The US DOT has apparently completely abandoned any headlight standards so sure, blue/green, fuchsia, whatever. Go for it.

Some of the turn signals are so awful now, I can't believe they were approved. I've seen cars with turn arrows pointing the opposite direction of the turn (Mini Cooper) and yesterday I saw a (Ford?) truck which animated its LED segments in the opposite direction of the turn.

Are they trying to entertain people into an accident?

I’ve noticed this too! I like the creativity with the Union Jack as the signal indicators, but it literally looks like an arrow pointed the wrong way

It’s bizarre to me that anyone would get confused by this. I can only imagine it’s a USA thing. Indicators flash on the side you’re turning towards. I’d never expect it to be an arrow pointing in any direction.

Who would? That's exactly why it's confusing. It shouldn't be an arrow and if it has to be, make it point the right way.

Poor choice. Much too close to skyline colors. Pink is still available. So is green.

I imagine pink is considered too close to red tail lights.
