sequential tail lights

Hey everyone i was hoping someone can help me here. I want to mae something that will allow me to flash my tail lights sequentially for the blinkers, and then for the brakes have them flash out and stay steady,i have 3 lamps to light in order example. blinker: 1-2-3 reset 1-2-3... Brakes: 1-12-123-steady. I have general electronics knowledge and i assume something could be made using a 555 timer, any help would be GREAT. i would assume the one circuit for the brake light would work because the blinker goes on-off-on-off which would start the circuit then turn it off, start, off, but idk. something more smooth would be better but that might work so basically i need what one person in this old thread was going to create but never did https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp~TID~19301~PN~0~TPN~1

I installed a kit similar to this one in our 05 Mustang. Works great! http:////Sequential-Tail-Light-kit-96-05-Mustang-GT-Cobra_W0QQitemZ260339403033QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item260339403033&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=65%3A2|39%3A1|240%3A1318

Ebay links do not work here.

just be aware unless your car is one of the old 60's T-birds OEM equipped with them (or model year 63 or earlier I think), they are completely illegal and a citation waiting to happen92 BMW 525iT

Since when are sequential turn signal illegal?

oh sincethe federal government made them illegal... late 60's. Go read FMVSS 108 and it will give the date it was changed.92 BMW 525iT

Well someone better tell Ford about the law, since they are using sequential turn signals on the 2010 Mustang.

That was revised in 2004. Have you read it since then? Nothing in there prohibits sequential turn signals as long as they don't "impair the effectiveness of lighting equipment required by this standard".

no i havent read it since then. not a ricer so i don't have to worry about lighting violations92 BMW 525iT
