I purchased some Xenon bulbs to replace my stock ones in the 92 Accord. I was unaware that it was so difficult to replace them. Apparently the battery has to come out among other parts. The bulbs I got were 9005 and 9006. I believe the 9006 are the low beam and 9005 are the high - please correct me if I'm wrong.

Would anyone have any visual instructions are to what to remove and how to remove it to access what I need to access? Any sage advice?

Thanks!

 

As far as I know (and lightshow or the other guys will correct me if Im wrong, its been awhile since I've had my 91), All you have to do is move the plastic/rubberish fenderlining on each side to get to the bulbs, no need to take the battery out at all.

 

there is one plastic screw type thingy just turn it counterclockwise a little and the bulb comes right out. the 06's are for the lows. if you are having troubles then you have the bulbs put in professionally.

 

here's a removal diagram for a 91... Also, keep in mind DO NOT TOUCH the bulb itself on halogen bulbs... The oils on your hands will kill the bulbs/shorten their lifespan signifigantly... or so I've always been told... Anyway, here's the pics. If you're still having issues post some pictures of what you're looking at...

i thought that was how the civic bulbs (h3) went in. ill try to take a look at my 06's here when i get out of class.

 

that's the manual page from a 91 accord... I know that civic's have a retainer spring and all that other junk very similar to that page I posted... guess I've never actually looked at my accord..

 

ok then im probably wrong, because its been a while for me too.

 

You were told correctly on the oil on your hans also moisture out side if it's raining will also make them go out faster...
