    Park lights on 04-08 R1

    hey peeps,
    not long ago i bought some HID headlamps on eBay. looks sweet.
    next step is to change the park lamps to same/close color.

    has anyone changed these at all? if your not sure, its the lights at the top of the head light. i cant see any cap for it so im baffled.

    lemme know what you think
    thanks

    I did this a year ago - put some blue led parkies on the R1 and it looks mint. Traffic cop doing a licence check informed me they're illegal but no yellow sticker...yet.

    Its a bit late (and I'm too lazy) to go out and revise how I did it with pics - just remember it was pretty easy. I'm not that technically skilled either. I think the key was to remove the plastic fascia adjacent to the main headlights for access, its a screw and one of those plastic buttons that you depress the centre to remove. I seem to recall the light itself was just a plug-in globe holder like most head & park lights. You ease it out in toto then change the globe and replace.

    Someone who knows their bikes inside out like Desmogod, Bear122 or Hewie will probably give you a step by step if you ask nicely. Its seriously not hard.

    Edit: SNAP!

    My one motorcycling tip is...ride Phillip Island. The End.

    Man that Hewie guy is all shades of awesome.
    Some say he eats sidchrome for breakfast

    Some say he only showers on even days of the week

    Some say he put an R1 motor in a coffee machine

    All we know is he's Hewie.
