RE: h7 headlights wont fit
i just changed mine out the other day, it took forever!!! from the old bulb, u need to take off the black thing that is plugged onto the old bulb and stick it on the new bulb. Other than that, ur fine. You might also want to have a friend near by to help u put the screw back on to the unit cuz someone will need to hold down the spring wire.

Guys:
You donĀ“t have to mess with the screw to change the bulb. Just press a little bit the spring wire forward and lift it up. The base of the light housing has a "C" shape to lock the spring wire. As Tommy says, the bulb is attached to a black plastic socket. Just pull the old bulb and plug the new one. H7 is the OEM bulb (high/low beams) size, so thereĀ“s no way another H7 not to fit.
Regards.

Mikus, I am having a bit hard of time following what others have posted as well. However, its is not clear what you have stated. My question is what is smaller the prong size, bulb size, harness, and which bulbs/harness are you talking about the new stuff or the stock?

I believe the wire is only attached to one part of this clip, so it will swing perpendicular to the housing when you lift it up. One side of the clip you can move, the other isn't. I also believe there is a black Honda adapter that is 'keyed' to a certain orientation so the bulb wont vibrate or turn.
That honda adapter may want to stick to the old buld, but it is removable.
If you do touch the bulb, clean it well with isopropyl alcohol.
You may have to loosen the fairings and remove or move the plastic that runs along the top of the fairing.
good luck.

When I did the headlight mod, the only thing that needed to be removed were the black plastic RAM AIR covers so i could have more room to work.
Fishfryer, that a good pont. DO NOT TOUCH THE BULB.
Also, the bulb fits in only 1 position into the housing. The bulb has a piece of tin (rectangular) that you have to match into the housing with the same shape.

When you pull the bulbs out of the housing, there will be a black plastic thing attached to the back of the bulb...that is the plug adapter. It must be pulled off the old bulb and put on the new bulb. Think of it as an adapter. That black plastic plug does not normally come with the bulb, which is why your bulbs don't fit.
