Removing the headlight bulbs with just the service panel off

[Corsacreek]

I see a lot of members here stating that it is a complicated task to remove and replace the oem headlight bulbs. So to demonstrate that it is possible to do it with just the service panels off, I made a quick vid showing the simple process. I picked the left side because it is the hardest to do. The right side is much easier.

I have aftermarket LED headlights on mine that were installed with just the service panels off. I don't recommend this to non-mechanic skilled individuals or people who are afraid to just about everything...

Would be nice.....

If all could do that. I don't know how that particular bulb is held in place but some can be a bear. The RS is tough but doable through the side panel when airbox is removed but you can not see what you are doing and usually get minor cuts and abrasions...:banghead:

Good job. I think my hands are too big and I have too much junk packed in there now but nice to see it can be done. :bowdown:

I concur, this is one of those jobs that the local neighborhood mechanic would do for $20. You would struggle the whole day and he would do it in 5 minutes with a cigarette in his mouth.

My skills were polished in the Army. I would spent several hours cursing up a storm trying to installed parts on my aircraft following the manual while my platoon sergeant sat and laugh and finished the job in 5 minutes.
