1978 Goldwing--How do I remove the front light to replace the headlight bulb in a 1978 Goldwing 1000?

We just bought a 1978 Goldwing and have some electric problems for our running lights and headlight. Any ideas what we should check? Also, someone messed with the rear lights and the pigtail is too short so it is very difficult to get it in and out. Any suggestions?

Thanks!1978 Goldwing--How do I remove the front light to replace the headlight bulb in a 1978 Goldwing 1000?On the headlight case, remove the 2 screws (5 %26amp; 7 o'clock #22)

Careful, don't loose the spacers #18

Pull the bottom of the headlight ring (#2) forward away from the bike.

Don't touch the glass of the halogen bulb.

The oils in your fingers will cause it to overheat and burn out.

Wires are to short - cut them and solder in some extensions.

Be more specific with your electrical problems.

Won't come on

Signals won't flash

Intermitent

Lights go out when high beam is turned on.

Etc.

It's like trying to solve a problem without knowing the question LOL1978 Goldwing--How do I remove the front light to replace the headlight bulb in a 1978 Goldwing 1000?The headlight bulb on the windjammer is held in with a springy wire clip. Bend it, it will unhook and swing away.

Intermittent blinkers - the socket could be corroded, or the bulb's terminal isn't making a good connection.
