The rear signals are not bulbs. They are LEDs with a MUCH longer lifespan than a bulb. Most Rocker owners would never need to replace the LEDs for as long as they own their bike. The front signals are bulbs which are easily replaced.

I know they are LED's, not replaceable. However there are a few rocker owners on this forum that HAVE needed to replace their entire light assembly due to a bad bulb, er LED!!!

The fronts are bulbs????? really?? wow.... I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with me

Don't complain to me, since you're the one who made it apparent that you didn't know the difference between an LED and a bulb:

2 days and counting at the dealer and they have no idea what is wrong, some guy in HD tech support told them it might be corrosion in the harness. Unbelievable never seen the rain washed a couple of time. I said get it fixed as i think i should sell it, the service manager suggested the honda dealer is down the street, arrogant POS. Seems like a load equalizer to me but i don't know. Whooo hooo great dealer support here.

Finally repaired it. The resistor is in the taillight, so they finally changed it and now all is well.
