HELP PLEASE
It looked very easy, until I tried to reach the plug-in area. The wires/loom goes for 4 inches and then runs to the back of headlight housing and disappears.
What do I remove to find the connection?

You can replace the turn signals without removing any bodywork provided you have the special tool needed to get the recessed fastener screw off

It is easy to remove the nut that holds it.
The problem if connecting it to the hidden harness

The old ones are still working
I braced them into place so they don't droop or start flopping around. I will install the new ones whenever the 10 year old headlight bulbs go out.

I learned from my last MP-3, not to rush and mess up. This bike has had the pro's at AF-1 Racing to take better care of it, than I would have.

you will loose the signals when it comes the time. Open things up now and change the lightbulb too. My 2 cents
