Installing right side low beam head light (H7) on 2005 R1200RT

[rbryson]

I have seen several videos showing how this is done, but I can not get my hands into the area to do this. Do I need to remove some tupper ware and if so, do I need to remove all the Tupperware or just the right side? Thanks for your help.

What about the bottom thread in the Similar Threads pane at the bottom of the screen? Maybe some good info there.

Some people with small hands have no problem but I could never get the hang of it and just opted to remove the whole light assembly once a year and replace all bulbs and do a good clean up with it out of the way. Got it down to 30 minutes and no pain involved! If you have never seen the spring clips that hold the bulbs in here are a few videos that may help.

Also it is a good idea to replace the cheap plastic bulb connectors with ceramic as they get brittle and break easily over time.
