ST1300 headlight Bulbs

[Pete54]

Hi to all!!,  just a small problem, started the 13 yesterday and noticed the right hand small light ( the ones mounted above & left and right of the main head lights was not working. Has anyone tried to replace any of these & if so how in the name of god do I attempt to do this without tearing what hair I have left completely out!!!!.  :||| why does Honda make hard work of what should be a 5 minute job??, also if I do manage to get at the bulb ( after completely disassembling the bike) could I replace with coloured led bulbs????........cheers .....pete ...

They are Daylight Running Lights, and you'll find that they must be white by law.  There are LED replacements available from auto shops like AutoCheap.
You're right about access- it's not easy.

Was chatting to Brian about those the other night as I wanted to change mine. Was told that the faring from the bottom and the side had to come off to get access. Wasn't possible to stick hand under from front unless u r double jointed with a tiny hand. A challenge accepted.

changed mine over when I converted the h/lights to HID.  I believe that it is easiest to do them with the headlight removed.  The sockets are a rubber like material that fit tightly into the headlight. When removing be careful and remove directly rearwards as the bulbs are simply push in type and if you catch them whilst removing through the opening, there is a chance they may come out and fall into the headlight area
