> This has been a five-year fight over the color of a piece of plastic.

In the EU the turn signals is mandated to be amber. In the US/CA, the turn signal can be either amber or red, but must be of a certain area. Other jurisdictions do not have an area regulation.

So OEMs simply make brake lights double as turn signals when they import vehicles.

If the non-US OEMs 'just' made bigger turn signals they wouldn't have to do this.
