F3S Headlight Removal - HELP!!!

[trobbins27]

I have the F3S model which is different from the F3T.

GOOD NEWS:
I will be producing an install video for the LED's for the "F3S" this coming weekend.

Thanks though for your post and attempt to help.

Did this video ever get made? I have a 2015 F3S and would be interested to see what you did :doorag:

i had to remove the entire headlight assembly

As someone with larger than average hands, I removed the entire assembly in order to save my sanity and the skin on the knuckles. There is a flexible metal cable that attached the rear of the headlight housing to the spyder frame and is held in place with a retaining clip. If you watch the above posted SpyderHands video (awesome BTW) you can see the cable and clip at the 5:43 mark. the clip is to the right and a hair north of the two stickers on the exposed body. Once you slide the clip out and push the cable end in, the entire headlight assembly can be removed and that allowed me to install the LED's and replace the rubber boot without too much cussing, that came when getting the cable back into the slot and reinstalling the retainer. Ran the Lamonster fog rings at the same time so not too bad for the end results

I believe the cable and clip you are referring to are the headlight adjusters. Be careful with these as they seem to be rather fragile
