Default Road Glide headlight bezel removal

One of my headlight bulbs burned out on my 2011 Road Glide Ultra.

I consulted my handy $90 HD service manual where in section 7.12 it simply says, “Carefully pry headlight bezel from front of motorcycle.”

There was no further explanation like exactly where do you do the prying. There were no photos or diagrams.

I went to several of the online forums to try to learn how to do it. Most of the forums told me that the outer fairing has to be removed to change a light bulb. Other forums quoted the HD manual, again, with no further enlightening information.

I decided to search for information directly on YouTube and found exactly what I was looking for. I would like to share this video with the Road Glide community.

In YouTube you can search for this phrase, “2013 Mean Mug installation” or you can go to this URL:

And here it shows you exactly what to do and how to do it.

I have found a flat butter knife works well.
