interesting... it doesn't seem hard, but i think when i do take it apart, i would lose all the parts... as similar to that post, my indicator part snapped due to my stupidity. and looking for a replacement... it looks like it will cost me $135 to fix.

Haha found another related DIY and should probably help cos it's got better pics, though looks all Greek to me.

And if you get the in.pro smoked mirror signals, they come with printed instructions as well.

I have the smoked ones ready, just waiting for my covers hence the research. Will look in the box now =)

if i remember correctly, they're pretty basic.

but it's nice to have something in front of you while you're doing it

Disassembly -> no problems
Reassembly, well unless it's from Ikea or LEGO I'm not that great.
