Does anyone know the laws/legality behind these?
Such as an integrated park/brake/indicator tail light? Or even front LED indicators?
Does there have to be a minimum visibility angle or anything?
Thanks in advance

Ive had them for years on my old girl,the only trouble i had was when i first went for a wof,got turned down the reason being no markings on the lenses,bloke rang me about a month later to tell me he was wrong and if i still needed one to bring it on down,never had a problem since.Fwiw the setup i bought didnt allow for a rear facing reflector which you do need here,i simply bought a $10 pushbike one and cut it to fit.One thing i will add is that some intergrated setups are nothing but rubbish.if cars cant see your going to turn then chances are they will just run over you..

1/2 an hour before i took that pic the thing was literally covered in mud mate,hence the just washed cleeeeaaaannnn look.Had been out for a ride and decided to call in and see a mate that works on a dairy farm in the middle of nowhere.

Download the VRIM from the land transport site for everything you need to know.
LED indicators will need a flash resistor to regulate the flash rate and must be seen from a 60 degree angle. If your bike is post 2002 then everything also has to be e-marked.
