Sequential tail lights
I put a set of Digi-tails in my 73 Camaro.

Anything like that out there for a Z06?
Digitails doesn't have them, but might get enough interest to do something.

They're cool as signals, but the way this is implemented, they're sequential brake lights too. That means a couple of things - one, they're slower to be seen, but more important, when you can only see one side of the car, a brake looks like signal.
If you watch new cars that do it properly, when the brake is applied, all lights come on immediately. That's what should happen, I argue.

Whatever man. I'd say different motions capture your attention faster.
But hey, if you don't like it, don't respoond.

What would you sequence them with on a Z06? There is only one section on the turn signal (amber). The other side is a back up light (white). The red sections are tail/brake and don't really lend themselves to be sequenced.

You could use both light housings on each side, with different color LED's
The video I posted of my 73 Camaro sequences through both housings with dual color LED's, including the where the back up lights were.
So do a clear housing, with yellow in both housings for turn signals and red for brake, with white for back up.
