    Quick update - I wrote the Amazon seller of the High Flying sequential turn signals to let them know I'm having the same issue with the replacement set (the passenger side sequential pattern is slow/not smooth and turns off abruptly at the end of the sequence). They apologized and admitted it's probably a problem with the whole batch. They are planning to send me a third set of lights directly from the manufacturer (outside of the US) to see if it resolves my issue, and will double check them before shipping. Fingers crossed!

    Just for shits, I also ordered a set of Suparee brand sequential turn signals off Amazon to see if they look/function any better on my truck. I'll let you guys know :)

    I got the Morimoto XB side markers and they are really high quality! Tbh, I wanted the side markers to be a "change and forget" thing so I decided to go with the big name brand. They're smoked and they match the factory LED pretty good imo. Ill try and see if I can add a vid

    If the next replacement set of High Flying turn signals has issues, I'll probably return and just spend the money on a higher quality option. The problem is, aside from Meso / Morimoto, the majority of online vendors seem to be selling rebranded versions of "High Flying" and "Suparee" sequential turn signals.

    While I wait for a replacement set, I decided to try the Suparee branded sequentials. I will say I'm pretty disappointed with the brightness/light output and will be returning these.

    "Suparee" Sequential Turn Signal Notes:
    + Smoother, better looking sequential light pattern/sequence than High Flying brand.
    + Darker tinted lens and design looks better when off, in my opinion.
    - Significantly dimmer and difficult to see the turn signal in direct sunlight. The High Flying lights are probably 2x to 3x brighter than the Suparee lights.

    I took a comparison video in case anyone is curious how they look:

    Wow, those Suparees are pretty pathetic. Hopefully your next set from High Flying will work normally.

    After 3 sets of Amazon "High Flying" sequential turn signals, I gave up and asked for my money back. The Amazon seller was great to work with, but none of the pairs of lights illuminated at the same speed, and it drove me nuts to have one side light up differently from the other.

    I paid a little more ($75-ish) and bought some Cali Raised sequential mirror lights. The light sequence matches side to side and they are almost as bright as the High Flying brand. The Cali Raised sequential light housings look identical to the Amazon "Suparee" brand, but they are at twice as bright, so I'm happy enough for now :)
