One of the spotlights has given up the ghost on my 2010 NTX. It has halogen Hella Micro DE auxiliary lamps mounted on the crash bars but I cannot find a replacement bulb reference, and I have no idea how to get the spotlight apart!
Any ideas?
Many thanks in anticipation

One of the foglights on my car failed and the official line was to buy a complete bulb + holder assembly. But a helpful video showed how to get it apart and replace the bulb alone, which was an H10 I think.
Most of what I can find on the internet is not what I want. They suggest junking the spots and replacing them. A new pair of standard ones from the States are over $500. Mostly they suggest LED ones… I only want a bulb Sir!
At the end of the day, you’ve got to look at reverse engineering them. Unless they’ve been moulded in one piece, or superglued or welded shut, they must come apart.
At this point, the thing to bear in mind is “if it’s broken now, can it get any more broken?”
Have a go.
You might surprise yourself.
From a look at this installation guide, it looks like the back comes off to fit the bulb. For the bulb reference, try this … Light Source: H312V/55W Bulb
Thanks Don you are a star, I will look at them now! 
Hi Don and Chris. I ordered a pair of the spotlights from TLM in Holland. They arrived yesterday and the booklet Don refers to is included. I’m not sure while Chris struggled to open them and replace the H3 bulb. You just pull the rubber back off the light housing. My problem was that vibration had caused the bulb holding clamp to disintegrate. You will notice that the bulb holder has three screws fixing it to the body. I made up two strips of brass with holes at each end that I could use to clamp the build to the holder using the three fixing screws. It works well. The real secret of reliability is making sure the positive wire from the bulb pig tail is kept straight as shown in the diagram. If it is allowed to contact the light housing vibration will wear the insulation away causing a short which then causes the main 30 Amp fuse to fail which then prevents the battery being charged and the bike to stop. No warning appears on the dashboard when the fuse blows. Once I had the Hella Part Number I found they were available in the UK for about half the price charged by Piaggio. Hope this helps, Phil
Thanks Phill, I will look into it later.
