On some of the older cars...I believe maybe some of the Impalas and Mustangs from the 60's had them, but I'm not positive. Anyway, with sequential taillights if you have your turn signal on, one section of the signal will light up at a time. Consider the old Impalas which had 3 round lights on each side. If you had these kind of lights on one of these cars and you were turning right, the first round light (closest to the license plate) would light up (and stay lit), then the middle one, then the far right one and then it would start over again. I think the '05 Mustangs are going to have this.

I don't know that they would look that great on a TA though, since the taillight assembly is one piece...it's not broken up into sections like the other taillights that have been mentioned.

I've had them for about a year. Got them off Ebay for $100. Looks awesome especially at night & when you're turning on the flashers after you've smoked someone.

The only factory cars I know of that came with them were Shelby's. I think it was the '67-'70s only. And it may be only the '67-8s, can't remember for sure.
