I like the mustard stain on the far outside better.

After staring at it for a while it really does seem to be the obvious choice.

Anyone bother to check the law?

There is a reason most cars have lights that wrap around the corner.  One bulb two directions, and it's cheeper to do that way.

However, being an older car I don't think we are bounded by that law, but think about it anyway.  The easyer it is to see that blinking light the fewer....

Alternately you could add a mid point turn signal and then I don't think it matters.

I have side marker lights.

If my car is on such an angle that you are not able to see a rear signal light then my car is:

a) doing a 360 spin

b) already performing a turn

c) about to be t-boned by your car.


Mid point turn signals are nice on a 60 foot Highway tractor, but a bit of bling on a 14 foot car.

Bling eh?  I think more usefull for blind spot drivers.

For all vehicles over 30 feet an additional midpoint turn signal is required. (ie. trailer)

I believe that's what I said.  If you are in a position coming up on a VW Golf where you cannot see the tail but can see the side flasher I suspect you are beside the driver.  If he turns toward you then you're screwed.

This is a Fiero we have here, not a tanker truck.  Short of a roof lightbar, regular lighting should be okay.

Corrected for clarity.... "This is MY PARKED Fiero we have here, not a tanker truck"
so that the taillight issue is moot! It's still hasn't moved! heheh!
