I don't think I'm missing the point. White is not a legal turn
signal color anywhere. Here's his post:

DS> That Table III is, like much of FMVSS108, tough to read. "2 red

Ergo - must have two amber turn signal lights in the front.

Ergo - all four turn signals must be amber outside of North America.

In the US, there are two options for passenger car turn signals.

1) Two amber in the front and two amber in the rear.
2) Two amber in the front and two red in the rear.
