Bike headlight fix

Last72 2019. 9. 19. 21:49

The headlight was gone last night. It went off when I changed the gear from nutral to 1st gear. Short ride didn't helped. The bulb looks fine from outside.

The day after, I tried to disasemble the fairngs but one bolt was stuck and gave up. I found an YouTube guide that tell me about how to change it. The bulb was broken and I swaped the broken to the high-beam light.

 

Top bulb was bunt and bottom one is working (Size T7). The bike works after the swap.
