i would do a writeup on how to do that
but personally i think that would be ugly. there are some integs i see now and then that have that going on. i like blinker lights that are red anyways.
you know how some camaros (the old style) have turn signals where each light turns off and on in a sequence? and there are three of them i think? so it goes inside-middle inside-outside... what if you did that on a S5? that might look ugly but it is an interesting idea.

Actually that would be quite easy to do with a pair of relays, but if you drove around with you indicators on all the time people would just think your car's broken. Just like sleepy-eye headlights!

-TheAnalogKid-- THAT IS EXACTLY THE PICTURE I WAS TALKING ABOUT! Thanks man! I can now see though, that the orange light is a bit brighter than the regular running lights

I was thinking about the sequential turn signal too. It looks bitchin' on any car with a row of tail lights. What you need to do it is a pair of "dynamite sticks" from Tony D. Branda (Shelby and Mustang Supplier). I think that's what they're called, other people sell them too under different names. And don't ever let anybody say that the round tailights are stupid. Look at the '73 Charger, All Corvettes, and new Impalas, all with round tailights. As a matter of fact I have a '88 Turbocoupe T-bird and the lights are awesome on those things.

Man, i dont care what anyone thinks... S5Tails are just plain nice. I personally dont like the rectangle look of the S4...just too plain/outdated looking. (yes,.. i know that S5 are round and that every car and its mothers car has/had round tail lights from every era) BUT, the S5 lights have no black suround all over them. If the S4 lights didnt have the black outline all over the place, and were just like a solid peice of taillight plastic they might be ok. Am i making any sence?

I have actually been playing with an idea on the S4 lights. Replacing the black trim with tinted plastic that also replaces the lenses. Something that updates the look, but doesn't fall into the rusty boat trailer round lens look or Altenza look that you see on almost every car made for the last couple of years.
