Hi all from a newbie

My GF has a 2001 Honda Accor coupe with a burned out headlight.

Is it easy to replace? Any tips or tricks I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance. TruBlu

 

Getting the connector out is kind of a bitch, though it will pop out eventually. Just make sure you twist it far enough.

 

Just make sure you don't touch the bulbs with your hands. If you have any kind of dirt or oil on your hands your bulb will fry.

 

rotate the black ring counter clock wise
remove bulb
replace bulb
rotate black ring clock wise

to remove light from connector

squeeze end of plug and pull the light out (it works on a 94 accord)

do not touch glass bulb with bare fingers as it will pop

I usually use a pair of rubber gloves

just dip your head in the hood you can kind see there's a gap when you can slide the bulb out..
low beam---hi beam......... ....hi beam...low beam
foglite........................................... ...............fog light

 

haha, nice diagram

 

Thanks all.
Used the rubber glove idea and though it took a bit of effort to get the housing loose, I was able to replace the bulb with no problem.

 

it's much easier than changing lightblub on the i4 than v6(6th gen).
On my friend's v6 the intake resonator block most of the access to the blub.

 

it is the same with the I4 motor you have to remove the "Silencer" and then you have fairly easy access
