American manufacturing don’t want to have to change anything in their production lines so most American cars have only a red taillight that flashes the same bulk for brakes and turn signal.
It is lazy and unsafe but it would probably cost a few pennies to have an orange turn signal light so it is more profit not to do it.
I’ve read that it used to be done on purpose to prevent models meant for US to be sold in other parts of the world, and the other way around.
Conversions are not straightforward since on US models there’s a single wire that goes to a single bulb and carries both the brake (steady) and turn (blink) signals, while in other places there’s a distinct turn bulb with it’s own wire.
All the more reason it should be illegal! It is in other parts of the world.
