Bulb replacemet the quick way

[Doctor T]

One of my sidelight bulbs blow. Thinking this is here we go, scratched and bloody hand time. Then i had a thought. Now this is for my 2007 model but may work on bikes upto 2010
1. pop the mirror cases off. A slap of a hand on the back of these will work.
2. undo the 2 screws on each side by the speaker covers.
3. undo the 2 screws on top of the panel.
4. By pulling this panel forward gently you can get access to all the bulbs.

The screws are in the position marked in red.
In all, it took me just 10 minutes to change all the bulbs. I decided to change the dip and full beam bulbs at the same time.

I agree, good to know how to change bulbs without hurting hands, thank you.

Has anyone tried this method on a different make or model of vehicle, and if so, did it work for them as well?

Easy one this -
Push mirror bottom outer corner until top right hand corner fully out
Remove screw in hole behind mirror
Indicator assembly drops out
Reach through to back of sidelight bulb
Feel for L shaped lever, operate and remove bulb

Not more than 10 mins to do both sides (I just fitted LED Performance bright white running lights and indicator bulbs)
