I have a question. I read a lot about sequential tail lights and was wondering what exactly is it people tell me I should put them in but I have never understood what they are.

Thanks

Sequential tail lights flash the three elements of the tail light toward the outside of the car.

For instance, André's avatar:


For cars like the early classics, extra bulbs must be integrated to make this happen.

It's a completely hidden modification - the sequential LED panel fits inside the stock talilight bucket... MUCH brighter than the stock bulb. I've had mine for 6 months now. I'm using the Mustang Project ones... Nice product.

FYI, 67-68 Cougars had the sequential taillights as factory equipment.

Unhappy

yeah i have been planning on putting the sequential taillights on my car for awhile but just haven't really felt like paying $100+ for them... its a little much if you ask me! but i will probably do it anyways cause it another thing to catch the eye! and i have always commented on how cool it looks on the newer mustangs never seen them on a classic!

As did 1963 Thunderbirds and 1968-1970 Shelby Mustangs.

I have a real problem with the connections on the reproduction tail light harness and the original housing. I can't seem to get them "adjusted" to keep them connecting good. Do these lights connect differently??? I know that you can get non-sequential, which is what I'd probably do, and that they are brighter. But will they connect differntly so I don't always have one that doesn't work?????
