Depends on how well it was installed....just trace back the wires to the point that they are inserted into the loom...

If it was done properly, there will be a buzzer and/or indicator light in the car, usually under the dash somewhere that operates when the indicators are working.

Most usually, the wires are just scotch-locked to the loom near the taillights somewhere...

Possibly interested in the bar when you get it off....let me know whereabouts you are cos it won't be worth posting!

Tow bar on a car can be very usefull.
Usefull for towing your non BMW owning mates cars home when they break down.
Usefull for enlarging slightly too small parking places when the prat that's parked behind you hasn't left you enough room to get out.
