How do I gain access to the turn signal lamp to change the bulb? I can get to the headlight, but the turn signal is behind the fender and I can find no easy access to this light.

Hi keysmanfl,

I do not know if our models are similar and if they are, you need to remove the lamp assy to gain access to the bulbs.

Can you tell me how to remove the lamp assy? I removed the two top screws and cannot see more, but it won't budge.

Hi keysmanfl,

There are two pins at the rear of the lamp assy and you need to pry them free. Might take some force, pull the lamp assy straight out to the front.
