Looking at the pictures I'm thinking do they make seeing the indicators difficult for drivers especially in daylight. I see some cars with DRL that turn off the side that is indicating so there must be an issue.
If its seeing better in the dark that is needed if you only ride in the city then there is no need, so maybe and on off switch that is connected to the high beam switch ? And I suppose that you will need to disconnect them for the MOT too.
If it is for beeing better seen by others then what about a couple mounted in that little gap under the MK fairing - seems made for it, not sure on the MK 2 but either way better under the fairing than next to the indicators.
What about in an insurance claim the driver says he did not see your indicators because of the spots next to them.

My understanding is that they must to be able to be switched off to do the headlight and dipped beam test for the mot. I have a spade type push on connector on mine under the right hand side fairing infill panel
that I unplugged for my mot last week. 1 minute job to re-plug after mot done.
My spots are wired through the side light circuit on my foxeye. So lights off all off, ignition off all off.

That's why I put an extra switch on mine, even though they are wired to come on with the headlight because the separate on/off switch is there it passes mot. Doesn`t make the indicators harder to see either.
