Anyway, looking for information.
The H4 bulb on my 26 year old Beemer is extremely difficult to access. It is difficult to get one hand into the socket. I was able to remove the three prong plug, followed by the rubber boot. At this point I was able to loosen the wire clamp that holds the H4 in place. Unfortunately, the wire clamp came loose from the socket. I did remove the bulb, but find it nearly impossible to install the new H4 bulb.
I think I may have broken the 26 year old H4 socket.
Does anyone know, from experience with either older Beemers or Guzzis, whether the wire clip is supposed to stay attached to the H4 socket, or if it is normal for it to become loose and fall away from the socket?
I'm afraid bulb replacement may result in me having to totally remove lots of parts including the small fairing on the 1991 R100GS. At this point, I may simply turn this fiddly (supposedly simple) task over to a good BMW mechanic.
Sad day when I have to admit I can't change a head light bulb! This is a two hand job with one hand access. Crap!
