Must be a really stupid headlight question on my RSV, but...

[diversity48]

Just picked up a 2000 RSV. Night vision with this thing is much less than desirable, so the obvious answer after scouring this forum and the internet is to upgrade to an LED! Not just a bulb...the whole assembly. OK, ordered a plug and play Daymaker, split the fairing on the bike (much easier than I expected), and started the job. Baffled right off the bat! Here's the stupid question: (must be stupid because I've searched everywhere on the internet and forums and no one even mentioned it) How does the old headlight come out of the ring? The framework itself attaches to the ring/bucket assembly with two bolts (at 10 and 2) and, of course the large bolt at the bottom which attaches the bottom front of the fairing. Where do I go from here? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Far as I remember, the "headlight" dont come out. It is a built into the frame kind of deal. To change the "lens" part you have to separate it somehow. Some have done it and it work, some have had to find a new headlight because they dont have enough to make work.

Mine came with a new bucket. Take old bucket off and replaced with new one.
