Headlight/Bulb replacement
- Thread starter billyerds01

Odd, for $20 bulbs you'd think the Silverstars would last. I picked up 6500k xenon bulbs from some Ebay seller for $10/set in Feb '08 and they're still going strong after a year & a half of use. I still have 1 of each bulb new in case the 1st ones go out, but so far they're fine.
I pulled the bottom plastic off the front fairing. It's a tight reach in there but faster than pulling the gauge cluster or entire fairing. 5 push pins and the bottom cover comes off and gives you a somewhat awkward position to access the bulbs but it can be done in about 15 minutes total from start to finish.

Yes it's an old thread... But it was very helpful to a complete newb like me. I pulled the guage which was enough to get the job done. Because I wanted to adjust the angle of both bulbs. I also pulled the bottom plate. I was done in a bit over an hour even with cleaning the areas you don't always get to.
Oh and using PLEDGE does work wonders.
