    US spec don't they have slightly different colour to the UK. If so they will be illegal. But any unit will work as it the flasher unit doing the work not the unit. Think they need to 12v 21w to be correct.
    Regards
    Joe.

    Yes they will work.
    Different states have different regulations but none specify the use of indicators as daylight running lights (unlike the Japanese). If they did there would be an extra wire. The lens colour in some states is specified as amber, others don't seem to care, so I would guess all oem lenses are amber.

    they are amber so hopefully nobody will care at MOT time.

    At least in my part of the US [California] we have nothing My '02 America-2018.jpg like a MOT. No smog inspection on motorcycles. They have a lot of laws on the books but motorcycles are pretty much ignored unless you get ridiculously illegal. My 2002 is lightly modified and I run a yellow headlight for safety. Nobody pays it any unwanted attention. These are the US spec. indicators it came with. ...J.D.
