Ive had them installed for about a month now and Ive noticed the last week or so that the right light moves faster than the other side... anyone else had this issue..... My left side moves like this and the right one moves TWICE as fast.. you think my bulbs are going out..?

On some makes the circuit is designed to blink fast when one bulb (front or back) is out on the same side. Not sure if our stangs do that.

Are these the CDC sequentials?

I'd call CDC - the sequential circuit is built into the harness and might be faulty

I have the someone’s from CDC.... And mine had the same problem..

And after having them switch out 3 times... Found it was the bulbs them self...
Over time the bulbs build up resistances.

Replaced all 6 six bulbs and it works great..
