A vehicle winglet (10)(e.g., sideview mirror, camera or radar assembly, etc.) is provided with sequential illumination of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) (60,62,64,66,100). A light guide (68) is connected to and covers the LEDs (60,62,64,66,100). The light guide (68) is made of a translucent material and is configured to guide light illuminated by the LEDs (60,62,64,66,100) and transfer the light out of the light guide (68). The light guide (68) includes a plurality of light guide towers (70,72,74,76) extending therefrom. Each light guide tower (70,72,74,76) is aligned with a respective one of the LEDs (60,62,64,66). In some embodiments, a plurality of collimators (80,82,84,86) are provided, with each collimator (80,82,84,86) aligned with a respective one of the LEDs (60,62,64,66) and with a respective one of the light guide towers (70,72,74,76) to redirect the light illuminated from the respective LED (60,62,64,66) into the respective light guide tower (70,72,74,76).
