Sat here after about a hour of swearing and taking chunks out of my knuckles !
hard hard can this be ....
Sun low in the horizon hasn’t helped, as I wear glasses and to get the correct angle to avoid the sun glare I then can’t see what I’m doing !
Managed to get the old one out .... eventually ! The bulb had secured itself into the headlight... so didn’t want to come out !
thought about taking the speedo off to assist, but ever where I turn there’s something else to remove before I get to the bit I need to take off !!
At the moment .... screen off, clock surrounds off, speedo almost off as 2 nuts off ... one I can’t get to (LHS as you look from seat) With spanner OR socket ! So leaving that avenue now !
Was thinking about upper fairing removal .... but that needs mirrors off too !!
Can’t be arsed now !! got the old bulb out ... was going to put my old HIDs in but can’t get the spacer in properly .... so that’s out again !
Tried the older style LED with cooling fins ... and the headlight clip got stuck in the LED casing and I swore some more !
That’s now out !!!
putting an original H7 back in ...... only to find LED’s available the same shape as the original bulb .... so need no spacers!! So I’ve ordered these (good old inter web)
so back out to put a new but old style H7 halogen bulb and when LEDs arrive ... in they will go !
Is there an easy way to do this without the need for bandages ???
I’ve got XXXL sized hands !!
