I have a light completely gutted, PM me if you have any questions.

Also, black generally is ground but not all the time. So I'd double check.

+1. has anyone changed out their turn signal? what color is the stock bulb? im guessing its a 7440 - the piaa 7440 mirror chrome bulb is excellent for getting rid of the orange bulb but staying legal.

Alright fellas. I already changed out my lights through the wheel well twice, but I decided to give it a whirl through the top this time (LEDs keep burning out, but they're cheaper than dirt so I don't care). SO MUCH EASIER!!

I popped out the air filter boxes and had both city lights changed in about 15 minutes!! If you've already changed bulbs through the wheel well and you know where everything is under there, then going through the top is a breeze for the fogs and city bulbs.
