I'll have to remember that. Whenever a bulb goes out in any car, dad has me do it. LOL

My method does not have anything to do with the size of my arm. I can't reach from the top because I shattered my wrist in motorcycle accident 3 years ago and it does not bend like "normal" people's. I also used this method to switch out my headlight bulbs. Much easier for me.

Ewwww what kind of bike were you riding? What happened?

Actually I'd like to see that procedure for the headlight replacement.

If you must know I was riding a quad, 1987 Honda TRX250R, and overshot a 40' table top and landed in the flat. I broke both bones in my right arm and had to have them both surgically repaired. 1 pin a a plate with 3 screws. It was a blessing in desguise because I sold all of my toys quad, trailer, ect. And bought a Vette. To replace the headlights just reach way up in there and twist them out and back in. You may have to move the brake duct out of the way a bit. Good luck. Pic of the bike below

I did it this way. Was a little hard to get to. I replaced the stock bulbs with 885's (I think) and put about 20 turns on the adjuster to raise the lights up some.
