by Toby Keith
Verses roll steady and proud, each chorus steps the car up brighter, and the show genuinely builds, finishing wider than anywhere else in its run. That final chorus lands like a firework finale, which is exactly when to run it on the fourth of July. The cues sit far enough apart to read as deliberate rather than frantic, tail-led with the signature bar behind, and the brightness holds real reserve for the last minute. Three minutes and fourteen seconds, saving its biggest moment for the end.
How this one is choreographed
The choreography is deliberately unhurried: the lights re-fire about 0.6 times a second, so cues land as separate moments rather than a blur. It builds. The car runs about 25% of its lights through the opening third and finishes near 38%, so the biggest picture is the one you end on. If you are filming, the fullest ten seconds start at 1:00, when about 40% of the car is lit at once. Most of the work falls on the tail lights, re-firing about 0.7 times a second, with the signature light bar and daytime running lights answering back at 0.6. The work is split close to evenly between the two ends, 54% front to 46% rear, so it plays from either end, or side-on from the curb. The quietest part of the car is the side markers, at about 0.4 re-fires a second. It runs 3:14 and averages 71 of 255 across the light channels, a mid-brightness show, with real headroom kept in reserve for the peaks. About 16% of the light values sit at a partial level, so hits are punctuated by fades rather than being pure on and off. It never goes completely dark for long: the longest gap is 0.7 of a second, just before the close.

Get it for your Tesla
This show downloads for every Tesla: Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck. Preview it on your model with the View-on picker above, add it to your library, and it re-tailors to your car's lights automatically.
How to play it on your car
- Open the show above and add it to your library (remix it in the builder first if you want).
- Add your own copy of the song: an MP3/WAV you own. We distribute only the light pattern, never audio.
- Export the
.fseqbuilt for your model, then place your song next to it (or let the one-click USB writer do both). - Put both files in a
LightShowfolder on a USB drive. Or skip the manual steps: in Chrome/Edge, click 🔌 Write it to my USB drive for me right after exporting and we do it all, verified byte-for-byte. Then plug in and start it from Toybox → Light Show. Full walkthrough in the setup guide.
Car says Light Show instead of Custom Light Show, or the drive is not detected at all? That is the USB format, the folder name, or filenames that do not match. If it plays but drifts out of time, that is the audio sample rate. Fix both here.
