2004 Accord headlight bulb replacement
 

My wife just called to let me know that her right low beam headlight just
went out. I'm going to buy a bulb today, but would like to review the
replacement procedure before she comes in this afternoon. Can anyone direct
me to a website that shows this or describe it? Thanks in advance...

How about your car's owner manual?

I believe most headlamp bulbs are twist-lock.
Unplug the connector,then twist.Reverse for installation.
Don't touch the glass envelope with your bare hands or fingers.

Re: 2004 Accord headlight bulb replacement
 

You'll have to turn the wheel to the left or right depending which headlight
is out. Also have to pull some screws/tabs from the wheel well, and try not
to break them when you pull them. Pull part of the cover out to get your
arm in there. You'll have to twist the old bulb out and swap for the new.
It's a real PITA.

Re: 2004 Accord headlight bulb replacement
 

Thanks for the response, Dave. Your remarks were right on, including what a
HUGE PITA this project is. I waited until I had the manual in hand, and it
has helpful pictures near the back for the R&R of each type of bulb, just
not helpful enough when it comes to those &@#^ plastic clips holding the
fender liner in place. I broke one of the two that had to be removed, but it
is holding enough to keep the fender liner in place until I get a supply of
them later today. Interestingly enough, while I was laying on the ground
scrabbling around for one of those clips, I discovered a truly serious
problem. The connecting link that connects the right side of the front roll
bar to the lower suspension member had separated . I'm going to address that
today. Thank God I dropped that clip!
