Sequential Stock Tailights?

Does anyone know where I can find sequential stock tailights? They look super cool in this video:

I'm not completely convinced those are sequential, but you'd have to find someone who does custom work, and I don't feel like googling for you

It would help if that guy knew how to film something properly....can't see a damn thing worthwhile on that video (especially since it's all about his exhaust sound)

He somehow managed to film the back of his car poorly. I mean just start far back so the whole car is in frame and then walk up to the point of interest

Not the same thing, but potentially nicer, FT86SF has been selling a sequential kit for the red (not amber) section of the original stock taillights for a little while, but not much chatter about it... here:

Post a link otherwise you're talking out of your ass. Diode Dynamics doesn't have sequential taillights for anything but Mustangs as far as I've ever seen.

I've been toying with the idea of adding switchback sequential LED tubes (red-amber) to the OEM tails. Mainly because the tails don't match the front so well on the BRZ (missing the swooping, high-end look of the boomerangs).

The main things keeping me from picking up this project:

1) The headlight boomerangs are "ribbed" plastic
2) The headlight boomerangs aren't switchback sequential turn signals.

DiodeDynamics can fix the switchback problem, but not the sequential or ribbed look problem. I could go with full replacement of the front boomerangs with the same type of LED strips (except white/amber), but then I'm spending hours and money on something pretty minimal.

Here are some of the products I've looked at:

Those look awful..... sequential taillights looked horrible on the mustang, and this vehicle doesn't help its aesthetics.

I'd say that a car's lights - from drls to headlamps - play a huge role in how it looks, especially at night

that's a better vid. my guess is that op would have to email lots of shops with that video asking if they can do that for him
