this tip i learned from one of our members. it has 2 benefits, 1) it will test your pain tolerance, 2) its good for a bad back. when the lights on your GP200 ( italian of course ) stop working, put it on the stand on a cold concrete floor well out of reach of your tool-box. ( this is very important - see later ). get a screwdriver and remove the rear lens and take the bulb out. lie down on the cold floor ( this is the good bit for the back ) and you'll see 2 brass electrical connectors. now, it's possible they'll need bending forewards a bit. shove your index finger in the bulb socket and try and bend the contacts back. you'll find if you push your finger in far enough, a brass barb will pierce your finger and as you try to pull it out it'll dig in nicely. ( this is the pain tolerance test ). this is where it's really important that your tool box is out of reach, you need to lie there in pain for at least 25 mins to get the benefit for your back. you can now either rip your finger out - which hurts, or start shouting for help. if your really lucky you might have something at hand to push the barbed contact back and get your finger out intact. our members approach was to just lie there and shout for help.
