Default Trying to remove hotbodies flush mount turn signal-please help!

Pardon me, but I have a 2003 CBR F4i and i bought it off a friend who had flush mount turn signals replaced and the lens popped off the circuit board. Rather than replace the light, to avoid the wiring craziness, I wanted to just glue the lens back on to the circuit board but I feel if I could pop it out first it might be easier.

boy oh boy just getting to this light is a nightmare, and then unscrewing the night from behind is insane.

is taking the whole fairing off my only option or is there a trick that someone could share?

many help would be appreciated.

thank you in advance!!

Rich

It would be handy if they had installation instructions on their website.

I found this photo - looks like they are bolted on, so you're going to have to take the fairing off or get your hand behind it.

drip PB-blaster onto nut and stud threads and let sit overnight. If you strip threads or pull stud out of light, they're busted for good
