have 2003 GW. it has chrome over the side radiator vents. it has (had) two rows of leds.
have no idea who make the chrome or leds.

some of the leds have quit working - it looks like
strips of four or five lights in each strip and about 5 strips in each row. two rows on each vent.

any idea where I can find replacements for the led pieces...

Thanks David B

David there are a few different manufactures and styles of those LED trim pieces. Pictures would help a TON!! Without them it's just too much guessing... :xszpv: :xszpv:
 
took photo of both sides. the left side is missing a whole row and center part of upper leds.
the other photo shows what it is supposed to look like.

thanks for any help.

Dave,
Ill tell you what I did. I wound up having to pull off both chrome pieces off of the bike. That was the easy part. Getting all of the glue strips off of the chrome was the hard part. On the bike I was able to just take my fingers and slowly rub it off and clean up what little glue was left with lighter fluid. Now on replacing the lights I wound up using flexible LED strips from Oznium.com. I purchased orange color which is basically the same as Showchromes lenses. If you get yellow it wont match(ask me how I know!) I ordered the strips just slightly less in length than the lenses and just pressed them in and used a little clear RTV silicone at each end to hold them. You'll find the Ozniums are a little brighter because of more LEDs and you can be seen Better from the side. Also depending on how theyre hooked up youll have to unwire them from the bike to get them off. Showchrome recommends I want to say an 1/8th in hole to run the wires through that youll see more easily from thr inside of the fairing. My missus says Im persistent,I told her Im cheap and didnt fell like spending another $150.00+ for lights. I would take a good look and see if youre able to get the lights out of the lenses on the bike before I remove the chrome pieces. Showchrome makes replacement lights but Im sure theyll last as long as the originals. I have over 4 years on the Ozniums and have no problems with them whatsoever and I have a few on the old girl.

Dave looking at your pics are yours yellow? My lenses are orange and with LEDs you usually buy the lights the color the lenses are.
