Default How do you replace the bulbs in the tac and speedo

Easy to replace on the fuel and voltage, replaced yellow ones with red, looks kinda cool, but wanna replace the others too. Lghts don't just pop out like they did on the voltage and fuel, or do they? I couldn't figure it out. Looks cool with the red on the outside and the yellow on the big gauges though. It's an FLHT, so there's only the 4 guages. Would't mind having em all red though.

Depends on what year your bike is.I wanted to change them in my '07 FLHT and the dealer told me you cant.I then asked him what to do if one burns out.He said it had to sent into Harley or you would have to buy new speedo or tach.Sounds F'd up if your asking me.Just another way to get into your pants via Harley.

The tach and speedo are lit by LEDS that last a long time. There's a place you can send them to and have them changed to a different color for a fee. Do a search on here and you will find it.

Thanks guys. Like I said, it looks kinda cool with the reds on the outside and the yellows on the big ones in the middle. I sat there looking at that for almost an hour. Wow.

I went thru the same deal last evening, I didn't realize that the speedo/tach were sealed units with LED's and cannot be changed (except by aftermarket guys). Sometimes I question what HD is thinking !!!! I wanted ALL of my gauges to match with the radio in color (lights), it looks like its not going to be a simple deal.
