RIP American Red Indicators.
« on: July 02, 2009, 05:42:07 pm »
Some American cars have red turn signal lamps, while others have an amber hue. Big deal, right ? The National Highway Traffic Safety Association thinks it is, after finding that amber lights are 5.3% more effective at preventing crashes than the red blinkers. NHTSA came to that conclusion after comparing crash data of vehicles that switched from one color to another.

it does look FAR better with those red tails...

I've fitted the export lights to my Saleen, and with it boing orange the little amber bits dont really notice, theyre not as obvious as the ones on yours
