If I were king; red in back, amber in front. That way one knows which direction the vehicle is oriented.
But it doesn’t explain when Americanized, those amber turn signals become red turn signalseuropean manufacturers do not like amber rear turn signals, they are simply forced by regulations to keep it around in euro and other markets.
they are undesirable in the same way as the american 4-corner marker lamps
they are forced by regulations to make them amber for the rest of the world.But it doesn’t explain when Americanized, those amber turn signals become red turn signals
I think turn signals are an option some people don't want to spend the extra bread onWhat are these "turn signals" you speak of? Blinking lights that indicate a driver's intention to turn or change lanes? Must be a new invention, I've never seen one in use.
I don't care what color they are as long as the driver actually uses them!
Totally agree.Amber is the best solution, but red would be more acceptable if the OEMs didn't use it as license to cheap out and cosolidate and distill three functions (tail/stop/signal) into a single light source. Some of the older Chrysler products, like the minvans, and pickups are notable examples, with a single red lense with a clear cutout, and two bulbs, one for reverse, and one for everything else. Having discrete sources for each function would at least reduce the risk of potential confustion, even if they're all the same color.
