Glowing front signals

My LX's front turn signals were glowing very dimly earlier in the daylight with the car off and doors locked. See pic below. Now at night, they have gone out. Does anybody know what's up with this? Is this a feature, fluke, or flaw???

I still have not read my manual so I dunno...

Looks like a reflection of the amber bulb on the lens to me.

I know right? That's what I thought too... I went to a lot of effort to eliminate that possibility. I turned the car so it wasn't facing the sun... I tried to cup my hands over the lense to block external light. Maybe I just could not do that well enough. If they were really glowing I would see it at night... I guess I'm just silly...

If you were also wondering where all you blinker fluid was going the chupacabra was probably drinking it to stay alive since you forgot it was under your hood.

Ok... this makes sense because as hard I looked I never could find any blinker fluid puddles under the car... so lookit, I'm not happy about the Chupacabra but this is a little bit of a relief...

You're a good sport! Haven't noticed glowing blinkers on my LX

I've done more than a few double takes on the front and rear indicators, but it was just the reflection. Or my Chupacabra is more wily than yours.
