Cool Signal light differences between F and non FSport?

Is there a difference in turn signal lighting between a FSport and a Non FSport? Specifically, the rear turn signal flashing on the trunk lid. I know the rear corner flashes when signaling but I notice that on non FSport models. The inner on the trunk lid also does but not on mine (FSport model). Is this normal or is mine just busted? Just noticed it the other day.

To clarify, I referring to the the strip under the reverse lights. I know it's not sequential but does a F model even flash at all?

Thanks.
H.

You you must have the bad (non triple led) headlights. Big mistake.

Doh! So what your saying is. The rear signal light strip under the backup lights only illuminates when you have the Triple LED package regardless of which tier model?

Just confirmed what you stated. Guess I missed that part when buying the car. Nothing I can do about it now, till the next ride

You could change the bulb in the rear turn signal to LED fairly easily, but it still would not light up the section beneath reverse lights.

It seems that you can also change the whole housing for the rear lights to just LED's so they all light up without getting the triple beam.

Check out the sequential lights topic. It seems that one user did just that and changed it out to where all the LED's light up. Something about a black vs blue tape?

THere is of course a more expensive option to change them to sequential led's.
