Yup fine, as long as the bulb are orange and are orange when illuminated.

The only time they will fail is if the orange film on the bulb burns off...in which case it's a simple case of replacing the bulbs

Sorry slight wording mistake, they only need to flash orange. Doesn't matter when they are off (unless the bulb has blown )

got the diadem bulbs in the front and mine passed fine.

as long as your indicators flash orange its a pass, whether the bulbs are E marked or not.
