A lot of japanese and Euro model vehicles do have taillights available with the amber signal if you so desire. You'll just have to pay for them and install them yourself.
I would never buy a car with red turn signals. PERIOD!!
if you are obsessed with this so much that even after 5 years you had to make another account to just to revive this thread it's very clear you are very serious about it.
Interesting to read all the thoughts about colors of turn signals, if a light is single or multi function. Problem is that there are a lot of drivers that don't know their vehicle is capable of showing their turn intentions or the purpose of that little stick on the left side of the steering wheel.
2. US and Canada allow only red or amber rear turn signals, and only amber in front.
3. US and Canada require a MINIMUM SURFACE AREA for rear turn signals.
Thomas Tetzlaff, spokesman for Volkswagen Canada.
“The colour of the turn signals on vehicles in Europe is legislated to be amber. In North America, there is no such legislation, but there are different regulations about the minimal surface area of the blinkers. In many cases, you will notice manufacturers, including us, using brake lights as their turn signals in order to comply with the North American regulations.”
BMW Canada spokesman Robert Dexter.
“Utilizing a red signal allows us to meet the surface area requirement without a redesign of the basic structure of the taillamp assembly, which, as you can imagine, would be a costly endeavour. The red signal option offers a practical solution which fully meets considerations of design and production costs.”

My OEM Silverado had amber's, and I quickly replaced the taillights with the all red version. Amber just looks ugly.
