Something I'd like to see are taillights where the amber field of the turning signal is tinted white instead. The front turn signals are already white and there are clear side markers available as well as clear side turning indicators (for us Euro and Japanese dudes). This would form a nice unified look - all external indicators would be either red or white (although still amber when the turning indicator is flashed of course).
