Turn Signals

[[stealth]]

Now on most cars.. these are/glow amber at night.. but are red ones legal in Australia also? Im sure some model cars have non amber turn signals?

[Q_ball]

indicator lights MUST be orange - otherwise they can defect u...well thats in NSW n e ways

hmm.. hopefulli that aint the case here in SA... but dont some cars.. just have red signals.. with no amber present at all?

You're right. But I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere official that states if the car comes with red turn signals standard, that's okay. But you can't change the colour of your turn signals from orange to anything else.

if you use green globes in the red lights it comes up orange. that way they do "blink" amber.

SA is amber as well fellas

I know a few people that found out the hard way

hopefulli wot I have in mind turns out ok then :)

[bigteethygrin]

some older cars are allowed to dive with non orange indicators..

yeah I guess older cars can get away with it.. but I doubt the more recent model cars can tho... unless factory spec

just to be a smart ass :o, it doesnt have to be for LHD cars. old school american cars dont use amber blinkers, instead they use the tail light to blinker.

edit: i should mention that my accord has clear blinkers all around (no amber bulbs) and i havent got pulled over once. its been 3 years now. have you guys noticed some model ford falcons (the ghia ones) have clear rear blinkers? also some euro cars have it as OEM...

I have always wondered why it's so bloody important for them to be amber? why not blue or green or maybe even pink? how I see it is if the shit blinks no mater what it is anber or pink then legal it shall be! bloody laws..... aarrrrggggg NOTE: I say this coz I know of people who have been defected for really stupid shit!

[Vivski]

I'm all for one colour for all indicators. It's much easier to identify someone with their indicator on at a glace. I also want a blue light at the back for when the driver has the clutch in. But with all the autos on the road, it doesn't really matter. Not really a safety thing like the indicators are.

why u feel the need for a clutch light man?
