My low beam bulb burned out. From the knowledge vault I found out that it is a standard bulb available at auto part stores. I have the service manual but I am still not sure of how to replace the bulb. Do I have to remove my fairing to get to the headlight assembly. Do I have to remove the headlight assembly from the holder if I remove the fairing? Also, if I remove the fairing and headlight assembly, do I have to realign the lights after reassembly? |

man, its been awhile, but from what i remember i thought you could just reach up behind the headlights and turn the back of the bulb and pull it out. i could be wrong but it seems as though there is plenty of room behind therm for that. i think??? there is a big rubber cap over the back of the headlight assembly covering the bulb up though that is easily removable. |

Reach up and pull the rubber cap off. Release the springs that hold the lamp in. Unplug the wire. Reverse with new lamp. |

Thanks guys. It was a 3 min job. For some reason I did not realize that the rubber boot just slipped off. That is why I was thinking I had to remove the whole headlight assembly. Sometimes I miss the obvious. Thanks again. |

Don't touch the glass of the bulb - oils from your fingers will shorten its' life. Grab a set of SilverStars to replace with. |

What about taking the "shroud" thing off of the lowbeam? Has anyone done this? |
