SPOTLIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
To replace either or both H3 type 12 volt bulbs, you will need a small Phillips type
screwdriver and a replacement bulb (or bulbs). Bulb life can be shortened by
installing a bulb with dirt or fingerprints on it. The bulb can be wiped clean with a
cloth moistened with alcohol. During bulb installation, avoid touching the glass part
of the bulb. Note which bulb is burned out.
1. Disconnect the unit from any charging adapters.
2. Pull the rubber bezel towards the front of the spotlight to reveal two small
Phillips screws in the wide Reflector Assembly Retainer. The screws are on
opposite sides of the retainer.
3. Using the screwdriver, remove (counterclockwise) the two screws. Set them aside.
4. Lift off the retainer, glass lens and rubber ring and set them aside.
5. Carefully remove the dual reflector and bulb assembly (see above.)
6. Disconnect the bulb wire from the red power wire and set the burned out bulb
aside.
7. Unsnap the hairpin retaining wires from the reflector’s flange (see above).
8. Using the screwdriver, loosen the retaining screw to remove the bulb from the
reflector (no need to completely remove this screw).
9. Lift out the bulb and the attached wire.
10. Insert the replacement bulb into the reflector’s flange.
11. Put back and secure the hairpin retaining wires.
12. Connect the white bulb power wire to the red power wire.
