    I need to replace one of my headlights and the Factory manual(pg. 19-2) is pretty vague on instructions. It said to remove the four mounting screws and then the three bolts,which I did but then it mentions to disconnect the wire coupler? Not sure what they are talking about there. The headlight is loose but It does not seem like it going to come out the opening in the front fairing. Does the front fairing need to come off? What wire coupler are they referring to? How many beers will this take? Thanks!

    I'm pretty sure upper cowl needs to come off for that.
