Instructions

    • 1

      Remove the trim around the headlight bulb by unscrewing the bolts with a Phillips screwdriver. This will release the bulb from the housing, so be ready to catch it with a free hand.

    • 2

      Unplug the light bulb from the Moped by pulling it straight out, using your hands. You can follow the wire from the back of the bulb to find the plug.

    • 3

      Install the replacement bulb by plugging it into the harness.

    • 4

      Hold the bulb in the housing and place the trim ring around the bulb. Screw the bolts into place using the screwdriver. This will secure the bulb.

    • 5

      Turn the headlight switch to the "On" position to test if the headlight is working properly.
