changing headlight bulbs on an 08

I just got some 55/www Hella bulbs to replace the 1 burned out one on my
08. I reached up behind the fairing this weekend to replace it and it is
tight. I can feel the connector and can pull it off but cant really see
much while I am doing it.
Is there an easier way to replace the bulbs?
Should I be pulling the fairing for this?
Am I just confused again?

why not to use wd40 for cleaning.....

WD40 has been working for me for many years and I have lots of miles on several chains. If someone wanted an alternative I would say go buy a 1/2 galon of deisel or Kerosene and put it in a spray bottle.
It will probably clean the chain just as well and wont leave too much sticky resido like the chain lubes they sell so they can sell more chains. I havent looked but I bet it is cheaper than WD40 in the end

The two on the dash, and two up under the fairing as you look in and down from the tank.
The fairing (cowling) slides up and forward. Easy to change them after the removal.

Thank you Jeff. Maybe I had better put the bike up on the British beer
crate before I try it. It sounds easier than the two tires at once bit
was but I don't have a good track record lately
