Default clear led strip brakelights with integrated indicator - are these legal?

just found these indys on:

http://www.banditmania.co.uk/headlam...ail_lights.htm

it's a clear LED unit where the brakelights funcion as normal but also act as indicators - would they be legal? The product description says they're e-marked but I'm not convinced... still I like em 55 quid

Only illegal if you wire up the indicators. Leave just the tail and brake lights and they conform to C+U regs and are MOTable, as long as they are E marked.

My understanding is as Lozzo suggested....

If the indicators are wired/operational then they're not allowed.

I've got these wired up with original indicators. Spoken to a few policemen since having them on and they've only ever said they would be illegal if i didnt have my original indicators too. I've never had any trouble and i've had them for well over a year and covered a few thousand miles. Even the midlands police said the same as the ones down south.

It's your bike get some if your like them, if you get pulled just unplug the integrated indi's simple, same goes for mot.
