Identification Light
To replace the identification light (just above the headlight) follow steps 1-6. The id light holder has 3 screws which hold it to the cowling, 1 at the top, 1 at each side on the bottom. Carefully remove these screws and gently pull the whole assembly loose from the cowling.The bulb is at the bottom of the assembly, held in by a rubber holder. Gently pull out the holder and remove the bulb. Replace with GE 168 bulb (it's a little brighter). Place the bulb and lens assembly back in place and tighten the 3 screws.
Re-assemble the cowling as above.
