Why do some cars have red rear turn signal lights and others have yellow rear turn signal lights?

Because some are rewired wrongly and so when they brake the indicators may flash and when they indicate the brake lights light up.
Cars in North America (Canada, America, Mexico) and some other countries designated as 'federal' (I think these are Dominican Republic, Saudi Arabia and Korea) have red rear indicators, they are not rewired incorrectly they are manufactured this way.
