Default Who has the Rivera Primo 5 3/4in LED light?

I'm looking into this light for my '14 street bob but there is one thing that absolutely kills it for me. Those homo built in turn signals! SO I'm asking from anybody who has one, how easy would it be to take apart the light housing and remove the LED turn signal/ accent bulbs entirely from the housing? I'm aware that it would probably leave a little void and require some sealing which I am ok with.

The turn signals ruined it for me to, I don't like the way the name is printed on the inside of the light either.

It looks good:
Overview of Rivera Primo 5-3/4 in. HED-LED Phase 3 Headlamp W/ Turn Signals - 1116-0201

This all LED, solid state, 5 3/4 in. headlamp with high and low beams will outshine any halogen or H.I.D light and most LED headlamps on the road today
Lower amperage draw of LEDs, its perfect for older alternator systems found on earlier models
The signature integral LED turn signals/running lights are wired in separately, while high and low beam are a simple plug n play into your OE wiring harness
Replaces the OEM 5 3/4 in. halogen headlamp assembly


NOTE: 2014 Harley models may require 21-744

I would just not use the signals or co-phase them with the signals you are now using. They are led so not much draw.

I know you don't have to hook them up but it's the cheesy look of them in the housing that bugs me, hence why I'd like to know if the unit is easy to pull apart.

Yes, I think it would look better with a halo instead of having signals on each side or nothing surrounding the light.

I wouldn't want a halo either, I'm not putting this light on a '89 Honda civic with a fart can.

I just want a simple LED light! I like the day maker and its looks don't bother me, but it's damn pricey. I guess I'll have to see how Christmas turns out to make a light choice.

Personally, I wouldn't let those signal LEDs bother me. There's not a lot of options for a good 5.75" LED. That headlight design was clearly taken from the Truck-Lite Phase 7 LED. I've used the Truck-Lite in 3 bikes now and they totally kick ***. What I'm saying is that headlight, due to it's copied design, might be one of the most efficient LEDs available. I went through a great deal of effort & expense mounting a 7" Truck-Lite LED to my FXR. If I would have known about this 5.75" back then, I would have just gone with it.


Believe me, nobody's gonna say: Hey, nice bike ... except for that homo headlight


Unless you post pictures here and some offended homo catches the thread.

I just found this picture on an eBay action site. Those signal LEDs look very simple to remove.

Is this actually an LED headlight, or a halogen (normal) headlight with LED turn signals built in? From what I've read so far, it appears to use a normal halogen bulb.

It's an LED headlight (separate high and low beams bulbs) with additional, smaller, LED lights forming left and right signal arrows.
