a friend of mine just got a fit a couple months ago and recently his wife hit a deer with it. when he got it back from the body shop they replaced the headlight but didnt put any bulbs in them. he was wandering how to replace the bulbs in the headlights , i think he said it was just the bright lights he was having trouble gvetting to or something like that any one know what has to be removed to get to it or is there something he needs to do differently?

 

You have to move or remove the plastic inner fenders to gain access to the back of the headlight. If the Fit is lowerd then your gona have to take the front wheels off also. Not fun...

 

tell him to finally open the owners manual. honda doesn't print them off for no reason. there are definately detailed instructions on how to do it.

Should have been part of the repair. I would have turned around and brought it back to them and not left until THEY replaced the bulbs. And if they refused, a phone call to your insurance company that handled the claim should fix that. on crappy body shops.

 

he had the manual in his closet at his old house lost it during the move to his new house

 

thanks for the info he was about to start pulling the fenders off!!

 

Fenders off?

Read carefully.. PLASTIC INNER FENDER LINERS ...do not remove your fenders lol I'm suprised there isn't an access panel in the liner, there usually is for that kind of general service item I'll have to stick my nose in my wheel well when I get home and have a look lol!

 

I ment move outa the way not remove plastic fender liners all together. Im sure he figured it out by now...
