OEM tail light question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey everyone, I bought this mint condition 2015 2SS a couple weeks ago with only 2800 miles. I noticed an oddity in that the right turn signal is yellow, and the left one is red. I have the hazards on to take this pic. Not a huge deal, since they normally aren't used at the same time. I had the car fully inspected by a local mechanic, it is basically a "new" car, can't find a single thing wrong with it. The battery was replaced at some point, and the oil was changed based on the filter brand, but everything else looks completely untouched.

I pulled the cover off expecting to just find a colored bulb, and that's when I learned it actually appears to have LED tail lights. They look factory as with everything else on the car, there are even still GM stickers on the back.

Anyway, anyone ever seen anything like that? I am not sure there is anything to actually do about it... unless it is normal? Seems weird to me... All the other lights function as would be expected, and I don't appear to have a euro fog light on the right side in back (my first theory - maybe got a euro spec light).

I had a 2000 Z28 that I bought new a couple decades ago, and haven't had one since I sold that around 2005. This thing is a nice looking car, it feels really slow though, but I think I am just jaded at this point. My last car was a Challenger Scat Pack that was noticeably more lively. Unfortunately my wife's Tesla Y pretty much blows the doors off almost anything these days, lol. I keep telling her that mine looks/sounds cooler though.

The only thing I can guess is it was mixed up in the factory. With it only having 2800 miles I would assume it hasn’t been in an accident. Maybe the bulb went out and the owner bought the wrong one, and just slapped it in there without noticing.

Yeah that is what I thought at first, but they look like LED lights to me, I don't see any bulbs.

No accidents or anything, it was a one-owner car.
