for myself. Thank you.

See his post #16 for a question with pictures he is asking for some help with.



A bump for ya DeepSpace

I’m leaning towards the LEDs, any chance there will be another cool video with the LEDs?

Thanks for sharing the project!

I’ll post a video with LED’s in the next day or so. Thanks! DS

On second thought, give me a week. I have to order some parts.

Drive a new car with the factory 6000K LED headlights and you will never want to drive again with incandescent.

INDEED! Ridiculously great.

I think you'll be OK. Our first attempt at a sequencer product was a piggyback board that snapped on to the existing taillight board:

Here is a photo of the board inside the rear fascia:

It was tight but it fit. It looks like your board is thinner when you consider the connector that we had. Actual clearance behind the taillight board is difficult to measure. The problem is the clearance distance varies depending on both horizontal and vertical location. The taillight lens is angled and the fascia pocket for the taillight is also angled. Additionally, there is the wiring harness behind the board.

To be sure, it would be best to install your board in a car and verify the clearance.

Thanks Ron! That really helps! Thank you for including the pictures also. I’m with you, I think I’ll need to check installation on the real thing.

Send me a set! I'll be happy to be the guinea pig! 😂

If you lived in Oklahoma I would consider it!
