*...Signalling turns and stops
Signal for left or right turn
142. (1) The driver or operator of a vehicle upon a highway before turning to the left or right at any intersection or into a private road or driveway or from one lane for traffic to another lane for traffic or to leave the roadway shall first see that the movement can be made in safety, and if the operation of any other vehicle may be affected by the movement shall give a signal plainly visible to the driver or operator of the other vehicle of the intention to make the movement. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 142 (1).
Signal when moving from parked position
(2) The driver or operator of a vehicle parked or stopped on the highway before setting the vehicle in motion shall first see that the movement can be made in safety, and, if in turning the vehicle the operation of any other vehicle may be affected by the movement, shall give a signal plainly visible to the driver or operator of the other vehicle of the intention to make the movement. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 142 (2).
Mode of signalling turn
(3) The signal required in subsections (1) and (2) shall be given either by means of the hand and arm in the manner herein specified or by a mechanical or electrical signal device as described in subsection (6). R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 142 (3).
Requirements for signalling device
(6) A mechanical or electrical signal device shall clearly indicate the intention to turn, shall be visible and understandable during day-time and night-time from the front and from the rear of the vehicle for a distance of 30 metres, and shall be self-illuminated when used at any time from one-half hour after sunset to one-half hour before sunrise. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 142 (6)....*

*...Signal for stop

So, do your smoked lamps qualify???
Read the HTA CAREFULLY, and decide for yourself if they are kosher.
As long as they are visible at specified distance, and as long as they are emitting a right type of colour, I'd say YES, they are OK, but I don't know your smoked lamps nor do I know if a cop would agree that they are visible enough...
One thing to keep in mind is are other people going to see your lamps???
If not, then you're just asking for an accident - someone will pile into you, and hopefully it won't be at high speed.
Lamps serve a damn good purpose, not just for you, but for others on the road as well...
Do you feel lucky, as the man said???
Keep in mind, we don't live in Europe where drivers are far more alert, generally speaking, and where smoked lamps are tolerated; we live in a place where people deliberately ignore lamps, so I'd say, why add to their idiotic cause?
If it was me, I'd have 100w spot lamps for signal devices, but HTA allows only one spot lamp, thus you'd never know if I want to turn right or left...
