Are the turn signals unusually bright?

2018 Civic Touring sedan owner. Admittedly, this is the newest car I've owned in about 8 years, but I've been driving a bunch of rental cars over the past year and I can't remember driving a car with turn signals that are so bright and reflective. If I'm at a stop sign, first in line in the left lane with my blinkers on they light up the entire overhead signage. Similarly, if I'm on the freeway and exiting and have my right blinkers on the entire large overhead exit signage will be illuminated in bright orange light from my blinkers. It's not a complaint or anything -- it just seems a bit much.

I noticed that on my touring as well... Maybe it has something to do with the extra turn signal in the mirrors?

That's typically how any LED turn signal is.

Mine are also bright... Changed them out to yellow to match the fog lights and they are still bright! Must be the reflection in the housing.

Do the Tourings come with LED signals?

On the front only
Rears are regular bulbs

Bright as the dickens!

I learned that the USA doesn't mandate orange turn signals like (I think) Europe does. Studies (believe them or not) have shown that they have significantly less accidents caused by people running into others turning and the thought is because the signals are bright and a different color. I was just coming up behind some fancy car that has turn signals the same color, and similar shape, as the brake lights and quickly I understood how that could be an issue, especially when you don't know if a car is slowing down to turn or not...

I'm now a fan of big, bright orange turn signals!

I definitely notice that the turn signals are bright on my Sport Touring, must be because they're LED.

mine light up every sign within 500 feet. so cool.

I think that's awesome. Warns other drivers from afar
