May even be an MOT failure -
Why would you want to add any ambiguity at all to which way you intend to turn - or not turn to car drivers that are already trying their best to kill you.Much better to fit some white spot lights.
In the BMW world they are called "Cruising Lights" and are no doubt an extra cost £££ option for your GS, but this reviewer says what @fazersharp mentioned, that with just a quick glance a cager could think you are signalling to turn. Mmmm. May have to rethink this option :-(
I nearly pulled out on a car the other day thinking it was turning left, then i suddenly remembered this post so held back as i had only quickly glanced at it, then when i looked again sure enough both amber lights were on as well as their headlights too. Really is a daft idea, and quite deceiving.
I wa sat in the motor car at the traffic lights waiting for green, the driver in front must have had his foot on the brake pedal the whole time waiting. When he pulled away, I was blind

Whilst on the subject of stupid light designs, there seems to be trend appearing of rear lights spanning the whole of the back of the car in a long strip. I just think that if it ends up with most cars like that when on a motorway the whole road in front will just appear as a solid red block with no means or aids for your eyes to separate the cars you are looking at. Which is not good for judging the road ahead.
