Aristo Pacific Headlight

The headlight on my Pacific has stopped working does anyone know if the front lens is a screw type or just a press fit. Don’t want to damage it getting the bulb out.

pops out, can you insert a small rod from behind and pop it out? A lot of times, the back of the housing has a hole for the wire, and you can put a small drill (dull side first please) in an pop the lens out.

Several where glued in. If you damage it, let me know, I have several new ones !

actually, I think Rex is right all the time!

Mine all had one spot of glue, but it was weak and the lens popped out easily when pushed from behind.

Greg

Had a problem getting the lens out so enlarged the hole at the rear and was able to remove the old bulb and insert the new LED works fine now.

Steve, was the lens glued in too strongly, or were you able to pop it out?

Greg

It was glued in so I couldn’t easily pop it out. I was able to open a hole large enough in the rear of the unit to remove the old bulb and replace it with a 5mm LED. When I reattached it the front of the engine the opening isn’t visible, works great.
