I prefer the Euro LCI taillight, as it offers an Amber turn signal instead of red (which won't always be seen as a turn signal by SOME drivers!)

Isnt regular tailight has amber turn signal as well?

Yes, if you are referring to the pre LCI taillights.

I have Euro LCI tails because amber is the color of my energy.

same....AFAIK, it's just the amber vs. red blinker/flash...even the 4 LED's on the side are red on both I think...might be wrong about those tho...

No. The only difference is the US version has Red turn indicators, Euro has Amber.

Yea... if it's actually legal to do white turn signals for rears, I probably would, lol. Problem is, it's not, and likely to be too blinding.
