The ears on your headlight cowl(beauty/trim crest) are secured under the mounts for the mirrors. Another wonderful design effort from mother Honda... :gunhead:

I'm about to change the bulb in the headlight of my 1984 GL1200A and I noticed the Clymer manual states that I should remove the two rearview mirrors first. Pardon my ignorance, but why?

keener, actually you really don't have to remove the mirrors but just need to turn them & pull the boots back enough so you can access the bolts under the boots, then remove ONLY the one bolt that also goes through the front metal trim ear & slightly loosen the other 2 bolts.
