Are ads allowed here now?
@Dleslie212 That’s not an ad.. I installed these on my truck and wanted to pass along the information for anyone who’d like to do the conversion. It’s what we do here on GMSB. We share info and product information , why would you think it’s an ad?

For the trucks, I've been buying United Pacific.

For my other cars, I use digitaled in Argentina. They'll make them for any application relatively inexpensive and any color sequential, etc

Curious, do they give you the option for sequential lights? I need to replace my JUNK United Pacific lights but I love the sequential function and have had a hard time finding a set or conversion kit that has that function

They are pretty awesome in function. It's a shame they're absolute JUNK lights

Wow, I hadn't heard any issues with them. I bought a couple sets as well as parklights when they were on sale or show specials but they are all sitting new in the boxes.

C10 parts have quite a wide manufacturing base so I've never asked but Digitaled in Argentina might build them for you. I can reach out if interested. He's fairly inexpensive and will build them anyway you want. He's done a bunch of lights for me and my friends. On my '63 Nova, he built tailights w/ out reverse lights and made them light up how I wanted. For my front parklights, normally all amber, he did white for running and amber sequential for turn signals. I think it was only $80 for the parklights shipped where standard LED sold in US were over $125 w/ no custom features. They don't have the fit/ finish of a commercially produced product but they are hidden inside housings so not a big deal to me. I saw a set on a Corvette in Hot Rod recently so they go in some big build cars. There is definitely a language barrier but he's a friend of a friend so it helps.

You can see some of his work...

***edit, as of last week, looks like he makes sequential for our trucks. Check his youtube.

I wanted to go this route but after all the $$$ I put into it I cheaped out and left the regular lights on mine.

Ooooo good to know. I've seen some of his stuff and it seems like good stuff! When I get ready to pull the trigger, I'll give you a shout if you don't mind. My UP's work just fine right now even though they're busted, I taped them up with clear packing tape :rotflmao:Spending has been aimed at the front suspension for the time being

I'm going to probably order a set for my C30 soon. What's nice about him as he will build it anyway you want. The hard part is the language barrier. There is a guy in the Nova club that has become good friends with him so he goes down to Argentina about every 18 months and if I can't explain something, he helps.
