You need to ask yourself what you care about the most.
1. Getting a WOF: Find someone who will let whatever you have through. Its only once every six months; and there are plenty of WOFers who will turn a blind eye
2. Not getting a ticket: Depends on the cop who pulls you over. OE will be fine; anything else becomes their discretion (from what I've heard)
3. Having a unique sweet-looking ride: Do as you please; everything and everybody else is secondary
4. Being as visible as possible to other road users: OE is usually pretty good in this respect, but you'll no doubt want to add so many extra turn signals to your BMW tourer that people will mistake you or your fluoro vest for the sun
Personally I have no OE indicators; but I like the look I've achieved, I get a WOF every time, and have never had any attention from the constabulary. It's about being aware of other road users and making your intentions clear using other means if you think they might not be clear enough (given whatever situation or signal set you have)
The brain has agreed to believe what the eye sees, but in return the eye has agreed to look for what the brain wants.
