I've picked up some brighter globes on Ebay, and was wondering if anyone knew the quickest way to fit them.... |

Take the front shield off then you can get right in there.Good time to check the horn wire for rubbing too. Gearloose |

If you have to take the head light fixture out do the follwowing 1. remove the bug screen 2. Find a torx scredriver that will fit thru the side aluminum hole on the bracket (you will know what Im talking about when you see it). 3. Remove the 2 screws on either side of the light fixture 4. Remove the bottom screw that adjusts the light fixture up and down range. 5. Unplug the wiring harness, this can be a pain the first time because it has a plastic clip/mounter. 6. do what ya gotta do to the light fixutre. 7. Put the parts back. I found that I could use a SAE Allen wrench to fit in the hole since none of my torx fit in there right. Hope it helps, what bulbs did you get? |

Austin,Torx in the tool kit and a box end wrench or pliers for more leverage.After I cussed my Craftsman Torx set for being to big,I looked in the tool kit. I would like to find a screwdriver torx that would fit thru that hole though. Gearloose |

Yeah - i had a few probs with the size of the holes. But got there in the end. Austin Rider - i picked up H7 XENON HID HEADLIGHT BULBS (Ebay Item #2436899895) for $7 the pair plus postage. They give a nice white light instead of a yellow caste. |
