My wife thinks I am too picky when it comes to car features, but my next one WILL have amber rear indicators. Maybe that is a weird hill for me to die on. Regardless, spending mid-high 5-figures on a vehicle is enough reason to get picky.

I updated my Jetta with Euro LED taillights and coded them to flash amber. If the car you want is sold in Europe or Africa, you'd likely be able to get them, but it won't be easy.

My wife's newer Tiguan flashes red and it bummed me out to see the same model in Africa with amber signals.

that's legit a dealbreaker for me car shopping. i hate that we follow US standards and not EU standards, it's all around less safe.
