There are state requirements and then there are federal requirements. Tail lights/turn signals have both a brightness min and also a physical spacing requirement for placement of the turn signals left and right of the tail light.Shdwdrgn wrote: I've been looking at possible replacement LED taillights, but they all seems to have ratings for different countries. Does anyone know of a chart that would compare something like an E4 approval to the standard US DOT system? I obviously don't want el-cheapo dim lights on my bike, and I assume anything that has been certified has met at least a certain standard for brightness and visibility, but it would be nice to know if the lights I'm considering would actually meet the local legal requirements.
As for LEDs: most are too dim especially the junk off ebay. Superbright leds.com had the best those are what I am running.
