Front turn signals

Anyone think that oncoming traffic has a hard time seeing the front turn signals? My last turn on my way home is a busy intersection, I'll be turning left (signal on) & the car going in the opposite direction will be turning to his left, but they seem to be waiting for me to make my turn (like if I didn't have the signal on). This happens a lot, even when there are no cars behind me, most people pass on the right anyways, which I hate.

I find the turn signals to be very bright...as long as they are working.

Well mine are working, it just seems like the other drivers are reacting like they are not working. Like they can't see them.

I've also thought that they (front turn signals) are too close to the head lights.... But never had someone else drive the Yaris so I could look for myself.

I see you're in Wisconsin. Could you car (and lights!) be completely coated in road junk and salt? I'm in northern MN and my headlights, etc. are coated in salt at the moment.

And that's why I also value the extras at the gas station, like squeegees and paper towels at the pump.

This seems like it happens year round, I think I'm going to try some LEDs for the front turn signals. I've never had to remove them, what are they? 3157n/a bulbs?
