Your vehicle is NOT DOT-approved if you do not have anything else reflecting orange from the front of your vehicle.

According to the Department of Transportation's (DOT) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):

It’s not as simple as anyone thinks … It appears there is no clear regulation about vehicles or equipment being used in manufacturing . It’s nothing but a Standard which does nothing but contradict what everyone thinks . It’s a lie when it’s commonly considered that DOT is the law . Nothing would be considered DOT approved or certified or required by installing equipment to a vehicle .. DOT is a nothing standard commonly accepted by everyone that shows it meets some sort of supposed safety standard or better . It appears to me the DOT is just another out of control agency for a revenue source .


"DOT does not approve any motor vehicles or motor vehicle equipment items as complying with all applicable FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards ). That is instead the responsibility of the vehicle or equipment item's original manufacturer." [1]

In other words, the DOT does not approve anything.

The DOT does however list 13 items that they list as "regulated" motor vehicle parts including: tires, rims, brake hoses, brake fluid, seat belt assemblies, lighting equipment, glazing, motorcycle helmets, child restraints, compressed natural gas containers, rear impact guards for trailers, platform lift systems for the mobility-impaired, and triangular reflective warning devices - but again, these are not "DOT approved"
