Vilkkuluista

Vilkkuluista is a Finnish plural noun used in descriptive or technical Finnish to refer to the indicator lights on a motor vehicle, i.e., the set of turn signal lamps. In everyday language the more common terms vilkut or vilkkuvalot are used, so vilkkuluista is relatively uncommon outside automotive texts or dialectal contexts.

The word denotes the group of front and rear turn signals that blink to indicate a driver’s turning intention. Each lamp is typically amber and must comply with applicable vehicle lighting regulations. In modern vehicles the lamps are controlled by a switch on the steering column and an electronic control unit or flasher relay; many models feature safety features such as automatic cancellation of the signals after a turn.

In Finnish usage, vilkkuluista appears mainly in formal, descriptive, or historical contexts. It may appear in grammatical forms depending on sentence structure, such as for reference to the whole set of lights. For practical purposes, resources and regulations more commonly refer to vilkut or vilkkuvalot.
