Headlight Bulb Replacement

The headlight assembly has two bulbs
one for the right and one for the left
reflector. To replace one or both
headlight bulbs:
• Lift the hood to expose the back
side of the headlight assembly.
• Pull both locking tabs away from
light bulb and pull wire harness

reflector by turning counterclock-

thereflector and the tabs on the bulb
are aligned.
• Replace light bulb with like part.
• Align the tabs on the light bulb and
the notches in the reflector and
insert light bulb.
• Turn light bulb clockwise to lock in

make sure that the locking tabs are
seated on the light bulb.
Tail Light Bulb Replacement
Each tail light assembly has two
lightbulbs. Access the back side of the
tail lights from under the rear fender.
NOTE: Because of the close proximity
of the fuel tank, extreme caution
should be taken when removing the
tail light sockets from the reflector
housings. The bulbs can be pulled
from the sockets and dropped into the
reflector housing, which will then
require removal of the reflector
housing to retrieve the bulb.
To replace a light bulb:
• Turn the light bulb socket
counterclockwise to align the tabs
on the socket with the notches in
the tail light reflector.
• Once aligned pull light socket out of
the tail light reflector.
• Pull the light bulb from the socket.
• Replace light bulbs with like part.
• Align the tabs of the socket with the
notches in the reflector and carefully
insert the socket.
• Turn socket clockwise to lock in
place. Make sure the socket is
locked securely in place.
