I cut a hole in the back of the RX3 headlight assembly so it is large enough for me to change the light bulb without having to remove the rear cover. I also placed a small hole at the bottom of the headlight assembly to allow for water to escape.
![]() The hole also allows heat to escape the headlight easily, helping to prevent any possible damage to the reflector from using a light bulb with higher power. ![]()

That looks like a large hole. Do you have a "before" shot?

The back was totally enclosed, except for the small square where the wires come out of the headlight.

![]() I could have made the hole much smaller. However, I want to be able to replace the H4 bulb without having to remove the entire rear cover of the headlight. ![]() One of the nice things about H4 bulbs is the ability to purchase one at WalMart, et cetera, if the bulb extinguishes while you are traveling away from home. Once I find a replacement H4 bulb, I don't want to fiddle with the 9 screws in the dark, in a parking lot, or alongside the road. ![]()

Excellent plan. The heat dissipation can't hurt either.

![]() I did not enjoy trying to remove the 9 screws in my *garage* so I suppose I should follow suit and subject my headlamp enclosure to surgery ![]() (I installed the H4 bulb last weekend following your instructions and found it very easy to accomplish, except for fussing with the screws :P) |

![]() ![]() Using the H4 bulb, the RX3 headlight does a very nice job illuminating the road ahead. I like the large size of the RX3 headlight, and the excellent light pattern it projects when it has a decent light bulb, such as the H4 bulb. ![]()

Incidentally, I used my dremel tool to cut the opening in the rear of the headlight. The dremel tool makes the job very easy.
