It ain't high on the 'fun meter' as all the access room you'll need was conviently installed on the next bike back on the production line, and DON'T forget to wipe the bulb with a tissue wet with rubbing alcohol and do not touch the bulb as the oils on your skin will cause it to fail and you'll be back doing it again before your knuckles have healed up. unless you're into creative descriptions and blue language, and, the dealer is REALLY proud of the bulb! BRING MONEY!!!

You'll need to have hands the size of a baby but with the strength of Superman. You'll also need his x-ray vision.
The center bulb isn't half as bad as the main headlights. You can do it!

As stated, the center bulb is easier to get at than the other two. Become very familiar with how the bulb goes in and out first. The metal clip that holds the bulb in place can be broken if it is not done right. If you break the plastic that holds the clip, the whole headlamp assembly has to be replaced.

They say adjust your headlight up ward as far as it will go. Next pull your air filter. Now maybe you can get your hand up there.
If not take the hole front end a part if you do this replace the H-4 bulbs while you there.
Not a fun job here is a good place to get lights

if it is the center bulb . go from under the front of the bike, remove the air filter, pull off wireing plug harness, unclip, bulb comes right out. repeat process in reverse to install. you can hold a small mirror under there to see what you are doing. simple job about 15 minutes.
