How do you change the Hi beam bulb on the classic Morettes?
I cant seem to work it out lol,
Any help would be great
Also are they H1 or H2?

 

Do you mean the inners? If so it's H2. Remove the rubber cover and there's a sprung clip across the bulb. Spring it out, it's sort of hooked under at one end, and bulbholder will be loose.

The H2 bit is then wedged UNDER a pair of strong spring clips on this bulbholder, it's a pain to remove and replace as the H2 has cutouts that get caught............as they are SUPPOSED to to stop it working loose or being fitted upside down, but you need three hands or a small screwdriver.

 

*if* you can get the side light off easy enough ...it's actually quicker/easier to pop your grille off & just remove the headlight!

 

Well, yes and no..............I did both my inners that way recently as I couldn't be ar*ed to try and faff about behind the lights.
One was OK, but the n/s one has gone back slightly in a different position to where it started, so I ended up having to re-align the lights.......a total PITA.

It's basically because the bolts holding the OE lights were M8's and new ones are M6, so the Morettes can move a couple of mm around the mounting holes

 

ah, I didn't know they used M6's ...bolts were missing from mine, so just used some spare M8's

 

Thanks guys, I still cant get the rubber off, if i go any harder i will break it,

 

The M6's were an integral part of the kit in mine, certainly not easily changeable, the bolt head being captive in the moulding that the lamps were fixed to.

 

The design must have changed at some point then, mine were easy to swap & easy to access ...& I've just checked the 'new' spare casing/chassis i have just in case ...& its just an m6 bolt 2 washers & an m6 nut ...& has about an inch of clearance

 

Twist and pull: they do stick.
Failing that, you are gonna have to remove the light to get it off.

DO mark the EXACT position of the bolt/washers under the sidelight before removing to avoid having to re-align the light
