All American spec cars from golfs to Bugatti have an indicator on the bumper... it also has to be orange... no indicators on mirrors aswell...

Very odd, the whole world doesnt mind, cept the Americans...

The Americans have always had weird ideas about lights. In the 70's all of the "shaped" headlights on Mercedes, for example had to be replaced with twin round ones...the Yanks tend to march to the sound of their own drum...

Most if not all American cars have two back lights. A large red light (which acts as a head light, brake light and indicator) and a reverse light. Pretty random :/
