There's no law in the U.S. that says the turn signals have to be amber....while overseas it's mandatory that they are. Manufactures that sell cars overseas and in the states find it easier to have them amber and only make one lense for both here and there.
And because of that the CHEAP SOBs running the US Auto Industry into the ground FINALLY had to spring for extra wires and light bulbs to separate the Brake Lights from the Turn Signals....

IMAO the Amber 'eurospec' is just one more example of how backwards US automotive lighting standards have been, (IE: Requiring pathetic sealed beam headlights while the rest of the world had high-quality halogens)
AND REMAIN: Canadian market PT Cruisers have the mandatory daytime running lights, but DC doesn't even offer it as an option on US market PTs, we also cannot get those nifty side marker lights in the US.
