I have a 2012 RS SE5. The Headlights will not come on. Fog lights work fine as well as turn signals, brakes etc. I change out the fuse underneath the seat. I have removed the front cluster and the housing cap for the bulb. However I cannot figure out how to detach the bulb so that I can insert the replacement. The manual says: "Remove the bulb by releasing both clips with a small flathead screwdriver." I am unable to find the clips that it's referring to. Please help. Thanks in advance.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Have you check the relay in the fuse box? I know my 2011 has a relay, I imagine the 2012 does as well. It could be loose or even bad.

Thanks for your reply Jim. To answer your question, no I haven't checked the relay. To be honest I'm not sure where it is even located. This is my 1st attempt to do any sort of mechanical adjust on my bike. I was able to follow the manual and access the headlight housing. The problem is trying to access the connector to get it to turn counterclockwise so I can release the bulb itself. It's a tight fit trying to get my fingers in there. A buddy of mine seems to agree with you that it's strange that both headlights would go out at the same time, Instantly. I took it to get serviced a while back but didn't know the lights weren't working until I went on a ride and a buddy told me they weren't on. Its possible the dealership may have knocked something lose. Can you let me know where the relay is? In the mean time I'll see if I can locate it thru the manual.

Again, not sure if the 2012 is the same but if you open the frunk there is an additional fuse/relay box on the left side. I would check those and make sure they are all tight. Your owners manual should tell you the exact location. As for removing the bulbs, I can't help you there, I've not yet tried to remove one. Good luck!
