Tail Lights Operation
 
Has anybody seen or knows how the tail/stop/turn signal lights are going to operate? Since both lenses are red, I don't think it uses a separate turn signal bulb, although I've seen some cars use a red lens instead of using an amber lens. I would assume both lights will combine all three functions into one bulb. I should have been paying attention to the first episode of My Own Worst Enemy!

all 4 will illuminate when you hit the brakes, outer ones will flash with respective turn signal

+1. not that i've seen, but it makes perfect sense unless they're going like the vettes & blinking both.

Speaking of lights. Is it going to be possible to make the night lights(HID or whatever) to be switched with xenon after I buy it??

Here you go! Rear light operation, and much more.

You mean driving lights? Why would you want to switch out HIDs?

I have yet to see how the HID look's. And what does HID actually mean?

High-Intensity Discharge

They're brighter, cooler looking, and use less power than halogen

I understand. After looking at a comparison of both HID vs Xenon, HID looks much cooler. But isn't xenon in HID?

if you want to see how the production blinkers work then check out the new vid on the homepage shoes it pretty damn well

Not bad. I saw the refreshed mustang at the SF show last weekend and I have to admit, i have always liked the idea of sequential lights.

yay for both on each side blinking! add a small capacitor in-line with the outside light & voilą - sequentials!

Sometimes - It's one of the more common gasses found in HID bulbs. However, most car guys I know use xenon bulbs to describe brighter halogen-type bulbs like silverstars, etc... which are great bulbs, just not if you already have HIDs (top-o-da-line baby!)

I don't see how a resistor would make turns signal lights sequential.
