Burnt out bulb on 85 Aspencade

Ok, the bulb next to the headlight is bad, how the heck do I get the lense out? I dont see any screws in the light to get it out.

I believe you must remove the mirrors and then the front nose piece, then remove the headlight. Now you should be able to access the retaining screws behind the side lights or extract the bulb from the rear of them.

not always necessary to remove the mirrors
1)remove the lower nosepiece via two tiny screws,one each side
2)pop the winshield garnish up above the headlight,usually requires a tug
3)remove the two lower and upper bolts(10mm) and headlight assembly will
come loose
4)the assembly will not come out all the way since its attached to the headlight adjust cable
5)bulbs are accessible from sidepods then

I followed the shop manual replacing mine...what a pain! Pulled the mirrors, pulled the metal panel under the windshield, then pulled the headlight assembly completely out, stretching the adjust cable in the process. But then the bulbs were easy to get to, and replace, lol. If they burn out again, I think I'm gonna go L.E.D., if they make them for those little bulbs.
