Gotcha. That's what I figured.

In Texas the law says "IF installed, turn signals SHOULD be as far apart
as PRACTICAL." In other words, if ya got 'em, you might want to make
sure they actually do something. If not, it's cool ;) However, if
they're installed they have to function.

ACK! $25 for a 3 LED 1157 replacement? Ouch. The 12 LED versions go for
about $10/pair around here. I'd really like to do away with the pair of
1157 incandescents in the tail light, but I can only find red. That
wouldn't be a problem except that the license plate is lit by a clear
window in the bottom of the tail light, so the bulbs have to be white. I
suppose I could move the plate (which I'm going to do, actually) and
light it with some high intensity white LEDs in cool little billet
holders, though :)
