I'm guessing you're military, just moved here from Germany? Red turn signals may be illegal overseas, but there are tons of cars with them here in the states. It's legal in all 50 states. If you prefer an amber turn signal, look into Blacklines tail lights or Euro tail lights -- both are OEM.

Only amber is legal -- or clear, with an amber bulb. See: http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp...19VAC30-70-190
19 Virginia Administrative Code 30-70-190. Signal device (intention to stop or turn), hazard lights, stop lamp. . . . D. Inspect for and reject if: . . . 8. Turn signal lens is not clear or amber to the front, or red or amber to the rear. Lens or bulb color has been altered or modified. If the turn signal lens is clear, then the bulb shall be amber.

Like Viriginia's going to do that.
If you're worried about your turn signals, just do what everybody else does: don't signal.

Any other questions about lighting? Whoops - sorry. You wanted to know what to say. How about: "Damn, it sure took you guys long to bust me." |

It doesn't make sense to me why manufacturers continue to make red turn signals just for the North American market when they can legally use amber. If they made it standard throughout the world the units would be cheaper, er, less expensive. And less expensive translates to more profit for them since you know damned well they aren't going to pass along the savings to the customer.
