new 2009 indicators

[oly]

I have seen some new LED indicators on a 2009 gsa in the showroom.
Was wondering if anyone had bought some of these to fit an earlier bike. if thats possible

LED Indicators

I was told by one of the BMW staff at the NEC show that they are a straight replacement for the standard indicators,and cost around £80 a set

Just done mine, pain in the arse job, you have to strip down the back end to get to 2 plugs under the seat, but they all plug in and work well, BM priced them at £105 a set, and I just paid £80 of a guy who had them for two weeks, so they had better not be £80 from the dealer if they are I would have bought new.

And if you put them on the pre 08 models I belive you need a loom at £18 for the job.

Link to a previous post with part numbers. As mentioned the loom is supposedly only needed for pre-2008 models.

Is it just me, or is that a serious rip off ?

That is a lot of money to be draining from a captive market, special loom etc.

me too

Hi Les
just fitted mine got them from Bahnstormers
upon collection Darrens last words to me were - they are easy to fit and a bloke of my caliber should have no problem
as you said - stripped the arse end out - fitted the new indicators - and i couldnt beleive it - they were great and worked a treat - much brighter and clearer.
taped everything up
put the arse end together - called Ruth down to have a look - and she was impressed.
next removed the front indicator
no problem - getting much quicker now - then
FCUKkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
i had successfully fitted the front indicators on the rear
what a TWAT - now i had really earned the right to wear the suit
anyway
quick change and all was ok - looked great - and worked a treat
now i can only hope that no one on here tells Darren cos i have to go in there soon LOL

Les:

I did the job a few months ago - £105 was the price I paid for the bits. I didn't need the harness bits ('08 bike) and I too am very happy with the result.

Not if you don't fit them, surely?

Did the same myself first time but was not going to say

Just looking at the responses above, I realise, maybe its another way to prevent the SMIDSY thing happening, being very much visible.

Price of safety I guess.... priceless.

[Gazzabart]
