Yellow/amber rear turn indicators?

[arnis]

True.
Good design: HUGE viewing angle and big enough area:

Note that reversing light nor rear fog has to be huge, but rather VERY strong (actual illumination, not shine).

OOOOOoooooohhhh.
Check this out. I think it means the tail lights are plug and play. No SW reprogramming needed to go between US/Euro?
Can someone in Europe help mass-order and ship them over to USA?

I will be your first "customer".

In the US there are rules about the minimum physical size (area) of the brake lights, not just brightness.

I've seen this mentioned before. I am in Canada, and our standards are largely harmonized with the US. But I've noticed a couple of new Lexus and Toyota models that have the smallest brake lights I've ever seen. About the size of a silver dollar. It's like looking at a laser pointer when they come on in front. Wonder what the actual minimum size is??? Could these Canadian Toyota products have different tail lights in Canada?

Interesting. Maybe Canada changed their regs or made a certain brightness level an optional choice vs size? In the US it is still 50cm2 per side.

Everybody, just tweet Elon Musk ONE SHORT TWEET:

"Everybody loves big amber turn signals! - those are proven to be safer".

Same in Canada... Table IV-a (page 112 or 121 in the PDF) shows 5000 mm2

Thanks for the link. But these Toyota models are very odd. I tried to find a Google image quickly, but couldn't. There is a reasonably sized red area on the tail light that serves as the running lights, but when the brakes are applied, it is this tiny little super bright "spot" near the outside edge that comes on. As I said, it is almost like a laser pointer. Surely someone here has seen these around.

Whats important is that you have proven that they are compatible with US wiring. Anyone in Europe can buy and bring them to the US for sale here. I'll take a pair from the first to import some.
