I feel incredibly stupid asking this, but I am having a hard time changing my headlight bulb. I'm unable to remove the trim ring because the retainer screw is in a spot that I can not access with a screwdriver. It is almost perfectly lined up with the fork....so I can't fit even the smallest philips head in at an angle to create enough torque to unscrew it.

Am I completely missing something obvious here? Do I need to remove the little headlight hood first? It's driving me nuts, thought this would literally be a less than 10 minute job. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated, thank!

 

I took my trim ring off today to paint it. You may be able to aim the headlight to the right, left if facing the bike, ang get a better angle. If not, pop the cap off the headlight brow with a flathead, loosen the headlight with a 3/4 socket, and then do it.

 

Just remove the 2 bolts holding the eyebrow to the tree, then you can flip the whole thing over to remove the ring and you won't mess up your headlight aim.

 

Awesome, thanks guys. Will do this tomorrow.
