    I’m about to purchase some LED turn signals from a trusted vendor but I’ve heard that the sequential signals, while cool looking, are not as visible to oncoming traffic. Just wondering how many people have tested this theory? I get it’s less constant light but wouldn’t the light pattern still be plenty safe?

    Well, it’s full output is on a fraction of the time so there is that... they do look cool

    A lot of vehicles have sequential from the factory now (mustangs are first to mind) so if they’re safe enough for Ford, they’re probably fine.

    I remember when I first saw a 60s era Mercury Cougar (the Mustang bodied one) with them, and though they were awesome!

    I installed some sequential mirror turn signals last week and i will say they are lots and lots brighter than the OEM ones. And the Pro comes with sequential turn signals in the front, and they are plenty bright

    Sequential has nothing to do with visibility. Lux output, optics, etc are what matters.
