Accord 2003 Replacing HeadLights
hey guys... i am completely new to this .... i dont do much on my own to my car but i got my headlights replaced from originals to projector headlights for HID.... i am not happy them at all so i wanna change em back to the original Headlights. but it seems like you would have to take off the front bumper and maybe more... i was wondering if anybody have any idea or know how should i go about this... i was looking for some sort of blueprint or set by step instructions if anyone happen to have em.... i am really frustrated as one of the lights just went out and i dont wanna get pulled over or wat not thanks guys
Well if you say one of the lights went out, you can just change the bulb.
As far as removing the headlights you would have to remove the grill, front bumper, then there are bolts underneath the headlight assembly thats bolted to the frame. The headlight sits on this metal bracket and i think its held on by 3 bolts. One by the signal light and the other 2 by the high beam. You'll see what i mean when you take off the front bumper.
Good luck.
EDIT: opps.. didn't notice you said 03. But its fairly straight forward. For an 03 i think you have to remove the grill and underneath the front bumper there are clips that hold the splash gaurd and front bumper.

yea thanks a lot man... i figure that looking at the picture of the light itself. but i was just worried about opening it... if its complicated or wat not u know... well i ma try it out tomorrow or somthing thanks a lot
Alright guys i been away for a while but i just got back on to let you all know (and future readers, dealing with this issue) that the flickering turn/hazard light is indeed a Relay switch issue... which from Honda dealers could cost u around 25 bucks.. probably cheaper from Autozone or something. Paying 100 plus tax at the dealership for installation is NOT ur ONLY option. u CAN do it yourself at home...
Notes-Tips for Removing/Installing this part
- This Relay is located UNDER THE DASH BOARD and Located Deep in so it is very hard
to work under ur dashboard.It's Reslly not impossible even for a real rookie who didnt even know where it was like myself.
- Unless you have some sort of tool to take this thing out.. u will need to wedge something on both side of the relay to hold the "tabs" open unlocking the relay.
- with one/both hands clear and open u will have to pull the relay switch with a great force. as its sort of interlocked, but few good tuggs will get the job done.
- take out the old swith replace it with the new one (try to remember how u took it out if u r afraid of puttin it the worng way in) .. as far as i can remember i dont thik u can install it wrong..
YOU ARE DONE..!!! JUSTED SAVED YOURSELF 100 plus Tax an hour of waiting time at the dealers.. dont know the estimate at the repair shop but nothing beats FREEE!! LOL anyways hope this information made some stuff clear and helped... i apologize if this just did the opposit and made things confusing feel free to write me an e mail or wat confused about something or stuck at some point.... its Djmenace3@gmail.com
