What is Sequential Indicators (Dynamic Turn Signals)?

They use rows of LEDs. The sweeping movement makes the signal easier to notice. Regulations set how they must look and how fast they sweep. They have become common on many models, not only premium ones.

How it works

LED segments switch on one after another within each flash.

Why it matters for your car

LED indicator units are usually replaced as a complete lamp. Aftermarket lamps must be approved for road use.
