999 Headlight Bulb

Discussion in 'Technical Help' started by slumdog, Nov 8, 2015.

  1. Just a quicky - 999 bottom front bulb gone , know that you take the speedo out to get at the top bulb ,but how do you get to the bottom one ???
     
  2. Unfortunately it is a nose cone off job :(
     
  3. Okay thanks ....
     
  4. I think I changed mine just taking bottom plastic cover off. 4 allen screws.

  5. nose cone ( if ness ) is not atually a big job..:upyeah:
     
  6. Yep, the fairing comes away easily. The mirrors are a little tricky when routing the wires again.

    Whilst here, can I ask what bulb it is, is it HB3 or HB4??
     
  7. If that works it will save loads of time :upyeah:

  8. It's a little bit fiddly but much less fiddly than reinstating the mirrors and indicator wiring if you take the nose cone off.
    The fiddly bit is getting the plastic plate out and then back in again. The screws and the bulb are no problem, it's the plate itself that's a fiddle.
    While you're replacing the bulbs, get Osram Nightbreakers, much brighter and whiter than standard. Get a pair from Autobulbs, both are the same.
