Title: SEQUENTIAL tail lights in a 65 GS!
Post by: wheelz on December 05, 2014, 11:38:53 AM

Guys....  I am wondering if anyone has found a 'kit' or knows someone who can build a"sequential" 65 tail light PLUG AND PLAY UNIT?   :dontknow:

I know Bobby Slasser has one on his car and I tried to reach him with no luck.   :help:  Any hepp would be much appreciated!

Years ago JC Whitney used to sell that kit. They called it the Thunderbird tail light look. Now that the new Mustangs have it someone may be selling it again. I doubt if it is plug and play but it would be simple to do. the inboard sockets would need to be changed to double element ones. Good luck1
