3. Disconnect headlamp harness from bulb and remove headlamp housing assembly.
Bulb Replacement
When replacement is required, use only the specified
sealed beam unit or bulb, available from a Harley Davidson
dealer. An improper wattage sealed beam or bulb, can
cause charging system problems. (00209a)
NOTE:
The headlamp uses a replaceable quartz halogen bulb which is very delicate and must be
handled with care.
1. See Headlamp Housing Assembly. Remove rubber boot (1).
2. Rotate retainer (2) counterclockwise and remove.
Handle bulb carefully and wear eye protection. Bulb
contains gas under pressure, which, if not handled
carefully, could cause serious eye injury. (00062b)
3. Remove and discard bulb.
Never touch the quartz bulb. Fingerprints will etch the
glass and decrease bulb life. Handle the bulb with paper or
a clean, dry cloth. Failure to do so could result in bulb
damage. (00210b)
4. See Headlamp Housing Assembly. Install new bulb in headlamp housing. Be sure tab (5)
on bulb is aligned with slot (6) in bulb housing.
5. Install retainer (2) and rotate clockwise to secure.
6. Install rubber boot (1) over retainer until flush with base of bulb socket.
7. HDI models: Rotate position lamp bulb retainer 1/4 turn counterclockwise to remove.
Replace bulb and install bulb retainer in lamp housing.
