Difficulty changing headlight bulbs
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi,

I've been struggling a bit changing the headlight bulb, specifically trying to unscrew the power connector to the bulb using my fingers alone. Think its ok if I buy a 6" wrench to try to loosen it? I probably won't electrocute myself, right lol?

Thanks!

I've never done it on mine but it should be pretty straightforward. Usually you just turn it in one direction or the other and it pops out. And no you won't electrocute yourself...you can also always disconnect the battery.

The connector just rotates. To undo, rotate it counter-clockwise half a turn.

Then, see the paperclip looking tab on the top left? That's the wire retainer clip. You push that in, and the slide it over to release the bulb
