Love how calm this guy is about explaining what could be the dumbest design for a headlight

The headlights in my wife's 2011 Subaru Outback were worse than this. It was so bad they extended the warranty to cover headlights for ten years (after I had already replaced them). We traded it for a 2017. It's headlights can be replaced in about 30 seconds.

@playlistsgaylore6647 look up a 2010 ram 1500 headlight bulb replacement. Have to take off the whole front grill reach into the wheelwells pop a plastic tab, remove the whole headlight assembly then you can swap the bulbs. Absolute joke.

Thank you so much for this video!!! It took me a minute to get everything off/unplugged, but I finally got it! I’ve never replaced a headlight or taillight on my car before and didn’t want to pay for someone else to do it. This is just what I needed.

Thank you! Did both, had heck of a time getting both unplugged with my 2008. Took both hands and wedging with a screwdriver. Then I had fun trying to balance the coolant so it wouldn't spill but who cares, I can see at night again!

If you’re having trouble twisting the new lightbulb into place, try tapering the x3 plastic tabs. I used wire cutters to shave the plastic tabs into a “K bevel”. I spent 1 hour fighting it and was about ready to pull the headlight assembly off the car. But this tip worked for me. Thx for the video, turning the steering wheel helps out a lot.

I agree. This is dumb. If you are ever bored, look up videos on replacing headlights in a 2011 Subaru Outback. It makes the Civic look easy. We sold ours and got a later model. Changing a light bulb in it is a 2 minute job.

Thanks for the video. I just purchased NAPA, night vision VIVID bulbs from the NAPA just down the street. The package says 2 year warranty. BP9006NVV-N. 2010 HONDA CIVIC. The total cost with Minnesota sales tax was $52.59.

Thanks for this how-to! Appreciated!👍 It irritates me to no end when car manufactures/engineers design and build systems like this. C'mon guy/gal engineers, it's a bulb, it needs to be changed. Access should be fast,easy and unobstructed. 🤬----Honda is by no means the only offender in this area.

Dumb question, but do I need to disconnect the battery before replacing the bulbs? Thank you uploading this video - you're a legend and it's really straightforward for car noobs like me :)
@Rickmakes
@Rickmakes 2 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure what the official service manual recommends but I never disconnect the battery for headlights. You just want to make sure the car is off and the key is out of the ignition so there is no power to the bulbs. Bulbs can be very hot if they were operating recently but dead bulbs will be cool.
