Replace A Harley Driving Light







Driving lights provide additional light to improve safety.


Harley-Davidson equips some motorcycle models with driving lights, or the bikes may have light bars retrofitted. Driving lights generate almost as much light as the headlight, and project it forward and onto the road. The increased light output can contribute to safety, as the road conditions ahead are more visible to the rider, and the bike is more visible to other traffic. Driving lights can fail due to heavy use or vibration. Replacement of the light poses no difficulty and requires no special tools.


Instructions








1. Locate the trim bezel screw at the bottom of the light housing. Loosen and remove the trim bezel screw with a screwdriver. Remove the trim bezel from the light housing.


2. Slowly remove the driving light from the housing a few inches. Loosen the light wiring terminal screws with a screwdriver. Remove the wiring terminals from the light.


3. Hold the new driving light near the housing. Install the wiring terminals onto the new driving light and tighten the screws securely.


4. Gently push the new driving lamp into the housing. Install the trim bezel ring over the housing and driving light. Install and tighten the trim bezel screw securely with a screwdriver.


5. Loosen the trim bezel screw slightly and rotate the driving light to change the aim point of the driving light, if desired.
