While that's true for us that can easily tell the difference, the majority will probably just think it's a pre-LCI car. That's not exactly standing out.

In any case, to me, the red looks more modern. I can agree with the amber possibly being more visible... but the light is blinking!

I would only agree with that if you say Amber during the day, or when the turn signals are off. Since the LEDs are clear when off, it looks modern to me. Believe me, he wont look anything like Pre-LCI! Why do you think all us Pre-LCI guys want LCI lights???????

Its called LCI envy!!!

Is it blinking or is the driver tapping on the brakes? You'll have to watch the light a little closer to be sure. Amber is 100% turn, closer inspection not required

If you get red turn signals, I will drive up to Rhode Island, and pimp slap you.

And it takes at least two seconds to see the blink then figure out its the blinker... BUT thats only useful when the amber is on someone else's car...
Doesnt matter if its red purple blue or pink when its on MY car I am courteous enough not to slap on the blinker whenever the hell i feel like and only signal when i can change lanes and wont catch someone off guard... like those turning on their blinkers when others are in their blind spot and then leave them on for several miles waiting to change lanes...

Okay so I went with Euro Spec ones!

All that for pretty tail lights. I hate this car.
