Re: installing head lamps

Postby dlmorgan on Wed Feb 15, 2012 8:11 pm

Just got a 2007 k1200r sport. I purchased the h7 Sylvania Silverstar Ultra for low and high beam. After removing the sealed cover on the low,
I unlatched the spring clip. The problem is that I can't remove the bulb from the socket. Any help is appreciated. thanks. Dean

Hi Dean, welcome to the forum :)

Usually the lamp fits in the hub with no play and a little pressure, is necessary to take off pulling with some force, don't worry nothing will be broken. Be sure the spring is totally out of the lamp, must turn aprox. 100°down.
Hope this helps you...

Used to have Xtreme power from Philips and now want to try Philips Diamond Vision Power. Has anyone chance to try those bulbs? Comparing to Power Xtreme, preferably.

I put the 1off motorsports HID on my bike. I love it. Best upgrade to my bike yet. I ride a lot at night. The high beams are great so I just got the low beam upgrade. It was a super easy install. I got the 6K upgrade that has a slight blue tint. I seem to be a lot more visible even in the day time. Cars just move out of my way. I love it.
