I'm helping a friend replace her 2002 Honda Accord Headlamp. I've never touched a Honda before. Does this thing have different bulbs for high and low beam?!?!? I've only ever seen twin filament bulbs.

Any special 'gotchas' about the change (handbook says I have to remove the [expletive deleted] radiator reserve tank (huh???).

Thanks!

Steve

 

Yes different bulbs in the High[inboard] and Low[outboard]beams. The reservoir is held in by a plastic bolster on the tank side, wiggle it side to side while pulling up; no big deal, pull the rubber boot out of the way and then you'll see the wire clip that latches in a hook. unhook the wire clip and it will pivot to one side; don't touch the new bulb glass with your fingers.
Best of luck I hope this helps you

 

Yes this was very helpful, thanks.
Reserve tank was a pig to grip though ...
No wire clip - had to turn bulb through 90 degrees and then extract.
The old 'bulb' had no glass ... nor glass bits visible inside the headlight. Hmmm ....

Much appreciated!
