I'm about to install flush-mounted LED front turn signals on my ZX636. I'm also about to take my DMV roadtest to get my Motorcycle endorsement down here in Florida. The first thing the examiner does is check that turn signals and tail lights are all functioning properly. If he sees after market turn signals (which aren't quite as big and bright as the stock ones) will he disqualify me just for that?

If so I will of course wait until after the test to install the goodies. Has anyone had this experience?

There's not much they can say as long as they meet DOT standards and are therefore road legal.

I seriously doubt that most of the DMV examiners would know the difference.
My ex sister-in-law was an examiner for the DMV for motorcycle endorsments. She was a good gal but knew absolutly nothing about starting, riding or maintaining a bike.

What about all the ones LP sells, they even say that they aren't DOT approved...

i have the LP ones that ARE DOT LEGAL , short stalk carbon fibre. i love these signals.

so, sounds like the consensus is that if they are DOT then you should be all set, if not you may want to wait until after the test to install them.

Yamaha Warrior has an LED taillight system with a white lens. It must be DOT approved or it would never pass inspection. More bikes are going to this. Bulb changes will be a thing of the past.
