Not yet, im sure it could be easily done though, that is if you are good at fabricating things. For what its worth just get rear LED signals in the fender eliminator and they even sell a relay that you can make your rear brake flash in the direction your going

No, it is legal. you are supporting the flasher that exhists for more safety. What is illegal is flashing red lights in attempts to move traffic. New car companies may not be allowed to build cars with red turn signals. have to be amber, but there is no law that says you cant have red signals as well. Look at the old GM's they had red signals in the brakes

Most aftermarket turn blinkers are NOT ! D.O.T legal for "on road" use as said on the package " Not D.O.T legal", I use them but, if I get a ticket I knew "IT", was comming. :roll:

The only time a cop would give you a ticket is if its a color other than red or amber, and if you were using the lights for something else other than turning....such as warning traffic so they would move or whatever. The only people who would so much care about a thing like that is the department of motorvehicles if they set up some random checkpoint and want to look at peoples cars, and the most they can do is give you a BS written warning aka dont let us see you again kinda deal

Well if you run accross the random D.O.T. check point, along with the "written warning" they can also red tag your vehicle deaming it un-roadworthy. And the only solution to this would be to remove and or correct the wronged items. Not good while your standing on the side of the road.

Also running "not for street use" parts pouts you into a gray area when it comes to getting your vehicle inspected yearly or bi-yearly wahtever your state has. Now being a former inspection mechanic in the good ole commonwealth of PA, I can say that most of the guys I wrenched with didn't really care about the regulations of the state. Do you have good brakes? good tires? no holes? no bad joints? horn works? God write the sticker. Did we measure jeeps with exposed tires to see if they were more than 4.75" passed the fenderwell....no we eye-balled them. But there are rules out there, and there are people who, through their personal nature, strictly follow those rules.

As far as cops not writing you a ticket because your turns are still red... I wouldn't risk it. I ran street legal clears on an A4 and had a dick cop write me several citations for illegal equipment. Which I would have to take time out of my day to go to court, provide documentation proving my stuff was legal, and then get the charges dropped. He knew I was right, but wanted to be a dick cop anyway.

Moral of the story: No matter how right or wrong you are, there are still dick cops.

Have the signals in the passenger pegs. Not sure if it is completely legal or not, don't really care either. They look bad a@#. If you want to see a pic go to R6messagenet.com I have mine posted there plus I've seen a few others. There is a member who will mod. your pegs for you for some $$. But, it is a very easy mod, it only took me about 2 hr to do it, that includes all the wiring and tail fairing removal & install, but not the dry time for the sealent. If you do decide to install them yourself don't go cheap on the LEDs. You'll just end up pulling them out to replace them with brighter ones, like I had to do.
