Do you mean use the 'sidelights' as indicators? I assume you do, in which case whilst it may look trick, it does make the indicators harder to see, particularly if you live and ride in town I would think very hard about that, you need to be seen.

There may be one available - but I haven't seen one - that is 'E' marked, no 'E' mark = not legal for use on the road.

Yes, they're not easy to see either, I have the same reservations as mentioned above.
