Changing head light bulb in civic 03
does anyone over here knw how to change the headlights bulb in honda civic 03? I have tried, but i cant get the damn headlight out so that i can change bulb. Its such a pain in ass......I really need some instructions here. F'kin honda. So complicated! :(
Re: Changing head light bulb in civic 03
I tihnk the manual should say how to change the bulb as it is a pretty standard thing to do.
Usually i think it's just either pull out the light along with the wires and connector by twisting at the connector to get the light out of it's holder (i really don't know the right terms).
The other idea is to remove the whole fixture from the car by removing 2 or 3 screws to get it out, you can then get easier access to the connector and bulb you will need to remove.

You don't need to remove the whole light.
Look at the back where the bulb is inserted. Follow the wires and you'll see that there is a plastic ring with ridges around the socket. The ridges act as a grip that you need to turn counterclockwise. It turns and stops at about 1/4 turn. Once the ring is in that position you can then pull the bulb out of the socket. Some wiggling is needed to get it out. Disconnect the wire socket from the old bulb.
Be sure to not touch the glass of the new bulb. Reconnect the wires to the new bulb. Reinsert the bulb and retighten the ring and you're done.

thats what i thought too, but i have read somewhere that you will need to take the whole damn light thingy out, and you cant take it out unless you remove the front bumper or something.
I'm not 100% sure abt that, so I'm waiting for someone to reply who has civic 01+ model and have changed the head light bulb.
Mean while i will try to follow what rossco & Virtualbody1234 have said, but I highly doubted its that easy with civic. Trust me!
