Personally if someone pulled up next to me and informed me that I had a signal light not working I'd thank him, then go home and resolve the issue.
I don't know how much of a Forty Eight is made in China but I really don't give it much thought. I enjoy mine and haven't had any problems with it. Of course mine hasn't been dumped.
Considering how unhappy you are with yours it seems that you'd be better off getting rid of it. And good luck finding something that is completely produced in the USA.

Did ya even bother to pop the cover off and check to see if the bulb was in the socket correctly? I have had my bike for 3 yrs now and have not had a light go bad yet.
