Replacing Headlight bulb
Hey fellow riders,
Wonder if anybody had any experience on changing a headlight bulb on a 03 Heritage? Is it a H4 bulb or something else? Any input would be helpful. THANKS DAVE.

RE: Replacing Headlight bulb
If it is standard HD issue, it is likely a 55/65 watt H4 Halogen, very straight forward replacement. The most important thing is not to touch the bulb glass with your fingers when you're changing it, the oil creates hot spots on the glass and shortens the bulb's life. If you do leave a print on the bulb, make sure that you clean it good before you reinstall in in the HL reflector.
There are many aftermarket bulbs that work better than the standard issue, you might want to try a Sylvania Silverstar or the like.

RE: Replacing Headlight bulb
The stock headlamp on my 03 Heritage Classic was a sealed beam unit non-Halogen.
I replaced it with the dual bulb Halogen unit.
The same is true for the stock passing lamps, sealed beam. I swapped those for the ones that come stock on the 06 models.
