Any idea why the amber lights on the rear of the TAU?

There are red LEDs on the rear of the box. I never really thought about it, but there may be amber rotators on there to satisfy the FAA requirements for vehicles operating on an airfield.

Yep your correct its an FAA requirement because they tend to show up better in thick fog. At least that was the info given to me by my Father who worked for the FAA for 35 years and said every truck has to have a set of rotating lights of some sort.

The TAU is primarily used for VIP helicopter stand bys in DC, not really an airfield truck. It can be seen many times on the national news when they show the arrival of the President at the White House.
