[FC] Sequential Tail lights

[David C. Herrin III]

In  1974 I thought about taking the "cove" area of a Late and making a 
single  red lens -  with required DOT tail, brake lights,  with sequential 
turn signals
and the ability to send  varied  text messages to the SoCal tailgaters.
With today's technology this would be so much easier
but LEDs do not penetrate any distance nor visual angles
- examine  modern traffic signals which operate at higher voltages.

I have several Electrical Engineers available
but doubt marketability of this type of product plus DOT compliance.
Legal - think about aftermarket directional signals built into outside rear 
view mirrors.
