I'm creating this poll because there seems to be people who like and dislike the startup sequence function on some of the aftermarket tail lights. I'm curious about the majority in the 6th Gen community and why you like it or dislike.

The Aspire/Rave/Yota Xpedition tails all seem to be the same, just branded differently. The startup sequence is too long for me personally. If it ended at the 3 second mark, when the outer edge is fully illuminated, I would be cool with that. But the extra 7 seconds of the "knocking" animation would make me turn it off completely.

The AlphaRex tails appear to have a shorter, simpler startup sequence. At least from what I can see on their IG posts.

I'm not a fan of the startup sequence. Too flashy.
The new AlphaRex lights look cool but I'm happy with my stealth lights plus they are half the price.
I agree they are likely all the same source company regardless of which supplier.

I don’t have personal experience, other than what I’ve seen on social media. From what I’ve seen, I’m with several others, I don’t like the time lapse, takes to long…. I’m not at some rave where the lights need to flash, and do all these things for 20mins. Lol.

However, some do look cool though.

To qualify "source company" was referring to the Stealth tail lights. Obviously AlphaRex is a separate manufacturer.
