This happened yesterday on my buddies YFZ 450. It was quite comical. Both bulbs are laying in the tear duct portion of the headlights. It's kind of a bummer riding at night.

You have to take the headlights appart to stick the bulbs back in. We haven't done this yet, but I bet the owners manual tells you how to change the bulbs.

I am not sure yet how to keep them from falling out again. We were on a really rough ride.

Light bulbs in the Grizzlies are also known to do this too...

We were kinda freaked out too. We started looking for a fuse, then saw the bulbs laying in the lights...both of them. New bike, no reverse and no headlights. LOL

We rode side by side for 12 miles in pitch black desert.

I think we are going to put a small bead of epoxy that connects the bulb to the socket. Just enough epoxy to keep the bulbs in, but so you can break it off when you need to change bulbs.

The RAP350 must use the same lights as the YFZ450.
