I'm curious as to why you went with the red for the turn signal. Amber has been proven to be much more visible especially if you are braking at the same time as the signal is on. I've seen some vehicles where you could hardly tell the signal was on when the brake lights were also on. More and more North American manufacturers are following the Europeans in using amber bulbs for turn signals.
I personally prefer safety over looks. As far a 'bright red LED' goes, don't forget the brake lights are also bright red LED, thus eliminating any contrast between them and the signal light. The fronts are still amber. It seems to me that the first few cars I owned had clear signal bulbs and lens in the front but then as time went on, manufacturers changed them to amber to make them more visible to oncoming traffic, especially at night. But, to each his own.
Well you won't be the first to get rear-ended. One member's Explorer was run into twice and then there was another recently as well. Probably distracted drivers. I don't know how you can not see this vehicle stopped in the first place.
