you've got a H22 swapped accord with a variety of mods and you don't even know how to change a headlight bulb......? This can't be serious.

If you're talking about the "projector bulb" like you stated in your first post, it should be just a bulb inside that projector housing. Trust me. It's no different. Pop the back cover off, it should be a clip that is holding the bulb down, disconnect the wires off the bulb and pull it out. It should be something like a H4 or something. But if you're talking about the Halos, it's a different story.

Otherwise, post pictures of your projector headlights to give me an idea of how they look like so I can see if it's got the H4 bulbs or not.

If you are referring to the halo ring, you will have to uninstall the headlight housing. Then disassemble the housing. Then install new LED bulbs with the proper resistor. Make sure you silicone the hell out of any electrical connections, so corrosion can't harm it.

Thats what I'm saying as you can see that those two wires hooks up to the two prong H4 bulb. Unplug the two wires from the bulb as shown there, Unlatch the spring-clip and remove the bulb because that's what is holding the bulb down then pull it out. Trust me. I've done these before. You'll be laughing out loud to find out it's just a bulb.

It's just like this:

i have the same headlights. the bulb does come out its held in by some paper clip looking things. and one of my brights goes on and off some times because a wire is loose somewhere. wiggle some wires around and see if it comes on. if so thats your problem.
p.s. know the brights bulb is an H1.its a pretty small flat bulb too.
no clue on regular lights.

i used to have the same projectors in my accord about 5 years ago. they sucked horribly! they always gave me problems...bulbs always flickering, burning out within a few days, constant condensation in them. ended up trashing them and buying real jdm stanleys. hell if ya cant afford jdm stanleys, get depos and retrofit a "true" projector in them. do this and you wont regret it.
