Replacing bulbs Before replacing a burnt-out bulb, make sure that the new one complies with voltage and wattage as specified on page 63, "Electric System", for that lighting device. Always check for new bulb proper operation before refitting removed parts. Headlamp To gain access to headlamp bulbs proceed as follows: Reassembly: insert the locating pegs of the bulb base into their seats to obtain correct alignment. Hook the clip (4, fig. 35.2) to the headlamp holders; reconnect the cables and refit the rubber cover (1, fig. 35.2). To change the parking light bulb, the headlamp fairing must be removed first (see page 37). Undo the horn fastening screw and remove the horn. Pull out the bulb holders (5, fig. 35.3) from the rim-reflector assembly. Remove the bulb and fit a new one. E Disassembly: low beam bulb (fig. 35.1): remove the rubber cover (1). Press the lower quick-release button to disconnect the connector (2). L.h. high beam bulb (fig. 35.2): disconnect the connector (3) of the white bulb cable from the front wiring, remove the rubber cover (1) from the headlamp body and pull out the bulb cable. Note The black ground mass cable connector does not need to be disconnected to replace the headlamp bulbs. Release the clip (4) that secures the bulb and remove it from the socket (fig. 35.1 and 35.2). Note Be careful to hold the new bulb at the base only. Never touch the transparent body with your fingers or it will blacken resulting in reduced bulb brilliancy. 46
