FRONT FENDER LED'S FOR ST-S

[JKMSPYDER]

I am thinking of ordering a set of front fender LED's from Tricled for my ST-S. If anyone has installed them, I have a couple of questions. Does the installation of the lights require removal of the wheels to get up under the fenders? If so, what size metric socket is required to remove the wheel lugs? I looked it up in the parts manual and it says the lugs are M12 x 1.5. I have a set of metric socket wrenches but the highest # I have is 19 MM and it is too small. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

You do not need to remove the wheels to install the fender lights.

For the new fenders you do need to remove the wheels, all the screws are in the wheel well.

​Thanks. I asked Tricled to email the instructions and, yes, the wheels do need to be removed.

They say the first thing that goes is the memory and I guess mine is gone. I even asked the chief mechanic if we took them off and he said no. Anyway wheels off or wheels on it is an easy install.

[ 1 ].... Yes if you live the spyder on the ground it is easy'er to brake the lugs first then put it up on a jack [ with stands under the A-arms.
[ 2 ].... I used a 13/16 or 21mm socket,and they are very hard to brake loose the first time BRP puts lock tight on everything.

Note Tricled has finder light that you put on top in the center of the finder { That's way you see some of them saying you don't half to remove the finder. But for the Spyder 2013 ST you'll half to remove the finder. WE had a 2010 RT-SE 5 and now a 2011 RS-SE5 and a 2013 ST-SE 5 I have all kinds of lights on all three.

Why not remove the fenders? Then work on installing the LEDs easier. Although removing the 4 bolts holding the fenders on we're a bear to break loose. BRP does use a LOT if thread locker!
