I am searching for the detail procedure on how to change the headlight bulb both low beam and high beam on my accord 2004 (2.4 l, 4 doors). Could anybody provide the detail steps? thank you, in-advance.

have you looked at it? these things are usually self-explanatory.

 

quarter turn counter-clockwise and pull

 

Release the connector first.

 

i saw 3 screws, do i need to unscrew those?

 

does it look like you need to? probably not. i think you are making this much more challenging than it needs to be.

 

easy Smag, I've broken a good bulb because of these screws..... the screws DO hold the bulb in, but not how screws are normally used. If you can't turn the bulb after you disconnect the wire harness, try pushing the bulb a bit toward the front bumper and turn. If you still can't get the bulb out, loosen the 3 bolts a fraction of a turn with a Z-driver to make it easier.

The 3 screws basically make up the bracket that the bulb quarter-turns into ..... they hold onto the bulb's tabs.

 

hey...sometimes you just have to think for yourself...

 

true, but I'd rather have him ask the question and go into the task prepared than break a perfectly good 100W 5000k high output bulb because the screws are a PITA ...... btw, I broke the driver side highbeam which is VERY hard to fit my fat hands in to get to. I have my airhorn compressor in that space between the radiator support rail and the battery.

In case any readers intend to use 100W bulbs, get a high power relay kit, or at least ceramic connectors. I've seen kids melt the connectors and then it's a REAL pita to fix.

 

why are your hands fat?
