It was an engineering mistake. They forgot that the high parts of the hood block their view. Driver can only see the driver side. passengers can only see the passenger side unless its a convertible with the top down and their head is above the windshield. So they quickly dropped them.
Well lets put it this way chief, i'd rather have turn signals in my vents (for whatever reason) over some stupid "puddle pony" BS lights, lighted door sills, etc.
The puddle lights are kind of ricey, a bit like something you'd see at Pep Boys. But zero.who cares percent of cars have hood vent turn indicators so I'm thinking no, not useful.
Are we still on this? The requirement being able to see all the turn signals is ridiculous.
Still can't see my tail lights. But everyone else can. It's was a gimmick, sure. I have them. I see drivers side, wife sees passenger light. All good.
I like my "stupid" puddle pony's. I like my lighted door sills too. And all my etc's. It's not for everyone. But stupid it a subjective thing. :shrug:
They weren't put on the car to be turn signals. They were meant to be turn signal indicators like on the first gens. The purpose was to let the driver know the turn signals are on in addition to the indicators inside the car. Initial press releases for the 2016 made that clear, but when they realized too late that the driver couldn't see them, they deleted the word indicator from the brochures. They avoid any mention whatsoever in the owner's manual.

Maybe in 40+ years when Barret Jackson has a 2016 on the block the know-it-all details guy can say the "only sixth-gen year with hood vent turn indicators". But sadly, those words won't follow "the highly sought after" opener.
Keep those blinkers blinking
