[color=#000000:post_uid0]Hey guys & girls

Has anyone tried to get the lenses off the indicator housing in the front bar??

The little clips [maybe even the whole lens] seems to be glued onto the casing....

I basically need to know if it's solid behind there, or if there is room between the lens and the little box that the indicator light sits in. I have taken the whole piece out of the bar, and had a look through the hole where the indicator goes, but I can't see past the little box thing....

Help will be appreciated

[color=#000000:post_uid0]i think if you heat the up, the 'glue' that holds the indicator lens to the indicator body become gooey, and you can then get indicator off.[/color:post_uid0]
