silly observation

I've noticed that viewing the blinkers(turn signals) on the rear of the TL from another vehicle is very easy to miss. Its just the very sides of the rear light assembly. In todays day and age, most cars are getting really fancy using LED lights in side views, and others just making vere noticeable turn signal lights. I know the ones on the Devilles are extraordinary, its like 1000 LED lights the size of a shoe print.

I just thought the TL's was surprisingly low key and nonchalante, its so easy to miss it. I know this this is a moot point, because nobody uses their blinkers anymore, and if they do, it's a one blink after they are already in the new lane

I noticed that too, that the turn signals are at the very end and are not very bright. Acura didn't think out the light engineering very well. The same thing happens when using the keyfob to lock or unlock the doors; in bright sunlight you cannot see the lights blink. Luckily, the brake lights are bright and easily seen.

I noticed this for the first time this morning - I was behind that Black TL again - ..How you doin'! Both car and driver are lookin fine...

Anyway, I don't know if it caught my eye that it was so small and easily missed or if it caught my eye that one was actually being used!
