replacing the spotlight Bulb

Should the spotlight bulb break or burn out, it can be replaced 
with an H3, 12V, 55W halogen bulb, available at hardware 
stores. Make certain the power switch is in  the “OFF” position 
before replacing the bulb. 
To replace the bulb, unthread the spotlight head (Figure 1) by 
turning it counterclockwise. Make certain the old bulb and the 
reflector have had plenty of time to cool down before you touch 
either one. Separate the reflector from the bulb as shown in 
Figure 2. Remove the wire retaining clip and replace the bulb. 
Replace the retaining clip and insert the bulb back into the 
reflector. Rethread the entire assembly back into the Dynamo.
