Additional information
This headlight housing, part number 731-1364, holds the headlight lens and bulb in place while protecting the lighting components from snow, moisture, and debris. A properly mounted housing helps keep the headlight aligned and ensures consistent visibility during operation.
If the headlight feels loose, the lens will not stay seated, or moisture builds up inside the light assembly, the housing may be cracked, warped, or damaged. Broken mounting points can also prevent the headlight from staying secure.
Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Position the housing correctly, secure it with the mounting hardware, and make sure the headlight assembly sits firmly without movement.
