Hi Guys. I live and work in Germany and recently bought a 2013 RT in the UK and rode it back to Germany. I have to get it MOT,d in Germany called a Tuv Test.
In order for it to pass its Tuv test I have to change the headlight to a continental headlamp. Can anyone advise how easy or hard it is to do it myself rather than pay a dealership?


Thanks in advance.

Are you sure it is not a symmetrical dip on your bike?

Hi Bud


Took the bike to a dealership and they confirmed that I need a new headlamp which I anticipated would be correct.

Hi I cannot directly help regards 2013 bike but my 2014 bike eat a pheasant recently which destroyed the headlight. I replaced the unit myself. A fairly easy job just a lot of body work to take off. Workshop manual is useful to guide you through the process. Just for interest here are a couple of photos of my 2014 in bits. Hope this helps.
