White LED okay shining from the rear?

[Rob MacLennan]

What I get is that four-way flashers are legal, but red turn signals aren't!

For decades, American cars always had red turn signals in the back, and many cars still do (including mine).

Once again, the HTA is badly worded, and you have to go to the federal motor vehicle standards to get the correct explanation.

Aw heck, we should go back to semaphores like a '53 VW Beetle had. That's probably when they wrote that piece of the HTA ...

I believe that red or amber turn signals are permissible, but the HTA can be rather contradictory in the read.
