DIY: Easier way to change headlight bulbs

[midnitesi]

DOSCLAIMER: I WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONISBILITY FOR U FACKING UP UR CAR, THIS DIY IS WHAT I WAS TAUGHT AS A TRAINED TECH AT HONDA, DONT DO THE DIY IF U DONT FEEL COMFORTABLE ENOUGH WITH UR LACK OF TECH SKILLS TO DO IT RIGHT



TOOLS AND PARTS LIST
1. Flat head screw driver
2. replacement bulbs
3. beer



STEP 1
if replacing the drivers side bulb, turn the wheel to the right


STEP 2
take the flat head and remove the two pop clips that hold in the wheel lining
front two only



STEP 3
pull back the wheel well lining as illustrated in the pic below



now if u look in the wheel well u can see the bulb and have a clear path to stick ur hand in and pull it out




STEP 4
reach in and unplug the bulb, may be hard, but easier to unplug it first.
then turn the bulb counter clock wise bout 1/3 turn, till u feel it give



STEP 5
pull out the bad bulb and insert a new bulb, then plug the bulb back in and replace the wheel well lining back to normal, re insert the pop clips...follow this same process for the passanger side headlight.

isnt that the way its supposed to be done ? for the drivers side on my lx I just remove the anti freeze expansion tank, goes on and off real easy. and for the passenger side i just unclip the one on top and the next one down, no need to full pull out the liner like that. nice info for those who arent in the know
