Yellow/amber rear turn indicators?

[compu85]

I do know the amber turn signal will be on the outer / body mounted fixtures on the ECE spec cars... look at the labels near the plug and it lists the wattage for the not installed in USA turn signal. The trunk mounted fixtures will have a rear fog light, inboard of the reverse light. This is also noted on the label molded into the plastic.

I'd love to put a set of euro amber signal lights on our 3, assuming the design looks good. We'll have to wait and see!

A while back someone posted a picture of a Model 3 being driven near Tesla manufacturing in Netherlands, and you could see some different reflector thing in the lower rear bumper area.

Unfortunately they weren't using the blinkers, so we didn't get to see what those looked like.
But it does look like they have EU test cars, so may be just a matter of time before someone spots the EU blinkers in action.

probably rear fog light

Could be I suppose - but my money is still on the rear fog being inboard of the reverse light. The turn signals will have to be in the outer fixtures, they can't be on a movable piece of bodywork like the trunk lid.

I just noticed yesterday that Model X has amber blinkers - having an odd sense of blinker envy...

I remember a decade ago during the Fast & Furious rice rocket craze when it was popular to remove any hint of amber and replace with white/smoke/red lights. Even reflectors.

I think the term for this version is 'Ambiguous Tail Lights'.

thats a rear foglight. Seems to be a bit of a loveless install/look though.
Also in Europe turn signals have to be amber, not red, for obvious reasons.

...and then there's the aholes who don't use their turn signals. Not even if they're stopped at a red light, turning left. Then when the light turns green, they're blocking traffic. If they had their turn signals on, I could have switched lanes driving up, but now I'm blocked by other cars.

I wish the 3 had amber turn signals. The existing ones are pretty bright but I feel like the brake/turn light is kinda small...

If someone can procure some, I will buy!!

This brings me back to when I was waiting for my 2000 BMW 323i. Factory front and rear turn signals were amber plastic with white bulbs. Many people on the bimmer.org board wanted the "European" look of clear plastic lenses (with yellow bulbs). I had ordered a (farily rare) pair of front clears from a dealer down south and had them about a month before getting the car.

I'd bet they'll need some reprogramming. I remember people getting euro taillights for their VW Golfs and those would need some coding to function properly.

Disappointing. Tiny and pretty narrow viewing angle.

I agree, what’s the deal with only a small portion of the “light” actually illuminating? The US version (which I always thought were pretty small) looks great compared to these.
