Sequential turn signal for the reflector strip?

[Transmetal]

I'm entertaining trying to put a red led strip in the middle section of the original style lamps.

That's one reason I hated the 18-21 style tails. Looks like it should be a brake light in the middle but it's nothing. Looks really bad to me. Not sure why they just didn't do two separate lights without the red bar in the middle. Probably woulda kept my original ones then.

Reviving this thread.
I looked into doing this retrofit, meaning ordering the sequential signal light assembly for my 2023 Stinger.
I contacted the company that supposedly sells these things, and got some bad vibes from my contact.
The Company I contacted was located in Slovania, and the guy I made contact with wants me to send him money, in euros to his paypal account, with no assurance that I would get any kind of product.
In fact his exact words were:
"Sent you a paypal invoice in euros as I need some euros on my paypal so I would appreciate if you could pay there.
Not demanding this, but would be glad if you could do me a little favour."
A little favour? That's a huge red flag.
Obviously I'm not sending this guy any money, so my question to the group is: Where can I buy these taillights?
Thankyou.

Well, that may be, but that is the company I contacted (they are based in Slovania). via email.
The guy that responded to my enquirers was very aggressive.
He wrote up an "invoice" and sent it to me telling me he needed to get the money via PayPal (I quoted his exact words in my previous post.)
When someone asks for a PayPal transfer because he needs the money in his account, and wants me to send it as a "favour", then that puts up a huge red flag.
I said if I was going to buy the lights, I'd do it via the website and put it in the cart. He said that wasn't necessary and that I should just send the money via PayPal.
I shut it down after that. No way am I doing that, and I told him not to respond to my last email. We are done here.
That is why I am asking this forum if there is another seller out there.

update: I checked eBay. There is a company based in South Korea that sells the same OEM sequential signal tail lights.
I'll probably go with them instead.

Wow, the Mrs never had any issues dealing with them and she kinda sucks ordering online. Whoever you do go with, the lights are fantastic! Can't imagine having a 2022+ that has the terrible stock non sequential unit.

I got another reply via email from the guy representing this vendor.
I guess I pissed him off by not agreeing to send him money via PayPal without a proper order or invoice.
I get the feeling now that even if I had ordered via their portal, they might just play games with me. Just a hunch.
Anyway, I found a vendor in South Korea that sells the same OEM tail lights.
I ordered them through eBay. They are supposed to be here before Christmas.

At least your's should be a lot easier to install then mine were, seeing as I have a 2020. Messing with that middle piece was not cool. It's also weird how the turn signals are connected to the top body trim pieces. So you'll have to remove the ones on your car and reinstall them on the turn signals without breaking them hopefully.
