Blinker Solution with Eurolights...

FWIW, here in PA where annual safety inspections are done by private
mechanics (as opposed to state run stations), my mechanic just reminds me
that the "illegal" (non-DOT) lights weren't on the car when he saw it ;-)
in case anyone asks.  He's actually a real stickler on all other aspects of
the inspection.

Although my Audi's have all had factory DOT lights, my current and past
vehicles with non-sealed beam round or rectangular lights have never caused
me to fail an inspection or to get flagged by a cop.  I think this became
even more often overlooked in around '85 when most European imports were
coming in with DOT approved versions of the standard Euro lights (i.e.
anything that was not standard round or rectangular).
