Not without separate indicators, no. Integrated units, although often ignored by MOT bods, are technically illegal.

:edit: of course - having said that, I don't know anyone that's ever been done for having them.

I had them on my old bike. It passed it's MOT (was E marked too) but I do believe they are technically illegal. I was never pulled over though.

Indicators need to be a certain distance apart to pass an MOT, but I can't see many places actually enforcing that!

The ones I have seen on the road are very difficult to see especially during the day.

cheers for your input fellas. i was worried about the blocking of light from my brakes and also the actual visibility of the indicators. might give them a miss for now unless i decide to go all out on me fazer and start modding it up, for now its pretty standard, any good smaller indicators i should look for to replace the old ones? i.e. small but very bright or still highly visable makes? any reccomendations?

on the subject of visibility between the indicator under braking, a lot newer VW cars have two circular brake lights with an indicator in the centre as standard (Cant find a suitable picture). although it is hard to see the contrast between the two, it must be legal to contine to be manufactured

i think i know what you mean ive seen those. i would be more comportable if there was more then half of the light showing the brake i think, not sure on these.

a mate who worked at mandp got one of these throught work and they are marked with a 'E' and road legal so ummm they can be legal just personal choice with indicators
