    Yes that's the one. Do you have to remove wheel?

    You need to use something like a flat screwdriver or your fingers if you can and push the clear plastic cover back and up. Reverse for install. be careful the little black gasket kind of thing is tricky

    There's no need to remove the wheel, when this is all happening to the "Old-Style" fender.

    Warwagon's signature says that he has a 2015 RTS SE6 Limited (not sure exactly what that is - an S or a LTD?) so he does not have the old style fenders. If that is the case remove the wheel will give you the access you need to change the tip light.

    Thanks Ann!
    When he responded to Mike; it seemed as if he was saying that he had the old style fenders.

    Good catch, and remove the wheel!

    The White front marker light is a sealed LED unit. You can't change the color. Basically there are two High Intensity White LED that shine into light pipes to illuminate the front fender. Is it burned out?

    Not sure. Just does not light up. Was flickering for awhile. But now nothing. Back to dealer. Less than year old.

    On the new fenders, i found taking off the fender was easy. 4 bolts and unplug then you can remove the channel with ease and get to all the wires

    Mea Culpa - I didn't look down far enough ....... Since it's in warranty I would have the dealer fix it .....it could be a wiring issue .....sometimes ( like rear fender area of early GS/RS ) it comes loose or was never properly fastened ........Mike

    Started a case with dealer. Won't fix it until it completely stops working. So until then drive around with it flashing off and on.

    Default Check

    Look at the connection. Unplug, plug back in. Inspect the wire, look for wear, breaks, cuts. Jiggle the wire, try to make it blink. If you are up for it, unplug, put a voltmeter on, see if the problem is upstream. Normally, a tiny cut is all it is. Finding it is the tough part! Good luck. Joe
