1. Raise the windshield adjuster levers on either side to the up position.
2. Start to peel the rubber lip away from the mirror cover, beginning at the back and working upward.
3. Continue peeling the rubber lip away from the plastic mirror cover all the way around until it is completely detached. Take note that at the bottom rear, the rubber must be pulled toward the rear of the bike in order to detach it - this should be done after all of the rest of the rubber has been detached.
4. Gently pull the bottom of the mirror cover to unclip it from the fairing.
5. While holding the rubber back, pull the mirror cover free of the fairing, and let it drop down.
6. Expose and remove the two screws holding the chrome windshield trim in place (as shown). On 1994 and earlier Goldwings, remove the two screws holding the black plastic trim (below the windshield trim) in place and remove the black plastic trim.
7. Remove the two screws holding the windshield trim.
8. Slide the windshield trim to the right to unhook the lower tabs, then lift it away from the windshield.
9. Remove the screw holding the turn signal assembly in the fairing.
10. Gently remove the turn signal from the fairing. There is enough wire behind it that you can let it dangle down if need be.
11. While holding the turn signal in one hand, gently turn the bulb socket counter-clockwise (left) until it stops, then pull it free of the turn signal.
12. 1998, 1999 and 2000 Goldwings use a wedge bulb, Honda part number 34906-MN8-911 which is specified only as 12V23/8W. It can be replaced with any generic 7443 type automotive bulb. GL1500's earlier than 1998 use a standard 1157 type automotive bulb.
13. On 1998, 1999 and 2000 Goldwings, simply pull the bulb out of the socket (you may need to wiggle it a bit). On GL1500's earlier than 1998, the bulb has a bayonet base: the bulb needs to be pushed in and rotated left (counter-clockwise). It will then release from the socket. To replace the bulb, reverse the procedure. You can also replace the bulb with an LED equivalent, as shown.
14. Replace the bulb in the turn signal, and rotate it clockwise (to the right) until it locks in place.
15. Replace the turn signal and screw it into place. Be careful not to over-torque the screw, as the plastic of the turn signal will crack.
16. Engage the fairing tabs in the slots in the windshield fairing, and slide the windshield fairing to the left to lock it in place.
17. Replace and tighten the screws holding the windshield fairing in place. If working on a 94 or earlier GL1500, replace the black plastic trim and the two screws holding it in place.
18. Holding the rubber back on each mirror, slide each mirror cover back into place.
19. Once in place, gently push each of the mirror cover clips until it latches onto the fairing.
20. Hook the rubber over the rear of the mirror cover, then work the lip around the circumference.
21. Once the rubber lip is around the circumference, push the locking tabs into their slots.
22. Lower the windshield locking levers into their locked positions.
