Is it possible to change the bulb on projectors? The brights work fine, but the actual headlight bulbs (the large, round ones) burned out (almost immediately after getting them, and yes, the light output (not tyc) is as bad as everyone says.)

I need to get my car inspected, and can't because I can't figure out HOW to change the bulbs??

I took it somewhat apart and can't seem to figure out any way to disconnect the bulbs nor any way to actually get the bulb out!

I wish I'd never gotten them.


edit: I don't know what brand they are, the box said Eagle Eyes. They are halo projectors on 97 accord.

Well, THAT sucks.
Having steered clear of all projectors (I inspected some at a local Speed Shop (Ewww)) the quality of what I saw scared me away.
There has to be a proceedure to replace the H(x) bulb buried in that hdlamp housing.
Did these EBay specials come with some manner of instructions?
Hopefully, someone here is familiar with your set and can advise you.
Have you tryed contacting the vender you bought them from?

There is probalby some sort of clamp holding in the back of the bulb. That is how it was on my set before I GRACIOUSLY sold them on Ebay. They were Denji projectors and were a little better quality than some out there. Without seeing picutres, I can't honestly tell you how. Just keep going about it trial and error-wise.

most likely it's a H3 or H4 bulb. there's a clip holding the bulb in which kinda acts like a ground also. just loosen the screw that's holding the clip down. the bulb should pop out.

i've only bought one pair of projectors for my accord and i was dissatisfied by them. installation was a breeze. the first night i drove with them on, one of the bulbs burned out on me. and it did it often. got tired of replacing the bulbs so i just put my stock ones back on.

Look behind the headlight where the lowbeam is and you should see a rubber or hard plastic shell that covers the back of the light (Should be round). If it's rubber then you just need to pull it off, if it's hard plastic then you need to twist it off. After you do that, you should be able to see the back of the headlight exposed. There should be a clip that is holding in the H3 bulb for the lowbeam, I'm sure it' H3 since most of the projector headlights use a foglight projector and take H3's. Unclip and disconnect the bulb and pull out. Good luck.

I have the same problem with my accord. Yesterday I installed some eagle eye projector headlights and they look badass but the high beam bulbs don't work and only one low beam works. The blinkers work great. Im really hoping I didn't just blow $220 on those headlights cause I can't figure out how to change the bulbs and I really don't wanna rip my front bumper back off to take the headlights out again.
