• Are these turn signals street legal?

  Yes, these MCS Cateye mini turn signals are ECE approved, meeting European road safety standards. The 21W halogen bulb and amber lens provide the required visibility and color specification for legal use on public roads.

• What motorcycles are these compatible with?

  Thanks to the universal M10 x 23mm threaded stem, these indicators work with most classic motorcycles including BMW K-series, cafe racers, and custom builds. Compatibility depends on your mounting bracket setup. We recommend verifying the stem thread specification matches your motorcycle's receptacle.

• How difficult is installation?

  Installation is straightforward. Simply screw the 40mm stem into the M10 threaded receptacle on your motorcycle frame or custom bracket, and connect the wiring to your bike's electrical system. No special tools are required beyond a basic wrench if your mounting point is tight.

• What is the lifespan of the 21W halogen bulb?

  Halogen bulbs typically last 500-1000 hours of use. In practical riding conditions, you can expect 1-2 years of regular use before replacement becomes necessary. Keep spare bulbs on hand for emergency replacements during long trips.

• Why choose mini turn signals over standard ones?

  Mini Cateye signals offer classic, understated aesthetics that enhance the cafe racer and vintage motorcycle look. They take up minimal space, making them ideal for minimalist custom builds where every detail counts. They're also lighter and more affordable than larger alternatives while maintaining full legal compliance.

• Can I use these with LED wiring or do they require standard bulb wiring?

  These signals use halogen bulbs and require standard 12V wiring compatible with incandescent lighting. If your motorcycle has a modern LED electrical system, you may need an appropriate relay or load resistor to maintain proper blinking frequency. Check your bike's specifications before installation.

• What makes the dark lens special?

  The dark amber lens combines aesthetic appeal with practical functionality. It provides the required amber color for turn signal compliance while offering a more refined, vintage appearance compared to bright orange lenses. The tinted design adds character without compromising visibility.

• Are replacement bulbs readily available?

  Yes, 12V 21W halogen bulbs are standard automotive components widely available at motorcycle shops, auto parts stores, and online retailers. We also stock replacement bulbs compatible with these indicators for customer convenience.
