Default headlight help
I have a 2003 Road King and want to change out the headlight. How do I get the front trim ring off? I took out the sheet metal screw at the bottom of the ring and now all it does is spin. What's the trick? Thanks

It most likely has a small metal tab that is inserted into a slot on the inner housing at 12 o'clock...try lifting the ring from its normal position and that should do it (same as my Ultra)

With my '05 Road King Classic I just gave it a tug at the bottom and it popped right off (after removing the screw).

Thanks to all. That got it. I just thought I was going to screw something up by pulling on it like that.

Did you go to a brighter bulb or what?
