GW 1800 Headlight Bulb Replacement

[Eck]

For high beam bulb

Remove the fairing pocket

Turn the handle bars all the way the other direction so you can reach in.

Disconnect the headlight connector.

Remove the rubber boot /dust cover and slide the cover up on the wiring.

Unhook the bulb retainer, remove the bulb socket and replace the headlight bulb with a new one.

Avoid touching a halogen headlight bulb.

Finger prints can create hot spots that cause a bulb to break.

If you have an airbag bike, changing the right high beam is virtually impossible (well, really hard, anyway) even if you remove the shelter. They have surrounded it with everything.

 

 

Low Beam bulb replacement:

Turn the handle bars all the way the other direction so you can reach in.

Work off the rubber boot/ dust cover… it comes of easy and slide the cover up on the wiring.

Unplug the wiring harness.

When you get this far you should be able to see the spring clip that holds the bulb assembly.

I used my finger, but if you cannot un-hook the spring use something like a pick with a hook on it and hook it into the loop on the spring clip. Pull gently and this should allow the clip to swing away from the assembly. Do not remove the screw on the clip assembly.

Lift the assembly i.e. the rubber plug and the bulb out.

Unplug the bulb from the rubber plug.

Do not touch the new bulb when you are putting it in, replace the bulb and reassemble.[/font][/b]
