LED Indicator Upgrade

[tunnie]

I have a 2006 GS on 56 plate, I want to replace the front indicators as one is damaged. I thought about a straight swap, but I like the newer LED ones. Brighter and look much more modern compared to my ones.

Done some searching, I think I need this adaptor loom for my bike:

Then it's just getting the LED indicators?

Is that correct?

Also is OEM still best? Any good alternatives?

Could not find any used on motorworks, how much are these from a dealer? Anyway of getting trade prices?

Thanks

I just changed the innards on mine to the 2008 led inserts and fitted the later clear lenses,

Ah, I see, I didn't have to do anything with the bikes wiring or fit any resistors when I did my upgrade, don't know if you'll need to with that type sorry

I might do same to my rear cluster as you did to yours, I think the front would benefit from the thinner style. Being 2006 year I think I need the adaptor loom :

Think this is the same loom?

2008 on don't need adaptor loom, earlier bikes do.

So I would need the adaptor loom for my late 2007 model adventure??

If its a late 07 reg but 2008 MU bike you might be lucky. What colour is the bike?

Yes, that's the correct adaptor loom kit, which I used on my 57 plate GSA12; may be worth a look on e-bay or here....

I went with these as well, and they do look great & super bright...bought a 2nd hand complete set from Motorworks

Yes....my mate converted my rear light cluster & all indicators from original to LED on my 57 plate GSA 12 and the adaptor kit is def needed.

It's not a MU.......... it's the 2006 model but I read somewhere that the late 2007 where a bit of a "frankenstein" bike with some of the MU changes!!

Do they pop up often on motorworks? I could not see any, unless I'm blind.

O6 plate, didn't need anything extra to do this conversion, bought the innards and lenses from BMW dealer but I can't remember what it cost.

Are they LED innards??

Could you not use non BMW LED indicators with ballast resistors built in.

Yes, I think they were introduced in 2008 but could be wrong, much brighter than the old bulb ones, plus they look better with the clear lenses in my opinion.

For my 2006 year, would these work without adapters or create Lamp errors?

No idea, but you'd be best speaking to them and they can put a set on back order for you......
