Default Front Fender Tip Light

Bulb is burned. Is it just a straight pull out the bulb? It seems really stuck in its socket, afraid I might break it off in there. Should I just use a leather glove and pull it straight out? Service manual is mute on the bulb replacement.

It pulls straight out. I replaced mine with an LED.

If it breaks, then use a small tipped needle nose. Wiggle the bulb around before pulling.

It’s a 194 wedge bulb. Any auto part store should have an LED equivalent. HERE is a choice from Custom Dynamics

Replaced mine with the clear Custom Dynamics Fender Tip LED (not the bulb but entire kit). Along with their ProBEAM LED Dynamic RingZ and my LED head light and auxiliaries, the front of my bike is all clear, no amber except when signals are activated.

Any potential issues replacing an incandescent with an LED bulb on a 2010 model? I am thinking no as this bulb is such a minor part of the circuitry

Lol..... I am not busting anyone's ball's..... I promise. But when I opened this thread all I thought was.... How many Harley riders does it take to change a light bulb....... Lol, it seemed funny at the time.
I digress....

You should note that by changing the fender tip light to white AND riding with the headilght (obviously ON) and the passing lights ON, and white/abmer turn lights, you might, in some states have too many white lights on the front....just a thought.
