Turn signals - what do they look like? Are they LEDs?
Hello, I'm curious about what the turn signals on the new RC will look like. Does anyone know? I've been going through all the reviews on YouTube, but I haven't seen any videos which show the turn signals.
Here are my guesses:
Front Turn Signals
I am pretty sure that the front turn signals will be LEDs in the same shape as the daytime running LEDs. If you look closely at front DRLs on the RC, you can see a yellow line above the daytime running LEDs, which is probably where the turn signals are.
Also, on the Lexus NX, the turn signals are integrated with the DRLs, so it makes sense that the RC would follow suit.

Rear Turn Signals
I haven't seen a single video of the RC with its turn signals on, but judging by pictures, it looks like the rear turn signals will be just inside where the break lights curve at a sharp angle. The big question for me is: are the rear turn signals LEDs?
I know this sounds crazy, but whether the turn signals are LEDs is my only concern with this car. I know most people don't really care, but I really like the look of LED turn signals, and I'm hoping the rear turn signals are LEDs.
Thanks for reading and any feedback you might have!

I found a video showing the rear turn signals; they look like LED's, but it's hard to see clearly. Skip to (0:28) to see the rear turn signals.

Update: Front turn signal does look like it is almost certainly LED. The DRL appears to remain full illuminated while turn signal is engaged:
DRL + Turn Signal
Can anyone tell from pictures of the rear lighting whether rear turn signals will be LED?
