Swapping the sidelight bulb

How do you swap the sidelight bulb? I've recently upgraded the main headlights, but now need to get a nice whiter light in the sidelight/position light.
I've removed the 2 front screws, and the whole light wobbles - but I can't get it to pop out it's hole!

Any hints?

Use a pair of pliers to pull on the bulb or the surround as your not gonna use the bulb again

I can't get to the bulb yet - the lens and bulb holder and joined together until popped out the front nose

It just pulls out the back on the K3--> as far as I know, you won't needt to take the headligh unit appart, remove it from the fairing or anything, just pull off the rubber at the back of it, and see if it's a pull out or bayonet type (Can check when I get home if needed)

Ah right, scan read the previous post. has this ever been done before? In between the lens and the bulb bit there is a rubber seal. Chances are this rubber seal hasnt been moved before and is sticking the two bits together. Get some spray like gt-85 ot wd-40 etc. and spray it and then just use a small flat head screwdriver to prise it open

i always did it very gently with a flat head screw driver
