Hi all, I'm currently in the middle of some cosmetic mods for my fz6, I'm looking at changing the indicators to some nicer looking ones and have come across LED indicators on eBay, are these road legal in the UK? Will they pass an MOT?

the law was changed a few years ago to accommodate LEDs

the old law forbade any flashing lamps that were supposed to be permanent. LED's by their design flash so quickly the human eye can't detect it. hence you were technically breaking the law.

I had early LED's on my cycle (who remembered the green hue on a supposedly white front lamp) and had to supplement them with incandescent lamps from a dynamo
