vetter faring headlamp replacement

[Pete Gierer]

the headlamp on my gs1100g with vetter windjammer faring went out on my last trip...I would like to change the lamp but do not know how to remove the ring to free the lense and allow removal of the lamp...went out to the garage a few minutes ago with all the confidence in the world that I could remove the ring and lense, secure the lamp and get a replacement (%&$#&*&(*)...!!?!
Can anyone give me advice as to how to do this.
The headlight is round and has a tab near the bottom that I suspect has something to do with removing the chrome ring (x#$*^&) can't figure out how to make anything work.
Will have a beer and hope there is someone kind enough to respond...

Easy as pie! Grab the ring with both hands, press that tab with one finger, turn the ring counter-clockwise. It just screws off. The tab may be hard to press. If you have a sealed beam, get an H6024, For a bulb try a H9003. Any parts house should have them. Ask for the brightest (highest output) version of the one you need. Good luck.

Thanks!!

It worked great. You are right the tab was hard to push but managed to get the ring off pretty quickly. Replaced the lamp and am back in the saddle.
Appreciate the help!!
