Does the How-to article describing the procedure to replace a headlight bulb on a GL1500 apply as well on a GL1800?
I am aware of the possibility to replace the low beam bulbs without dismanteling any part from under the dash and I used it myself a number of times. But, the high beam bulbs cannot be reached this way.

Re: Headlight bulbs
If you remove the left and right storage bins on the 1800 you can access the high beam bulbs.

Re: Headlight bulbs
You are very right, ManuTD. I just tried your trick and, after some dismantling of the bin (which is not that straitforward...), I succeeded replacing the right high beam bulb. The left one seems somewhat more of a challenge though. At least, this requires much less part removing than tearing out the front panel and the whole headlight assembly.
Thanks for the info, Manu.
