Head light - zebadee86 - 07-11-15
Hi
Are the headlight units on 99-00 model sealed units?
The small bit that covers the bulb has come off and is rattling around inside the headlight and it is very annoying :eek

With a bit of jiggery pokery you can remove it out of the right bulb hole if i remember correctly.
And yes they are sealed.

If your struggling to get it out and don't want to remove the light unit from the bike, use a long soft implement such as a pipe cleaner or a few twisted together to make one long one and a small hook at the end to catch the shield.

I fished mine out through the rght hand side bulb orifice using some locking wire, twisted at the end to make a sort of lasso.
Was a bit of a fiddle but it was out in a couple of minutes.

Remove it from the bike, remove all bulbs, screws, metal clips etc etc, put the headlight in a low oven for 20 mins. (Do not place it lens down on the wire rack!) This will soften the glue that holds the two sections together and enable you to pull it apart. Then do your repairs, place both pieces back in the oven & again do not place it lens down. 20 mins later the glue will be soft enough to push the two pieces back together.
Job done and you can strut around the garage in the knowledge that you are truly a man that fixes stuff.
