Indicator lens. Can it be replaced????

Only if you have splittable headlights, or want to risk baking the headlamp in an oven!
Thats the side light lens you are showing. Indicator is towards the outer corner.

hi very difficult to replace indicator lens or do you infact have a burned/discoloured sidelight lens

 

[Cenick]

Led bulbs work well in both sidelight and indicators making then a lot brighter and therefore more noticeable to others.

Doh doh and doh. It is the sidelight. Can the lens be replaced?

Yes, but you need to split the headlight.

The lens typically burns if using 5W bulb instead of the correct 3W

If it’s the sidelight then it simply pulls out from the back, no need to split the unit.

 

[Olerype]

Perhaps I misunderstand, but if you want to replace the piece in red circle, you would need to split the headlight.

This plastic part can be removed from the rear, it's got two clips that retain it, see photo below.
Sometimes it can be quite difficult as access is tight, but I can definitely confirm that it does come out.

 

[Olerype]

Ok; I stand corrected! However, how you overcome the two retaining clips is a mystery for me.

If you get a thin screwdriver into the slot opposite the square positioning tab and angle it forwards slightly, with a bit of upwards pressure the plastic tabs in the sidelight ‘tube’ will release their hold and it should pop out without any damage. I just practiced with three of my old spare lights and they all popped out fine. I’m guessing they could even be modified to be able to replace them by 180 degrees so as to hide any burned areas.
