Active lighting system mod?

OK, maybe I'm crazy, but I think it might look cool if the front orange turn signal lights would pulse in sequence when on, like the old-style Mustangs rear lights did. I'm not sure what/if I would change for the rears...

I can't Photoshop this, but imagine each of the LEDs blinking in sequence to indicate a turn.

What do you think?

I don't think it would look good on the W212s. I hated the looks with the mustangs doing that.

I just stared at mine with the turn signals on. Given the position of each LED, it'll look weird but nice thought!

Aside from the fact that such a mod would be a violation of the FMVSS, I'd strongly suggest staying away from any electrical mods until you are absolutely, positively, sure that your car has no glitches.
