Replacing headlight bulbs

Hi, pals.<br><br>Just got X-tra white (more properly bluish) H4 and H7 bulbs to replace stock ones in my 97 T-Ace. Can anyone tell me how difficult is the task? Does it involve front fairing disassembling or just a "tricky-hand" job from behind?<br>Thanks.<br><br>Marc. <p></p><i></i>

If its from behind you should see and be able to pull out the headlight electrical plug and then the black rubber "cap". Undo the spring/clamp etc....Oh, and don't forget not to touch the bulb AT ALL--I've already had some blow...I think actually they need to be cleaned somehow??? before install b/c who knows who accidently touched them before the box?....I've got 7000K Hi-lite's H4....... <p><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:lime;font-size:medium;">Nbot</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>'94 Fizzer Litre</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>

You can use rubbing alcohol or similar to clean the bulbs.<br><br>Yeah nbot I just installed the H4 6000K xenon bulbs as found on ebay. They are rated at 55 watts. I tried them despite my suspicions that it would overload the hot wires but so far no issues. I feel comfortable enough with them that I have gone and ordered me sets to replace the headlights on my other bikes as well.<br><br>All I can say is big difference from the normal h4's. I can see now. <p>-John</p><i></i>

Yeah mine are 55/60W and ran them even before I did the wiring relay...between the two mods if I walk in front of my bike at night at any distance its pretty bright<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 0] --><img src=
