Title: Does anyone make these (sorry if this is a repost)
Post by: jaypeezy215 on April 24, 2008, 12:04:39 AM
Hey everyone,
My friends R6 has integrated turn signals in his tail lights. I was wondering if anyone made this for the GS500f. It looks really good and thought it'd be great for the gs500f. If anyone is confused on the question, I'm asking if the rear turn signals could be put into the brake light on the gs500f. Specfically 2004-2005 model. Thanks in advance!

Forgot to mention this the first time but some GS owners have decided against this mod due to the fact that the turn signals in an integrated unit are not as distinct from the brake light as in a stock or other set-up. This could result in drivers not noticing your intention to turn/change lanes as well as they might otherwise.
Just thought I should mention that. There are other modification for your rear turn signals that don't involve an integrated unit. Shortening the turn signal stocks is one. Another is finding some aftermarket signals that are still separate from the brake light but that are smaller and more aesthetically to your liking.

I always use a trailer light conversion kit. Most any autoparts stores have them and typically less than $20. Not tough to install. There was a write-up on this mod already posted.

clear alternatives ahs a set up that works nicely... kinda pricey though.
