Default Incandescent sequential tail lights?

I remember seeing a kit somewhere that replaces the tail lights with three seperate bulbs and makes the turn signals sequential, but now that I am looking for them again all I can find are the LED ones. Does anyone know which vendor sells the incandescent kit?

There's a reason you're not finding them. The standard incandescent bulb creates a great deal of heat. And three of them together obviously triple that heat. The problem that presents is it melts the tail light lens. No joke... Three standard bulbs will melt a hole right into the red plastic lens. I'd be surprised if anyone still sells such a kit.

I have Mustangproject.com sequential leds on my 67 and they are fantastic. Each segment has 24 leds, they are brighter, run cooler and draw less current than the incandescent bulbs. Very simple to install. They go for $150 on eBay. I highly recommend them.

Hrmm, I like the look of incadescents much better than LEDs for this. I might put a couple of fans in there to keep them cool, thanks for letting me know that they get too hot for the lenses! If I do end up doing this I'll post pics in case anyone wants to see.

Tiny little fans inside each tail light housing? You're making it so much more difficult than it needs to be! Do what you llike; but I can guarantee you'll wind up with the LEDs. The three standard bulbs is a flawed design that's been tried and failed.
