Question on 2013 RT signal bulbs

Hey ... my buddy is installing LED bulbs in his '13 RT and I told him to just pop off the mirrors. He is telling me the manual says to remove the faring ?? Is that correct? seems odd

OK, so I did some checking, and I deleted my last post.

You can just pull the mirror housing off after taking out the screws in the housing. I think you can access the bulb after that. I'm not sure you can change them with just that little room, but this is what I would try first.

Here is the mirror removal information (steps 2 & 3 only):

Sorry a lot of revisions on this post.

So you mean in photo "F" being able to get the bulb socket out? That looks doable I suspect. Jeeesh not like on my 2006 !

Thanks

Yeah, image F. I don't know if there is enough room, but that is much easier than disassembling the bike.

Thanks !!

Yes, the bikes were "facelifted" for 2010--Hexheads became Camheads--and the mirror removal procedures were changed because the mirror mounting changed. Toolkit now contains a tool for this.

On a Camhead you can't walk by the bike and knock a mirror off.

Also be mindful of the CANBus requirement.

I don't think you can do a direct replacement.

There is plenty on information out there on the subject.
