So, random question:
On my 2023 GT, should the amber, front side reflectors light up like the red ones in the rear? Or do the front ones not illuminate?

Since my repairs from my deer collision, I've noticed they're not lit up, but wasn't sure if they're supposed to in the first place?
Since I only had the car 9 hours before Bambi wrecked my car, I'm not sure I ever saw them Illuminated to know?

And if they should be lit, they're not, so I may need to pay a call to my repair shop and ask them to hook them up properly.

Thanks y'all.

No they don't light up because there is sufficient side coverage from the amber markers in the headlights. They are just a reflector.

Rear needs the extra red lighted markers because the taillights do not wrap around.
