Amber turn signals, as displayed on this BMW 330Ci, are now the industry standard worldwide. (WIKIMEDIA PHOTO)

Shortly after the automobile reached mainstream status, the need for safety features became necessary. It’s strange to consider that some early features actually required thought and innovation, but headlights, brake lights and turn signals are among such examples.

Lighting on cars was pretty sparse, and marker lights and reflectors were not required. In fact, a single taillight was standard, while an additional taillight on the opposite side of the vehicle was an option on many vehicles into the 1930s.
