Thanks for posting this - it was super helpful getting to the option plug as well as the speedometer/combo meter. My option plug actually only has two wires, but the third blue wire appears to be tucked down further in the vinyl covering (just in case anyone needed it I guess).
Another example of how the designers and engineers should have to work on the stuff they design....kind of a pain to replace a light or access the accessory plug...thanks for the video.
Finally did this because I had to replace the turn signals anyways. The "rotating out" part did not work for me, I think It did for you because some latches where already broken ;) What did work is putting a prying tool (I used a screwdriver, better use something out of plastik though) into those slots that can be seen around 4:59 and wiggling around.. than the latches popped open.
AWESOME VIDEO! I'm going to install a LED Headlight for my 2015 Honda CB500F and it was nice to see how to take the headlight faring apart. Thank you for your time my friend and I'm going to need that "luck" you were talking about at the very end. :)
I sure will. I'm ordering a LED conversion kit this weekend from CycleGear.com. I'll be installing it, hopefully, within the following week. I'll subscribe to your TH-cam channel and check out more of your videos. Thanks again my friend for the videos, and I'm happy to be one of the CB500F riders out on the street. :)
Thanks Chris! Can you make a short video with your devices connected? Honda sells a connection kit for the under seat option for $100+. It would be interesting to see what your final fit and finish looks like compared to Honda's.
SO I took a fall last night and broke my front signal light. lucky for me that was the only thing the break when I went down. Stupid gravel on the road in a turn. BTW I am so sore lol. But it there an easier way for me to connect a newsignal without taking off the whole front fairing?
Hi Chris. I have a CB500F from 2016 and want to change the front turn signals but I have no idea how to remove them. any tips? Thanks and regards Ingo from Germany
this was very interesting. im wondering if it is maybe for the abs somehow that maybe didnt come on your model but was in place for others? Regardless it has me potentially wanting to do this. What year was this model of cb500f?
Hi Chris. For the MT090 waterproof crimp connectors, where did you go to get them? Did you go to local Honda store or did you buy them from an online Honda store? If it was an online purchase, where was the website?
Thank you. Thank you, I have a CB500x and have been trying to get in behind the front fairing. Your video is thus far the best info I’ve found.

this video saved me a lot of time and a lot of money

Cool! Let me know how it goes!

Thanks for this. It looks pretty tricky compared with accessing the option plug which is under the seat - which I'm using for now.
"Thats a little tricky to take off" but doesn't show how! Lol everything else was super helpful though thanks!
thanks a lot, this so helpful on my old 2013
Glad it helped! I sold mine last year. I miss it.
@ChrisRaabe oh noh! Have you tried or do you have any idea if those stock bulbs can be upgraded to LED bulbs without any issue?
@@dexjapitan I never tried but I don't imagine it would be a problem
Thanks, very helpful for my cb500x too.

Thanks a ton! This will save me from destroying a bunch of components and getting really pissed. :)
Thanks for the DIY man. Great work!
You're a hero! Thanks for posting!
+Tom Carmack Were you able to get the cover off successfully?
Haven't tried it yet, but now I know I can!
I was hoping for instruction on how to get to the actual bulb, do you have a video for that?
Thanks, useful information!
Please make some more videos!

Just did the same thing and this video really helped avoid making a bad situation far worse. Who knew about the hidden Aux conector?

I can’t even get the hex bolts out without them stripping 😂
Any chance of showing how to take off tail side cowl?
What's the point of the connector if its hidden so far into the headlight
Need this front unite for my 2014cb500f
very helpful

Super useful. Thanks

I got them at a local auto parts store in Tokyo. I don't think they are particular to Honda. Good luck!
worked great for me.
Thanks for the feedback Jeremy! I'm really glad to hear that!
Chris Raabe next time show the 5 or so boltsnto get the side off. Why did Honda make the turn signals so brittle?
Well explained :-)
