Default How to install after market light bulbs?

Hello, everyone!
This is my first post in trying to figure out how to install after market xenon light bulbs in front on my 2004 Honda Civic Coupe.

It was pretty easy to do in Honda CRX back in the day, however, I am having trouble with 2004 Honda Civic. I don't want to go to the dealer or any auto shop and end up paying lots of money to install those, especially knowing that I can probably do that myself with some suggestiongs /instructions, should be pretty easy.

Anyone came across of any manual online or in the store that may show how to help me.

Anyone ever done this before, please provide detail instructions
email me if you can @ i30rLs@aol.com

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you for reading!

Are you talking about retrofitting HIDs?:

Or just replacing the bulbs with those 'HID' eBay / rice shop bulbs?

EX-Auto Exer

I guess you can say that I just want to replace with those ebay rice bulbs (I will actually buy that in the auto store around my area)


gftgrill, please don't cuss.

If I had the manual, I would have read that and wouldn't post here.

Thank you

I guess, I still, need help on this simple issue.

Well, it should just have a clip on the back of the light housing. Or, if it's changed with the 7th gens, there may be a housing that you have to rotate. Whatever it is, there will be a socket on the end of the wires that needs to come out of the housing. Go open the hood, and it should be pretty clear.

EX,

It's not as simple anymore.
The way you explained it, I've done that before on my old CRX.
That was pretty simple.

I suppose, I could look for the manual for the car.

Thanx anyways.
