Aftermarket indicator legality?

[bogan]

There's no such requirement re the e marking thing,there's not much on my bike that hasn't been changed and have long since had all the WOF shit fights,when i bought my undertray so to be rid of all the oem plastic shit hanging off the back my local Suzuki dealer wouldnt give me a wof because of the aftermarket tail lights/ indicators built into it,fair call i said and just went elsewhere,month or 2 later they rang me after having the WOF guy call in, apologised for there mistake re the markings and havent had a problem since.

hmmm, now I'm trying to think why I was sure you were supposed to have them e-marked

vehicle lighting standards

NZTA component standards

I'm thinking that the E marking is proof that the light is manufactured to a compliant standard, but DIY or other jobbies may also meet the standard and thus be acceptable. However it's hard to judge the later, so wof places demand the former. Also worth noting, is low volume vehicle certers don't do anything with lighting, so it's not a case of getting the lights certed as some other serious mods need to be.

No idea on the ins n outs mate but do know the local Suzuki bloke is a real stickler re the rules and WOFs so for him to ring me and say he was wrong and the WOF guy put him right is good enough for me.Like a lot of things you read and hear about "old wives tales" comes to mind.

SO: In theory the mini LED indicators are a WOF fail then? Im contemplating an integrated LED tail light/indicator assembly...anyone got a WOF with these?

My recent wof was through vtnz with black flush mount led indicators fitted.
