    Hey Guys im new here, had my 2001 VFR for about 6 months now and just getting started with the mods!

    First off, i just want to know how the heck to get the stock headlight bulb out, and put in some new brighter ones. I have the new brighter bulbs here, and i am told they will fit the '01 model, but i wasnt told how to do it. I have called dealers and they say i can bring it in, but that already sounds like wasted money....

    Ok, i can feel/see the rubber gasket holding the stock bulbs in. Do i take that off? I can also feel around the housing of the stock bulb and feel some flanges, but i have tried pushing, pulling, and twisting them every-whichway but with no success. Or do i have to take off the front headlight fairing piece?? i am clueless, ANY help, pictures or diagrams would be appreciated. Thank you! ???

    Hi Ya.....Yea ....Just pull the boot off its just to keep the water out.
    There is a small brass color wire clip that you have to push down and out then it pops out .
    Clip will not fall out ...after you do it a few times its a snap.

    We taked about this before in another tread if you want look around.
    You can use a Auto blub... bend the tabs over a small wire ...like from a hanger. Heck of alot cheaper.
    Send me an e-mail...I think I have a photo some where...
