Side roundel running lights / indicators

Anyone fitted the side panel logo roundel running lights / indicators?
If so, how did you get one removing and modifying the BMW logo roundel and fitting the lights?
Do they work well, and where did you source the lights?

My bike has them, but they were already fitted when I bought it.
I can say that they work well. Mine show a white light all the time I'm riding, and turn to flashing orange with the indicators. The offside one also stays on for 30 seconds when I park. Presumably the previous owner needed illumination to exit his garage at night.

Iām looking at them at the moment.
Motorworks and Sportouring do them around the same price bracket, approx Ā£120, with a possibility of Amazon and Aliexpress cheaper.

I bought a set from motorworks
Fitting is fairly easy if you follow the instructions! I never
I didn't like the idea of drilling holes in the side panel behind the emblem for the wiring so I ended up removing all the silver trim and feeding the wiring through there and through a hole already in the fairing.
It's was a lot of work and fiddly but I am happy with the result

It's probably wired to the wiring that goes to the auxiliary socket on the right side of the bike

@Stu
Do you by any chance still have the instructions or have a link to it?
I wanted to have a look at what is involved in wiring them before I commit.
Thank you

Possibly! I will have a look
But to connect them up they are simply 3 wires

Indicators
The wiring is the easy part its the taking the badge off and stuff thats the hardest bit but taking your time with a bit of patience is all is needed

Hi
@Stu
I am not worried about the Emblem, I did it already twice on K1600s. But the wiring was much easier with the K1600, and I had a service manual for that.
I want to know which wires I have to cut into on the RT and where to find them. And no service manual
Thanks in advance.
