Hey:
While I run the risk of coming across as a bit of a dunce, I'm looking for some feed back with respect to changing my headlight bulb. I've got my new Cool Blue 9003/H4 bulb and am raring to go. Any suggestions that will save me a little time and a bunch of grief would be appreciated.
I've noticed several screw heads on the sides and bottom of the headlight casing. Do they all come out or are there specific ones I have to pay attention to?
I know, I know, simple stuff, but what the heck. Thanks a million.

There is a screw on the bottom center that comes out first, the top is held in with a tab and rubber grommet, pull out the bottom while wiggling on the top. Then there are 2 screws on the 5 and 7 o'clock position that come out and the headlight assy will come out. The plug onto the bulb will probably be a pain to pull off, I usually pry gently to pop it off. pull off the large rubber boot, there is a wire keeper that holds the bulb in, push in and rotate it a little then it will come back out of the way. Don't touch the glass part of the bulb, I usually put dielectric grease on the bulb spades before I plug them back on so next time it won't be so hard to pull off.. (aftermarket bulbs usually do not last as long as OEM)

Thanks. Will give it a go. I recall having difficulty removing a bulb from one of my other motorcycles, so this will help. Thanks again.

So how did the modification go??

I would like to use the white light as well (matches snort scoop)

What is the actual part number you used, and was there anything else that was needed??


thank you
