    So i bought a SV650 which had blue parker bulbs which i didnt want to keep riding with as far as im aware they are quite frowned upon, so i had ordered some bright white ones,

    needless to say in a somewhat hurry to just do a simple swap, i think it has turned into a nightmare, while pulling out the cables to change the second parker bulb, it popped out of the shell and jumped into my headlight housing.

    assuming i shall have to take all fairings off and wrestle it to let it slip out. assuming that is the correct method?

    2 minute job to 1 hour + job it seems *sigh*
