Someone had stated that it didnt make sense when some cars come factory, and I beleive that those factory cars are most likely imports which have different rules since the cars may be built elsewhere. All domestics shoudl haev some sort of reflector on the front and rear. Take a look at the next domestic an import you see, most domestics you will see that reflector and most imports will not see, of course unless they have been modified, and I am sure there may be an exception.

All cars have one amber reflector per side visible from the side and one red reflector per side visible from the rear. This is regardless of if it's an import or domestic. Those are just the FMVSS rules.

Check some of the cars. I promise you will see that most imports do not have a colored reflector in the front at least. weather in headlight or just a non lit. But every domestic does.

example 1 WRX

Now that may have changed in the past couple years, as I have been seeing some imports with the reflectors, but all domestics I have seen have them, and not so much imports. And i thought that was due to becasue of the country they were built in and the requirements. Just what I have seen.
