    Hi All,

    I have a 2013 with Alpharex headlights, LED mirror turn signals, and Luxx tailights. All of these are LED and sequential.

    Question: Is there a way to make all of the lights sequenced with each other? Meaning, when my turn signal on my headlights blink, it is the same exact blink in sequence as my mirror lights, and tail lights? Currently when my headlights blink, they are on the opposite sequence as my mirror lights.

    thanks!

    The flasher doesn’t alternate or delay signals. Sounds like a hardware issue. Apparently one of the aftermarket lights has a “delay”.

    i dont believe its hardware... when my headlights sequence, the mirror lights are on the opposite sequence, is there are way to sync them together? can i plug them in at the same time somehow? im trying to find out if thats even possible?

    Do either the headlight or mirror light have switchbacks in them, meaning do they switch from white to amber? There is usually a delay with switchbacks. But yes, this is a hardware issue, the signal from the turn signal relay is being sent to all of them at the same time.

    Yes! the headlights do have switchbacks but its manual from Amber to White, you have to open the back up to switch it back to either amber or white.... are you saying if i had them on white, it would most likely sync together then?

    It is possible but it just may be the logic circuit in there that is causing the delay and it still may not sync up. Worth a try though.

    It's a hardware issue. I have Alpharex Luxx headlights and some ebay sequential mirror lights. They are in sync. I didn't do anything to get them in sync.

    I do have my stock rear signals, so it's possible your aftermarket ones are maybe causing an issue. Try plugging in your turn signal bulb in the rear to see what happens to the front.

    I just got both alpharex luxx headlights and taillights and I am having the same issue with the front and back sequential turn signals not in sync. Have you figured this out?

    I know. I know.....it's a 3rd gen. :p
    For sequence purposes.
    The taillight, side mirror and sequential under the headlight are all aftermarket. (and all different brands.)

    Nothing extra was done to install.
