Silly question, but are the rear blinkers red or orange? Probably red? Anyone have pics/video of them lit up?

From the photos you can just see an orange reflection inside the turn signal reflector housing. Lexus for the most part if not always has had orange rear turn signals on US models.

I wish the US would implement a law, like in Europe, that rear turn signals have to be orange, not orange or red.

I believe he is saying they should be a single colour (orange) not a choice of colours (orange or red).

In Europe rear turn signals must blink Orange. In the US rear turn signals can blink Orange or Red.

I'm referring to the color of the light that is produced when they blink, not the color of the rear turn signal light lens cover.

Why I wish the US would adopt that law, because it is easier to distinguish for the driver following behind.

Also wish the US would adopt the Euro laws for a side mounted turn signal, i.e fender mounted blinkers or turn signal mirrors. I see so many potential accidents when a person in the left lane and a person in the right line are trying to make lane changes into the center lane at the same time.

i like how the DRL LED's aren't integrated with the headlight housing

I just cannot stand the tail lights and how they droop down so far into the rear quarter panels.

The front end looks great but the rear doesn't do anything for me
