      Mine are yellow in front and red in back. Running daytime running lights all the way around for additional safety.

        I have kept the amber color all the way around on both of my current bikes but I have used red signals in back when I had a module to convert the rear signals to also act as brake lights. In Michigan, and probably most states, any light acting as a brake signal MUST be red so conversions to red signals gained a lot of popularity. I remain "Old School" in my thinking that amber shows up better as a turn signal.

                Amber all the way around for me. Got lots of brake lights already without mangling my turn signals with the lights on the Vetter trunk. And the replacement lights I put in the replace the originals in the trunk are at least twice at bright as the originals easily. Plus everything is new wire not, not a single scrap of original wire involved in the trunk wiring now, this is a good thing I think .
