Muth mirrors

At times when I'm following another Gold Wing, I noticed the signal lights can get washed out momentarily by the sun when the sun is to the riders back. I would like to know how the Muth mirrors would be in that situation and whether red signal arrows might better than amber signal arrows.

For those that have been able to compare the red Muth mirror signals to the amber, which would you prefer?

I can see where having the amber color would look good.
I'm leaning towards red because I too believe they would stand out and get noticed.

I have a set of these on my 2012. I used them on my 2004 and transferred them to my 2012. The way they are made, the light is shaded from the rider. The lights stick behind the mirror.
The description says the adapter is out of stock, but I you can splice the wire into the existing turn signal wire.
I had a set of these on my 1500 and they worked well and got the job done. They did restrict the movement of the mirror glass though; I wasn't able to swing them out as far as I wanted to.
