So I have one that's got no more light  can a bulb be changed or does the whole thing need to be replaced?

Rancho Cucamonga, CA		It has an LED inside that should last the life of the bike. Make sure it is not just the connections. Dealers will sometimes forget to hook them back up after a service.
If you do a thread search, I believe you will find a few posts from people whom have taken them apart, but they weren't meant to be.

If its burned out disconnect the wire under the dash. Now at the bottom of the badge there is a square hole you can stick a screw driver in and pop it off. Now you can pull the wire out with out taking the hole side panel off.

Brighton, TN		I had to take the side panel off, cause I don't know no better. After removal and inspection the wire had come out of the connector. Replaced under Warranty.

Boy you nailed that one Yep its the left side and I have an 08 with 68K on it.  I hand the panels off for other reasons and if I had a new badge I would have installed it.

Call me crazy but I changed rocker arms, intake and throttle body cause I had them on hand  (So now I have spares of those)

So now the bike is only half kool from the side at night.

 

I think I may install some chrome inners later on and then I will also get new ones then.

 

Thanks for the comments and pics all.
