Export to Europe - final steps (indicators)

Hi y'all,

I just exported my 2000 986 from Houston to Netherlands successfully. I have an apt with the inspection agency this week to move the registration process along, and I know one thing that they are going to hit me on is the side lights. Currently the lights come on with the headlights, however, in Netherlands they must be used as indicators.

Is this a wiring or a programming issue? Reason I ask is that I rang the Porsche dealer here and he immediately said that the car needed to be fully reprogrammed, and was going to charge me 300 euros for the pleasure. I have spoken to others I work with who imported BMW's, Mercedes from the states and they had no requirement to re-program the engine.

If it is wiring, can I do this myself, or is it complex enough to take it to a shop?

Many thanks in advance.
