honestly, not worth renting, mine cost like $10 off amazon and works great

find someone who has one and will let you borrow it, honestly if you have a friendly garage nearby it wouldn't surprise me if they'd do it free

but it would be better to have one if your car is going into some sort of limp mode

Provided I can even get it to do that.

It isn't doing it reliably

Since I installed my SRI a few days ago, it has done it exactly twice.

And after specifically trying to get it to do so, it refuses to.

has it only done it since the sri?

Nope. It's been doing this since I got the car

Would have turned me off from it but with my budget it was the best option lol

weird

A lot of shit on this car seems to be made out of rubber, so it seems to start getting eaten away after about 75k miles

Like the PCV valves.

Both rubber

And the engine has a habit of eating them. Literally they get ingested into the intake and eaten

Pick up the metal universal PCV from AutoZone or wherever

I might just do that.

It's past the warranty date anyway

does your car have a timing belt?

I don't believe so.

A few people pointed it out in the comments, but this really isn't very accurate

In a country like America, which has massively open roads, the vast majority of it unlit at night with cars a far distance from each other, red turn signals are preferable

It's not ambiguous. I see blinky from right hand side, I know it's turning right. Easy peasy.

Exactly

From a long distance, a hybrid brake/signal light is far safer

Hell, I've seen practically *white* signals from 'yellow' lamps (Lookin at you Honda/Acura)

I've been thrown off more than once by cars with yellow turn signals.

I literally could not see them because the car was braking

well that's weird, because I've never had that problem

Some cars are worse about it than others. Also depends on conditions, etc.

well yeah, hence it seems like a rather circumstantional issue

I've been thrown off by cars with 'blinking brake lights' in the middle of the day. Never understood the sense of having the indicator embedded in the brake light / using the same colour

I think all the brake lights blinking when the pedal pressure is high (indicating hard braking) would be useful, especially on the interstate

yeah, been thinking that for a decade or so

the human eye catches blinking lights better than a light going from 'off' to 'on' just once

I've seen them start to show up on higher-end cars

brake lights should blink rapidly and indicators should cycle in the direction the person wants to turn (eg four LEDs cycling left to right if turning right)

Although I'd hate to be the person who has to change an indicator in the future, though

I suppose you could offer them as a 'set' and if they become more ubiquitous then the price different wouldn't be that much in the end

But I suspect each and every car company would have their own setup, which would mean the customer is even more tied to dealer service centres to get 'simple' things like a mere light change done

You can do it with aftermarket replacement relays. They already have them for emergency vehicles

Fucking Japan....
