Amber lights are an example of ACTIVE safety, since if prevents an accident from happening.

Default You guys crack me up! When the lenses were amber, everyone...

...bitched and bitched that they should be all red! Now that Audi made them red, it's bitch, bitch, bitch, that they should be amber! FWIW, all red is not new to Audi. Older Audi's had all red signal lenses. To me, it doesn't matter what color, as long as the signal lamp is seperate from the brake lamp.

I can just here it now: In a few years, Audi will go back to all red dash lighting because everyone complained about the white back-lighting. Then, the red lighting won't be good enough, and we'll all complain, wanting the white back-lighting back.

Is it just like us Americans to never accept anything? We always have to have something to whine about.

This is not intended to be an attack, BTW, because I do the same dman thing sometimes. I just think it's humerous that this is the way we live our lives. Now get on with your lives! :-)

Default Also Explorer, Camaro, Firebird, some Taurus...

at least Audi separates the turn signal flasher from the brake light, taillight, and rear fog light.
