yup, as dodgy as a 9 bob note.
This question happens every year, so just wire up the brake/rear lights and forget the indicator function

Re: how legal are these???
The thing I dislike about them, having ridden behind folk with them, it that they are REALLY hard to see flashing. I like my indicators to be seen....

i find if they're kept clean they're not to bad, but i have noticed they arent visable when they're dirty, i think im going to wire both the original indy's in and the built in ones, mite look good

Re: how legal are these???
Seen these things in action and didn`t even know they had an indicator in them , half the time the Amber LED seems to blow on them and they are poor quality . I was thinking about buying one but the Red LED`s don`t seem to be as Red as the standard cover for obvious reasons ........ decided that avoiding a rear ender on a dark morning/night was better than pimpery of the back end (awaits jokes)
