Default Custom Led tails for 2nd gen GS a few question??

Hello All,

I have recently bought some new tails from (yja)
the quality of these is top notch, they have opened the tails and placed new boards with carbon fiber and painted the insides black with some sparkle in the paint,
my question is does anyone run chasing or dancing Led relays ( control box)
i was wondering how it was hooked up to run the lights in a normal mode or in the chasing features..

I can source the relay control box from the vendor i bought them for but honestly do you think its worth the extra 20 000 yen?
so like $230 ish
here's a few pics of the tails i bought and a video of the chasing feature.






here's the video of the chasing turn signals

thanks for the input

That's really cool. So can you choose a single blinker mode instead of the random one?

yea sorry about that, yes they are sourced from japan auctions,
I am just waiting back from the seller to see how much of a job it is to install the relay( hopefully nothing to do with the circuit boards) I can find more but they are not cheap.

From what i understand with the relay installed you can have normal blinkers or switch them to the 40 demo's on the relay

I didn't think you could open up the rears? Can you tell if they have cut them open?

the tails have been opened up by using a ultrasonic cutter, just around the edges then resealed up, you can see where they have been opened up but they look mint resealed up
