Outboard headlights (dipped beam)
Replacement bulb: H7 55 watt.
Turn the front wheels to full left or right lock. This will provide
room for you to reach into the wheel arch to remove the headlight
access panel.
Rotate the turnbuckle a quarter turn to left or right to release the
access panel (see upper inset). Push the panel up as far as it will go
and then disengage the bottom of the panel to remove.
1. With the access panel removed, reach behind the headlight
and pull to remove the rubber cover.
2. Pull the electrical connector from the back of the headlight
bulb.
3. Unhook the wire securing clip.
4. Remove the bulb.
When replacing the bulb, the following tips will make the job
easier.
•
Always remove the electrical connector BEFORE unhooking
the wire securing clip.
•
Examine the illustration carefully to see how the wire securing
clip (3) works.
•
Before replacing the electrical connector, refer to the
illustration to check which way round the connector needs to
be to enable it to fit onto the spade-type contacts on the bulb.
Replacement of the bulb is a reversal of the removal process.
NOTE: When replacing the bulb, ensure the squared tab on the bulb
mounting plate (4) is vertically aligned. Insert the new bulb fully and hold
in this position while fitting the wire securing clip, and before attaching the
electrical connector.
