702854boy 77 #3 Posted Saturday at 09:01 PM I'm not sure what model we have. We just acquired an 854 yesterday morning and it has headlights on it but we don't know how to change the bulb or what type of bulb it takes. I'll try to get a photo of the assembly later.

I don't see a band around the circumference, i tried getting a small screw driver behind the seem to see if they were put together that way but I didn't have a small enough screw driver and I've tried twisting them to see if that's how they are held on but they don't budge or I just don't have a strong enough grip.

Those dimples on the side are there for the cam lock on the ring. Check on the bottom side of the light for a screw. Don't remember, I may have installed a screw on mine to ensure that it would stay together. If it has one then remove the screw. You will then need to twist the front ring counter clock wise to remove it. This should be the style bulb that you are looking for. I used the LEDs on mine because I'm not running a charging system. https://www.menards.com/main/electrical/light-bulbs/specialty-light-bulbs/sylvania-reg-mr16-gu5-3-led-light-bulb/79129/p-1463764712040-c-642874317706876.htm?exp=false They are also available in halogen, I don't think that they are any brighter than the LEDs though. https://www.menards.com/main/electrical/light-bulbs/specialty-light-bulbs/feit-electric-reg-mr11-g4-halogen-light-bulb/bpq10mr11/p-1444430398199-c-642874317706876.htm The bulbs that I posted above should be available at your local hardware store. They are intended for 12v home lighting, so I would check in the home lighting section. Edited yesterday at 12:56 PM by Achto 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
702854boy 77 #13 Posted yesterday at 05:49 PM I just went out and looked and there is not a screw on the bottom and I tried twisting the front ring off but the darn thing just won't budge. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The dimples that you see on the out side form 3 small pins on the inside. These 3 pins fit into the grooves on the front ring for a cam-lock fit. I removed one of my rings so that you could see what goes on inside. Try soaking the ring down with some penetrating fluid and let it set for a while. Maybe it will work it's way in and help loosen things up. Edited yesterday at 08:18 PM by Achto 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, @ebinmaine alway reminds us that if lefty-loosey isn’t working right a way, a little righty-tighty might be needed!
