Can someone tell me what this orange stripe is? Cause this accessory isn't available in Europe! Is it a turn indicator?

 

Just a reflector - They were on my last new Harley - then they came off....

 

It's actually a marker light, not just a reflector. Mandated by US DOT.

If you are in one of the countries that does not have them, but like them, you could probably find someone in the US to swap with.

 

I stand corrected - you are 110% right. there is a very small light in that strip....

 

and what exactly is that lights use?

 

so that the car is more visible...

 

Sidemarker lights

In North America, amber front and red rear sidemarker lamps and retroreflectors are required. The law initially required lights or retroreflectors on vehicles made after 1 January 1968. This was amended to require lights and retroreflectors on vehicles made after 1 January 1970. These side-facing devices make the vehicle's presence, position and direction of travel clearly visible from oblique angles. The lights are wired so as to illuminate whenever the vehicles' parking and taillamps are on, including when the headlamps are being used. Front amber sidemarkers in North America may or may not be wired so as to flash with the turn signals.[22] Sidemarkers are permitted outside North America, but not required. If installed, they are required to be brighter and visible through a larger horizontal angle than US sidemarkers, they may not flash, and they must be amber at the front and rear unless the rear sidemarker is incorporated into the main rear lamp cluster, in which case it may be red or amber. Some Japanese, European, British and US-brand vehicles have sidemarkers in Europe and other countries where they are not required.

 

It's funny how guys in europe get US spec stuff and we go for euro spec. Grass is always greener...

I got rid of my marker lights as well. Amber = ugly, especially when there's nothing else amber on the car.
