you can bake them in an oven at 250* to get the glue to soften up

Let me know how you get it apart. If the led's are soldered on the main board, not sure what you got there. I may be able to help.
I had some1 contact me about changing the led's in his Vrod mirrors, I turned down the work as I didn't want to break the mirror opening it and turn signals are a std yellow didn't think he really should be changing to white.

Hello down Under, I didn't even realize where you were from. It's good to have family that are skilled. Good luck on your project, and please do PM me if you get it opened without breaking it.

My 2010 FLHX didn't come with LED taillights. They just had a standard bulb and I ended up putting Custom Dynamics LEDs in them. Australian models come with LED? I feel cheated.
