Default How to remove Headlight bulb on Road Glide
My neighbor has a roadglide. We got the fairing off, and removed the soft rubber cup off the back of one headlight. There is a hard black plastic piece the holds the bulb in the reflector. How do you get the hard black plastic piece off, does it unscrew or do you pry it off with a screw driver....we just don't want to do the wrong thing and screw things up...
Thanks..

Should just be a hinged spring loaded wire held in place under a clip.
Unclip it, it'll fold over, bulb should slide right out.

There is no hinged spring loaded wire like my softail. It has a large
black plastic ring...and we tried to unscrew it but it didn't budge...and don't want to force it if that's wrong.

Lefty loosey. It screws on. Pushing in a bit while turning might help.
