Sequential tail lights
Brumby:
The CorsoMotion module is a pre-built unit that will do what you want. Makes sense to go with that, especially at the price.
A car mod forum would have likely got you there more quickly - but, hey, we live and learn.
Wiring will be fun - but that was going to be the case anyhow. Have fun - and if there is anything down the road that you might want to ask of us ... you are welcome to bring it here.

Had a '67 390 Mercury Cougar with sequential tail lights.
They were mechanical..a motor physically driving a cam/contact switches.
They were slower in the winter (-30), and eventually got slower as the motor ( not to mention the bad contacts) died.
They do sell replacements but not cheap!
Thanks for reminding me of my old beast! ;-)

Had a girlfriend who had a '67 Cougar. Loved those sequential tail lights and that body style.

Compared to the mechanical / environmental challenges of building a tail light assy that is suitably water,dust and vibration resistant, and has suitable brightness (esp in bright sunlight, but not be dazzling at night) and viewing angle the actual business of sorting out the flashing order, pattern and timing is trivial!!!
(you'd be mad (imo) to do not go digital with a suitable small micro, a suitable driver IC etc)
(and as it's on a car, you need to account for things like load dump etc too)
