toflinux a écrit :sur la longévité, je pense pas que cela joue
par contre coté réglementation, oui ca joue : il y a un nombre de clignotement (mini et maxi) à ne pas dépasser ... sinon c'est verbalisable (bien que surement rare)
Voilà la réglementation :

6.3. Direction indicator lamps
6.3.1. Number: Two per side.
6.3.2. Arrangement drawing: two front and two rear indicator lamps.
6.3.3. Position
6.3.3.1. Width:
6.3.3.1.1. The following apply simultaneously to
front indicator lamps:
6.3.3.1.1.1. there must be a minimum distance of
240 mm between the illuminating surfaces;
6.3.3.1.1.2. they must be situated outside the vertical longitudinal planes that are tangent to the outer edges of the illuminating surfaces of the headlamp(s).
6.3.3.1.1.3. A minimum distance between the illuminating surfaces of the indicators and the closest dipped-beam headlamps of:
- 75 mm in the case of a minimum indicator intensity of 90 cd,
- 40 mm in the case of a minimum indicator intensity of 175 cd,
- 20 mm in the case of a minimum indicator intensity of 250 cd,
- ≤ 20 mm in the case of a minimum indicator intensity of 400 cd.
6.3.3.1.2. The distance between the inner edges of the illuminating surfaces of the
rear indicator lamps must be at least
180 mm.
6.3.3.2. Height: minimum 350 mm, maximum 1200 mm above the ground.
6.3.3.3. Length: the distance towards the front between the transverse plane corresponding to the extreme longitudinal rearmost extremity of the vehicle and the centre of reference of the rear indicators must not exceed 300 mm.
6.3.4. Geometric visibility
Horizontal angles: see Appendix 2.
Vertical angles: 15° above and below the horizontal.
However, the vertical angle below the horizontal may be reduced to 5° if the lamps are less than 750 mm above the ground.
6.3.5. Alignment
The front direction indicator lamps may move in line with the steering angle.
6.3.6. May be grouped with one or more lamps.
6.3.7. May not be combined with any other lamp.
6.3.8. May not be reciprocally incorporated with another lamp.
6.3.9. Electrical connections
Direction indicator lamps must switch on independently of the other lamps. All direction indicator lamps on one side of a vehicle must be switched on and off by means of one control.
6.3.10. Operational telltale: optional.
It may be optical or auditory or both. If it is optical it must be a green flashing light and visible under all normal operating conditions. It must be extinguished or remain alight without flashing or show a marked change of frequency in the event of the malfunction of any of the direction indicator lamps. If it is entirely auditory it must be clearly audible and show the same operating conditions as the optical telltale.
6.3.11. Other requirements
The characteristics listed below must be measured with the electrical generator supplying current only to those circuits that are essential to the operation of the engine and lighting devices.
6.3.11.1. Actuation of the light-signalling device control must be followed by illumination of the lamp within a maximum of one second and extinction of the first lamp within a maximum of one and a half seconds.
6.3.11.2. In the case of all vehicles the direction indicator lamps of which are supplied with direct current:
6.3.11.2.1. the flashing-light frequency must be
90 ± 30 times per minute;
