changing my headlight - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

citizenstitch · 10-03-2005, 05:06 PM

I just changed my headlight (bulb). It was painless and quick. I had no idea what to expect until i just started guessing. All i had to do was unplug the wire remote the rubber gromet thing and unclip the bulb and it was out. However the light i got did not have that blue tint like the old one does, I hope it doesnt look funny or i will be doing it again soon.

You by chance didn't handle the light bulb with your bare hands while changing it did you???

Nothing beats a good service manual ...

I replaced the factory H4 bulb with a 9003CB "Cool Blue" bulb from Autozone, the blue tinted bulb makes a big difference.
