backtothebird Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Good Morning Recently gone back to a 1998 Blackbird with just 26,000 on clock. Last weekend regulator/rectifier problems (Damn) new battery and rectifier fitted and charging ok. However low bean bulb blew so question is can you replace it by just removing to side infills or does whole Fairing have to come off (Please say yes) Your Help appreciated Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmeupto125 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 You don't have to take off any panels, just reach up underneath. Not so easy to do, though. You'll find some new ways to bend your arm, and probably some new words as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poida Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 i find it fairly easy to replaced the low beam bulb by just removing the infill panels that sit under the dash. swing the clip that holds the bulb holder in place out of the way without removing it completely and it makes it easier when clipping the holder back in place.no biggie if it comes away though,its just a bit more fiddling around to get it back in place.

Furbird Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I've done HID swap without removing the fairing, so yes, you can do it. HIGHLY recommend you go ahead and switch to a QUALITY LED setup. Buy once, cry once. And in this case, cut your arm up once 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampNut Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 How big are your hands? You can find a photo online of the back of the housing, and then picture that as you wind your hands way up in there. It's a bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampNut Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 This LED worked great in the XX, and while it's no longer available in this listing, it might give you a lead on buying it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NXS9RHB?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
