I cannot figure out how to change this light bulb? It is the smaller light next to the big head light. I took off the plastic cover. I see a black plastic knob so I unscrewed it but it does not want to come out. It looks like it is connected at the front by wires. Can you explain how to remove this light bulb to install a replacement bulb. Looks easy but I hate to pay to have a mechanic replace a light bulb. Thanks

    There should be a seperate cover just inboard of the head light that you can remove to access that bulb- should be able to replace it without any tools. Good luck! Greg

    Hi I am just trying to do same thing! There are 2 things I can see when I open the cover.
    Is the black thing on top the light bulb socket? I was hesitating to pull it out.... Any suggestions? Thanks

    Its probably just stuck, you turn it and then it should pull out. I'll be happy to show you if you stop by our shop at no charge. Ask for Berny
