Icon2 2007 Accord Headlight Bulbs

I was really surprised when I popped the hood on my 07 Accord SE to replace a burned out bulb and I couldn't find it. How much of the paneling needs to come off just to replace a bulb?

Am I missing something?

did you check the owner's manual? typically they detail basic maintenance like that, and do it with the easiest process.

for instance, on my wife's si, you go through the wheel well liners...

The right headlamp bulbs can be changed from under the hood.

The left low beam bulb must be changed from behind the left front fender liner, unless you have some sort of robotic go-go-gadget arm that can contort into the space available in that area under the hood. Just pop the leading plastic clip out and bend the fender liner out of the way.

Manual states:
"Fuel tank must be exactly 5/8's full, it must be a Tuesday and a full moon. After holding in a fart for exactly 3 minutes pop the hood and a light will shine the correct path."

Dammit I let one fly after only 30 seconds so sorry I can't help you there.

But Targa's directions might be easier anyway.

Just had to change mine - the passenger side bulb can be accessed under the hood without removing anything. To get to the driver side, you need to either remove the battery or go through the fender well. It's kind of a pain in the *** if you ask me! I'm used to my Integra/Civic/S2000 where you can just pop them right in...

You're not supposed to remove the screws and you don't need to remove the battery. You just twist the bulb counterclockwise until the tabs clear the screw heads, then pull it out.
