[QUOTE="RaYzerman19, post: 1130167, member: 18388"] Norm, I imagine it's similar to previous Gen's, might want to consult the owner's manual...... I usually do mine from the top, but some have done it from the bottom..... basically, turn the forks, unplug the headlight connector, pull off the big rubber boot (should be a tab on top or bottom, might be tough the first time, take your time), with a flashlight, look at how the bulb retaining wire is clipped in, then reach in and unclip it, change bulb, re-clip the wire retainer. What I do is put a light film of silicone grease (or silicone spray)around the large ID of the boot, and at the ID of the bulb piece so it slips on easier and comes off easier next time. Don't need much. Then reinstall the rubber boot, might have to push around the OD evenly until it slips in. You'll know if it seated properly. Tight quarters for sure.... if may help to remove the plastic dash panels, but I've done it without removing them. [/QUOTE]
