Billings, MT | How do you replace the side badge lights?
Do you have to remove all the side panels? Anybody got an idea?

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | I just had mine replaced under extended warranty. It took them 2 hrs. They gave me the old badge. I took it apart, there is no light bulb or LED inside. It is more of a glow panel like the ones you plug into a wall socket as a night light.
From the number of posts I've seen about these badges failing, it's no wonder the 2013's don't have lit badges anymore. |

Peru, IN | If mine ever die (and they're not replaced under warranty), I'll replace them with something else that's different, cheaper and easier to replace. Some sort of LED thing like that guy who put turn signals there and lit up the shark fins. (Sorry, guy. I don't remember who you are.) |

That is interesting. Thank you for posting about that.

Those side badges are one of the coolest things, in my mind anyway, that other
folks see. I think they are classy. I sure hope mine last awhile. I would have to
purchase some if I bought a 2013. I didn't know they weren't on there as standard.
