    Oh yes,going blue ahead .......

    Hi guys !

    This weekend the weather would be nice.......well........kind of (49 degrees)

    So i'm taking the chance to replace my head light bulbs.......However i have no clue how to get those old bulbs outter the housing,i tried last week,no success.

    Gustavo...you ARE aware of the search function, right?

    Took me two minutes, using "headlight bulb" as a search...

    You can thank me later...

    I'm with Ldub on promoting the use of the search function... it's the quickest way to an answer, everyone. Posting and waiting around for someone to reply with a useful answer is pretty slow...

    That said, once you get at the bulb, getting your fingers in there and pressing the tabs on each side of the bulb stem is not super-easy. Skinny fingers help (I have fat little breakfast sausages for fingers, so I have a tough time. I've gotten one particularaly stubborn one off by using a pair of channel-lock pliers to get in there and squeeze the tabs.

    Blue headlight bulbs, huh? You're going to be one of those guys, I see... Oh, Gussie, Gussie, Gussie... what are we going to do with you??

    Good luck!

    Well,today i had the blue/white bulbs installed,every thing wnet smooth as expected,however i had to remove the air filter box & the battery to gain better access,removing the bulbs outter the housing was bit frustating because of the hard wire that hold the bulbs in place.

    I also added a small switch to turn off the nozzle's blue LED just in case cops gets rude,even though here in NYC cops somehow doesn't matter seeing those blue,red,white,gree,violet LED colors all over the city.
