Note to owners: autothing.com totally and utterly loves this product! Next to our own Mustang Decals (we couldn't help it), this is what we consider to be the BEST after-market accessory for Mustangs, whether you own the 1994 or 1999 generations. Read what we think of this awesome upgrade below and then go buy it like we did!

So, the pictures you've seen so far have got you intrigued, eh? Well, when we first saw these unbelievably cool things on a 94' generation Cobra here in Roselle- our home town just outside Chicago- we made sure to pull the classic "not so subtle" lane-change maneuver just because our eyes were transfixed on this Cobra's taillights and we really wanted to see more of this apparent magic happen (we should note he changed lanes right in front of us, meaning he wanted us to see it- the show off).

So we followed to till we got to the end of the highway, at which point we encountered a 2-way intersection, meaning he just had to use his sweet looking turn signals. He did of course use them and we made sure to immediately find out how these things work, where the heck he got them and how he installed them on his Cobra...

Though we recommend you visit www.sequentialtaillights.com to read all the official explanations, we will give the autothing.com version of their great info!

Basically, your Mustang has the neatest looking taillights of any vehicle out on the roads today. The three red vertical taillight bars make Mustangs visible from any distance, which is perfect if you want to play catch-up when you see one ahead of you (presuming you own one as well, of course!) We do it and see it all the time- other Mustang owners always and "innocently" gain just enough speed to get near our Stang's when we drive around, but what can we say?- it simply rocks to drive around with a bunch of other Ford Mustangs! (Doing this causes what we describe as "Cheerleader Syndrome" lol, where you can make non-Mustang drivers want to follow a group of Mustangs just because the appearance of seeing a couple of them driving next to each other looks so damn cool).

As for the exclusively-Mustang sequential taillights, they work [like the animated images show] whenever you do one of two things: apply your brakes or use your turn signals. Immediately below you'll find our factoid list that tells/shows you how the sequential taillights react when you do certain things...

>> When you turn left (for example) and use your turn signal while the exterior lights of your Mustang are off, this is how the turn signal explodes:

>> When you brake while the exterior lights of your Mustang are off, this is how each of the rear taillights reacts (picture repeats every few seconds for this demo, but the brakes will stay on once pressed and not explode again). Note that the LED brake light on your trunk lid instantaneously lights up as per the night shot:

>> Here's that night shot we just mentioned... When you brake while the exterior lights of your Mustang are on, this is how each of the rear taillights reacts (picture repeats every few seconds for this demo, but the brakes will stay on once pressed and not explode again). Note that the LED brake light on your trunk lid instantaneously lights up when the brake pedal is activated:

>> When using the turn signal while holding the brakes, the turn signal in-use will still have the explode effect

Other than the fact that an ATS Sequential Taillight Kit will make the best looking taillights look even better, let us note that this kit is totally legal! As per their Web site, there are no states in the US that prohibit use of sequential taillights, especially since the turn signals and brakes work as normal, so you have nothing to worry about there!

The kit installs in about an hour and a half (if you have experience in cutting wires and using a wrench, lol) and you will definitely have a big smile when you see your Pony with the new taillights in action- we promise!

ATS Sequential Taillight Kit will work with the following Mustang models:
--> ALL 1994-1998 Mustang, Mustang GT and Cobra models (except horizontal bars)
--> ALL 1999-2003 Mustang and Mustang GT models
--> ONLY the 2003 SVT Cobra (it lacks that integrated yellow Euro-lens in the signals)
--> Will NOT work with 1999-2002 SVT Cobra taillights (they use integrated Euro-lens)
