Anyone out there know how to do disassemble a Vistalite VL400 series head light.
I am having trouble with the contacts on the DC 5.5mm od 2.5mm id jack.
I have opened up the case.. but cannot seem to remove the 4AA battery case that is wedged in there. I tried to pull the 4AA case straight out but it does not budge.
As well, it looks like the 4AA battery case needs to be removed to get to bulb. So there must be a easy sequence of steps that I have overlooked.
I don't know why I bother with this Vistalite junk.. but I don't seem to let go of the old stuff -- even though I own bettter lights now.
Much obliged. Nick carless since January 2000
There must be a sequence for disassembly.. other than brute force..
The outer lens ring pops off (it will take considerable force), giving you access to the bulb and reflector. I don't think that's going to help you with the jack in the back though. If you visit your local bike shop they might have a "carcass" that they sell to you cheaply, as Bell Sports (VistaLite) was good about setting shops up with spares. Good Luck!
