theres actually a circuit that you should be able to find on a mod site somewhere, totally forgot where, but i know its out there. so if you want it too look just like it, they show you the basic design of a circuit that does almost exactly what you want. i think the only part thats not true to the original look is that their design has no fading of the lights really, so youd have to find a circuit or make one yourself that did that part. if you can solder, you should be able to do this. if you cant solder, im sure you can learn.

If you're handy with a soldering iron: http://www.bit-tech.net/article/82/. I guess that's the one AKA_RA was referring to.

Well I think the original light fading from knight rider was due to the fact that they used normal car lights. If you turn a car light off, it will still glow for a fraction of a second, thus creating an afterglow effect with the knight rider light...
