Just got in my new King Cobra 7" headlight Part #8-477. I'm trying to take it apart so that I can change the bulb out to the Sylvania Silverstar. There is one tiny set screw at the base of the bucket that I have removed. Does ANYONE know how the heck this thing comes apart? I've tried heating the shell, and prying it out. It WILL NOT BUDGE! $135 for a new headlight every time the bulb burns out will get expensive.
****UPDATE****
Finally defeated the evil bastage. WD40 helped. Finally got the inner bezel ring to unscrew. Tricky little mother.
If that's what I think it is,the narrow ring at the edge of the bulb screws off,counter clock wise. I put masking tape on the ring for traction,and holding the headlight in both hands turning the ring with my thumbs.
update: Damn,another necro thread. I'm glad the OP didn't have to wait for 8 years for instructions!
