Why do Ameritards allow red rear turn signals? Even worse when

>>16467701
Turn signal is fine.

The only reason people use brake lights is because they're automatic

I hate that my audi has red turn signals. I want yellow dammit!

stupid usa laws

>>16467701
Me personally? My taillights are super dim because I sneakily used a 18v bulb instead of a 12 so its just barely legal brightness mounted in my single pair of red oval lamps mounted way way way low on the bumper of my work truck. Even so, I engine brake intentionally and like to rapidly switch lanes, oh, and I drive around with a tow ball always inserted into my class-V hitch and my bumper is welded up diamond plate.

Honestly, the problem is my truck has a bad valve tick and I want a new one, and i live in an automatic-fault state.

What I don't understand is when a car that has amber turn signals changes to red turn signals when the car is facelifted. I'm looking at you BMW and Nissan.

>Even worse when the brake light bulbs is also the turn signal bulb.

That's easier to see and differentiate compared to even an amber turn signal right beside a red brake light, especially with a high mount third brake light. Some modern cars cut out the DRL's on the signaling side so the turn indicator is easier to see.

Are you retarded or something?

Jesus fuck it's not hard to figure out what a flashing red light means.

Tards are literally defending this right now.

because its cheaper

>Euro and Jap taillights:
Running+brake light, indicator light, reverse light
4 wires, 3 bulbs

>American taillights:
Running+brake/indicator light, reverse light
3 wires, 2 bulbs

Simpler and less weight :^)

>>16467701
I don't need to defend it because we have freedom, Ahmed.
Don't forget to get your TV liscense

Nobody in America uses turn signals anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

There's nothing saying you HAVE to use red. Yellow indicator lights are allowed, you just need a better car than a VAG.

Since we're complaining about lights, why the FUCK do reverse lights come on for GM shit when the driver isn't doing a goddamn thing? I can't tell if these assholes are about to back out of their spot and hit me or what. I haven't noticed this problem with anything but GM.

>>16468008
>reverse lights come on when car is in reverse

is it this big of a mystery?

>>16468008
Indicating that the remote door lock/unlock was pressed, remote hatch open, the driver farted, etc

>>16468022
I saw one today with the reverse lights on when the driver wasn't even in there.

>>16468025
But why? The reverse lights should only be on when the vehicle is in reverse, both so the driver can see where he's going (if he even bothers to look) and to warn people to get out of the way. Having it on for other reasons only creates confusion.

Why do yuropoors even come to this board? serious question.

>>16467701
the only thing that annoys me is the tail lights that have the individual LED's and top half of them are the brake, and the bottom half are the turn signal, but the brake light doesnt dim and the turn signals are just barely brighter than the brake lights, but instead of turning off and on, they just go dim to bright to dim

>>16467701
This has been pissing me off for so long. It's obnoxious, if there's a car following the one that's turning, I can't yell if his signal is on or if he's just tapping his breaks like half the retards here do.

Stupid. This country has the most stupid restrictions on certain things but allows dumb crap like this.

>>16468982
Kek'd

>>16470603
No, you're stupid. If someone is tapping their brakes both sides would flash, not just one. I can't see how people get confused by this.

>>16470811
They can't see both sides because they're following too closely.

>>16467701
YOU DO NOT UINDERSTAND
American automakers are cheap shits. They so fucking cheap that they economize an extra copper wire out of the harness. This way they can be cheap shits by making entire red brake light flash like an indicator.

>>16470811

For real, fuck GM for this. Its a "parking light" that's meant to illuminate the rear of the vehicle for groceries and other shit.
I absolutely hate it. Rolling through a parking lot and see them, stop because I assume they're backing out, and its just some fuck at the entrance of the store hitting the lock/unlock button.

As per red lights on the rear, it just looks better than amber in my opinion. Hell, I'd get rid of the amber on the front if it were technically legal. The yellow just doesnt look good to me.

>>16470911
>drive shitbox buick
>automatic headlights are better than newer cars
>use turn signal and the headlight magically shines brighter on that side so you can see where you're turning
What went wrong?

One thing I like about my VW is that is uses separate light bulbs for separate tail light functions, and the turn signals are amber.

I hated how my old ford taurus used the same bulb for both tail lights and brake lights and how they were red.

My sister's chevy malibu has the same crap going on. The turn signal bulb is actually a dual filament bulb which shares functions with the tail lights and gets brighter when activated.

I don't get it either.

It's especially dangerous when the car is neglected and has a bad or damaged bulb.

Why the fuck would you remove it? I don't. I sure as shit wouldn't store one in the cab. I bolt my triball in to deter theft.

If someone runs into you they'd waste their bumper cover and possibly their hood either way.
