i have a 2000 F4 thats in need of a headlight bulb replacement. i bought a nice new sylvania silverstar H4 bulb, and checked the owners manual for how to replace it. it didnt say anything in there. i downloaded the service manual. its about the most vague crap imagineable. so i was hoping you guys could help me out. how do i change the bulb? i cant believe im actually asking this but im pretty confused as to what i should be doing. i dont quite understand why honda decided they should be difficult and make their headlight process not easy

i can't believe your asking this too. hahaaa... but remove the upper fairing and just unclip the old bulb and clip in the new one. pretty simple

w00t, finished it last night in teh garage. probably took longer than it needed to, since i was unscrewing the little metal retaining clip that presses on the back of the bulb, didnt realize it was freakin springloaded, so i unscrewed it and it shot off into the massive pile of clutter thats in my parents garage. so it took awhile to find that. other than that it was pretty easy.

the silverstar looks good, only had a chance to turn the light on in the garage, but it looked alot brighter than stock
