What about MOT?

Sorry mate - don't like them.

They don't show up enough for me (althought I s'pose they might be better in real life than in the picture)

This is my old curvy with twin hi levels - I never had any problems with the indicators melting:-

An MOT failure, and you cant see them flashing when you are braking (Followed an SV with the same set up this morning) I would add some mini indicators as well to be honest

Not road legal... Seen them in the flesh, when the sun's on them they're barely visible... LEDs are bad for that. But then again, if you're counting on other road users seeing you signal, you're goign to end up squashed regardless of how visible they are.

Not so. The new pointys use Luxon Star LEDS which are much much brighter and also expensive. The cheap immotations use std 8-10000MCD leds in a quad formation, so do the replacemnt bulbs.
