There was. A company that made sequential led tail lights for tb GT. Itooks like that is no longer made.
Is there a source still out there that will make them?
If not, is someone out there sitting on an uninstalled kit they would sell?
Or is this a "you tube" upgrade?

I have a set I used on my GT long ago (sequential tail blinkerlights). Recently I cleaned up my old harnesses and set them apart. Found them today and took some pics for you.
Looks you could make your own set.

The thing they used is an Aromat 39260 AC powerrelay for 125/250V. One for each side.

It has 4 wires to splice in the Fiero harness:
1 to 12V+ (8amp fuse)
1 to the turnsignalwire
1 to the inner turnsignal light
1 to the outer turnsignal light (delayed)

My guess is that this relay used in a 12V DC car setup acts as a short delay switch. I have not looked into how it is wired at the relay.




Edit: There may be only one relay used because I have 2 wires labeled delay left and delay right. I am a bit confused about how it works for both sides. Anyway I took off the remainder of the tape and this is how it is wired at the relay:

So most of these were done with the Arduino controllers that were custom programmed. The file is available from one member on here for free but you would have to load the program into the Arduino board and do the actual wiring work.

I did contact Danyel.
I am learning alot. He is a lot of help.
Waiting to see a video clip of the GT tail lights.
I wish someone would make sequential leds again.
But information here has me thinking.
Would buy a system anyway, if offered.

Without going fancy, if you use drop-in LED bulbs for the innermost turn signal bulbs, while keeping incadescent bulbs for the outermost turn signal bulbs, that will create a sequential effect.

Love the video.
But that is Blacktop's setup. They are no longer doing that.
I should have been clearer. It is Danyel's led setup I would like to see.
This post has some really good info though. Maybe graft the sequential wiring to Danyel's ?
