The wrinkle is that the front *parking lights* which are almost always
combined with the turn signals, may be white or amber. Other than very
recent cars, I can only think of one example of white parking lights
being used (VW Corrado) Also before 1963, in the US the front turn
signals were white as well, although the number of pre-1963 cars still
on the road is small at this point (I'm doing my part though <G>)
