You can get to it (barely) by going up from the left side of the bike with the handle bars pointed to the left to open up a channel to get your right hand to the existing connector, then large rubber doughnut, then the wire loop/spring, then remove the old bulb. And from reading here and elsewhere you can replace the bulb without removing all the plastic and headlight assembly which saved me probably two hours of labor. There is a better output of light for sure in the Sylvania Bulb. The Kawasaki factory bulb is the lowest cost cheapest thing I've ever seen. Yesterday after reading some intel here I purchased a top of the line Sylvania Ultra Halogen bulb and put it in the Versys 300x and it made a difference as expected.

I agree the new LED and before them the HD (high discharge) light bulbs are so bright that any elevation or humps in the road and the on coming cars are toast. The LED goes so far as to replicate the low beam out one side of the panel and the high beam positioned above and on the other side of the panel just like the Halogen. The LED bulbs has a panel where the light is emitted only to the sides also.

The Halogen has a solid plate or mask at the end so no light is emitted out the top of the bulb. In the research I've done this week in sorting this out the LED H4 9003 are designed to reproduce the light pattern of the old Halogen equivalent.
