Gen 3 Halo Bulb

Is there any way of replacing the bulb for a gen 3 headlight? I am not a fan of having to take the lens off so is there any other way? If anyone has some ideas, please help!

ya with the gen 3s you have to replace the whole halo. I think. I know Mkulrey13 can give you the answer your looking for. As far as I knew the gen 1s were the only ones you can swap out bulbs on.

I had a halo burn out on my Gen3's. Gotta replace the halo man. I just picked up a set of CCFL's from 3bspec.

Well a CCFL can burn out too. But it's way brighter.
