If the part is intended for another market (e.g. JDM STI side markers on speedfactory's site) it's unlikely to be US DOT certified. Helix are, and you can see the "DOT" stamped on the outside in some images. Not sure on GCS. That said, depending upon where you take it to be inspected and local laws, many shops won't care. You'll run the risk of failing inspection or a fix-it ticket from a cop having a bad day, but it isn't a guarantee of either.
