Brightest Blinker

ezmaass · 02-11-2015, 10:52 PM

Have any of you guys noticed just how darn bright the blinkers are on this car? I'm not sure if there's any difference with the LED lighting package for the blinkers (didn't think so)... but I know they're redesigned for the LCI (eyebrow blinker).

I can literally fully illuminate street signs that are 500 feet away with my blinker. It's almost halfway embarrassing - it's so bright at intersections that other drivers are looking around to see who's car blinker is lighting up the signs across the street.

Have any of you guys noticed the same? Or do I have some freakishly bright blinkers!

I've noticed the reflections from street signs too, and I've got the pre-LCI headlights.

Maybe too much blinker fluid?! Try diluting with water...that might help?

That's actually one of my favorite parts of the car. I just LOVE LED's, especially the amber ones.

I've not really noticed this. I'll have check next time.

Ha - I think there was a Click and Clack episode where they convinced some young girl that she had to change her headlight fluid and that she had a separate transmission for reverse, etc.

I noticed this as well. The lighting on these cars is awesome.

Must have been priceless! Anywho...bright blinkers when sitting at an intersection does draw attention.

My father and brothers were just commenting on this last week as the front turn signals were illuminating the highway signs up on their overhead gantries. And I have a 2011.

I notice that recently too. I dont mind it. In NY, you need these kind of things for those drivers that likes to snooze on the left lane.
