Has anyone noticed that on modern Bentley Continentals, they have red LED tail lamps that turn amber for the blinkers. This does not impede brake function. Perhaps, this technology should be implemented on more cars.

Here's some information from Daniel Stern, North America's premier auto lighting expert:

I have a friend who absolutely won't buy the new C-Class I think it is because of the red blinkers.

Studies in Europe have shown yellow to be more visible than red, especially in poor visibility conditions.
Yellow is required for turn signals (front and rear) in Europe. In the USA, red or yellow is permissable for the rear turn signals. (Source: Bosch SAE Automotive Handbook, 7th edition (2007), English version.)
I prefer a yellow turn signal, because my brain processes that information slightly faster. There is no split-second indecision about whether a light is a turn signal or a brake light.

if theres anything to complain about, its the exterior lights that turn on at night on the new GM's. if anyone has noticed, the reverse lights turn on so u have no ****in clue if they are backing up or not!
