Why did the U.S. R3's get fugly signals as stock and the rest of the world gets modern updated ones like the picture below?

Anyone know where I can get those replaced online?

I think it's something to do with U.S. regulations. I believe motorcycle front turn signals here must be amber. You can do that with an amber lens cover or an amber bulb behind a clear lens cover. Yamaha chose to do the amber lens cover and must have used the ugly ones from some other existing model.

I put these on my R3 (get the harness adapters and the relay, too and the whole thing will be Plug-and-Play). They're available in clear and smoked.

I put Yamaha OEM LED Carbon Look rear signals on mine, with a Vagabond Motorsports Fender Eliminator

Thank you for the TS Industries link
Where can I buy Yamaha OEM LED Carbon Look rear signals ? And do I need any adapter or it will be easy to connect directly to exsisting rear turn signal cable ?

This is where I bought mine.

They come as a complete kit with resistors to make them flash at the correct 85 flashes per minute rate.

They also come with connectors to connect to existing wires on the bike

Canada gets the ugly ones too, and no ABS either. But $1,000 cheaper then Europe so can't complain.
