Street legal upgrade kit ????

I use my 2019 Prowler Pro 3-seater for local corn / cattle fields, local mild trails, family outings for brunch and road usage (to get to/from these different locations). My UTV has DRL (re: low beam LED headlights are always on) and it has slow moving sign on its rear tailgate as well. Yes. Minimum things for a farming tool to be on my region's country roads.

Was thinking of buying / installing a low cost universal Street Legal Kit from Amazon. re: horn, reverse lights, turn signals and 4 ways. Anyone buy / install / use a road kit on their UTV? How do you like it? Thanks....

FYI share - if others plan to-do the same...

After a "good night's sleep" I decided to upgrade my DIY simple Street Lighting kit with 4-Way Emergency Flasher ability. For this task, I previously bought a 4-way flasher rocker switch, 1 x LED Flasher module and some 12V 1A mini-diodes (that fit inside auto fuse holders). Since LED light use very little Amps, I'm hoping 1A diodes will work properly. I'm now currently waiting for the 1A mini-diodes to arrive (which can take up to 2 months in my remote north region). For simple wiring diagram, see attachment. More to come / more to share - as I slowly receive needed parts.

Update:

After another "good night's sleep" and more online research, I decided NOT to use 2 x 1A Diodes. Yes, 1A will most likely work properly. However, some Electronic Specialists advise NOT to exceed 80% of diode's sizing number. Thus, I decided to use 2 x 3A (for reality max 2.5A each) size instead. See pic for visual. Currently waiting for these parts to arrive in my north region....

Update:

Today, I received previously ordered 20 x 3A diodes / pn: 1N5400 (from Amazon) and installed them. I could have also used 6A for < 50V rated diodes as well. For 12V LED lights, 3A for < 50V (pn: 1N5400 ) works great. My Prowler's new 4-way flasher now works properly (properly with its Left and Right flasher switch using same LED bulbs).

For folks who might do the same 4-Way flasher install (on their UTV, ATV or other 12V system), see below details.

Like they say, "the magic is in the Diodes" (to stop DC current back feeding). smiles.

Hope this helps
