Bootstrap 3 Collapse show state with Chevron icon

Question

Using the core example taken from the Bootstrap 3 Javascript examples page for Collapse, I have been able to show the state of collapse using chevron icons.

I have this working using:

$('#accordion .accordion-toggle').click(function (e) {
    var chevState = $(e.target).siblings("i.indicator").toggleClass('glyphicon-chevron-down glyphicon-chevron-up');
    $("i.indicator").not(chevState).removeClass("glyphicon-chevron-down").addClass("glyphicon-chevron-up");
});

This works (not fully tested in all browsers), but I'm wondering if there's a more elegant solution to this?

Ideally I'd like to use the core function, but I'm not sure how to achieve the same results with it.

$('#accordion').on('hidden.bs.collapse', function () {
    //do something...
})

Here's a working version in jsfiddle.

For the following HTML (from Bootstrap 3 examples):

.panel-heading .accordion-toggle:after {
    /* symbol for "opening" panels */
    font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings';  /* essential for enabling glyphicon */
    content: "\e114";    /* adjust as needed, taken from bootstrap.css */
    float: right;        /* adjust as needed */
    color: grey;         /* adjust as needed */
}
.panel-heading .accordion-toggle.collapsed:after {
    /* symbol for "collapsed" panels */
    content: "\e080";    /* adjust as needed, taken from bootstrap.css */
}
