dont see why not i see intergrated tail lights all over the place...You might have to check with your local police dept cause i have heard some people state they get pulled over because they dont notice rear turnsignals some times.

Cars have had integrated signals until just the past 10 years or so. There isn't any reason they wouldn't be legal.

man i LOVE my integrated tail looks diffrent and i hate how the only other option really is circle break lights..

they are not "legal" but neither is the undertail that you are thinking about buying either it's not DOT aproved but a) you dont need turnsignals *atleast not here in texas* to pass inspection and b) the guy doing the inspection dosent know if they are dot aproved / stock / whatever

*Edit*

oh yeah and the turn signals on these are WAY brighter then 90% of other aftermarkets

most states in the US consider the intergrated lights to be ILLEGAL. some states require 4 inches, other states (like NY) require 6 inches clearance from the fender to the signal indicator.

i was pulled over twice for that crap; they did not give me a ticket but they told me to fix it. bottom line is that they are illegal but cops dont pay much attention to it.

for the correct answer check with your local law enforcement agency. they are the only ones who can tell you for sure. i would say no they are not legal. my brother here in cali got written up for having a integrated tailight . turn indicators have to be 9" apart from the center of the plate (but thats here in ca)

I have one. No problems. IMO, the undertails look like ***.
