These lenses just pop-in Mike.  Plastic tabs hold them in place.  

I've broke two.  They are just typical H-D not sufficiently engineered crap! [smiley=thumbsdown.gif]

And buy a box of bulbs....

I think it's about the tougher ride...  And bad sockets.  Wiggle the bulb... may come back on.

Yep.  I ruin a front turn signal lens just about every time I try to remove one (to get the water out after washing bike).  Those little plastic tabs are just made out of sacrificial/soft plastic.  Bad design, but looks good so I keep buying 'em.  I wish someone would make a aftermarket replacement that looks like the original but more durable.  Are you listening HD?????
