Small lights either side of the 2015 LED headlight unit

0n the 2015 LED headlights, on either side there is what appears to be 'side-lights', or what would be called that if the bike did not have permanent-on (LED) headlights.
In practical terms, they serve no real purpose as they are much less bright than the LED headlights themselves.
Do you know the ones I mean?
I would like to play around with the idea of replacing those with either blue ones (strangely not illegal here in Japan) or amber ones (like running lights on some cars.
Anyone know whether they can be accessed / replaced?
Thanks.

Could you please post an annotated diagram or photo so we can see what it is you're referring to?
I have a 2013, and I just can't picture what your headlight assembly looks like. There are '15 owners here though. If they could see what you mean, they likely can help.

I will try to do that when I can, thanks.

If you're referring to what the manual calls "position lights" (we call them parker/parking lights in Aus), I'm interested in changing mine out for some super bright LEDs. If they are the same on the LED model as the OWL, they would be called W5W/T10/wedge bulbs. Which you can get in different colors.

My mistake.
I just had a proper look, rather than a glance, and what I mentioned is in fact the turn signal / indicator lights.
Good job I am not in charge of anything important!
