Should say DOT approved, but as long as it looks and performs like a real taillight you shouldn't have any problems. Its the lights that are too dim, weird colored, or otherwise hard to see that may cause a problem.

You should be ok. The only thing I am not sure about is the front signal and side marker light. Both should be an amber color. Not white or clear.

And FYI, DOT does not "approve" systems. It set the standard to which the industry must comply. Meaning, DOT approved is not like it was tested and inspected by the DOT. Years ago after companies came out with the clears with no reflectors, people were getting alot of tickets. The companies later started adding the reflectors.

DOT Approved also known as DOT compliant.

Do they put out the correct colors? I could see that being a problem. I.E. Blue turn signals or blue reverse lights. If they are DOT and correct colors shouldnt be a problem.
