Great video for replacement of the headlight housings. One step that is not in the video is the bumper cover bracket that is bolted to the headlight housing. Once the old housing is out of the car, there is a long bracket that is held on by one 10mm bolt that needs to be taken off the old headlight housing and bolted to the new headlight housing. This bracket is the clips that hold the bumper cover on right below the housing once your putting it back together.

If you are looking to replace just the headlight bulb, please take a look at the owner's manual. It took me literally 10 minutes to change the low beam light bulb through the wheel well. You don't need to take the bumper off for just a bulb.

I just installed a set on an '03 Accord. They did not come with amber turn signal lamps, but did have the driving lamps. You need to loosen the screws on the driving lamps to make them easier to remove, then re-tighten after new ones are in. I also suggest leaving the protective film on until the housings are installed. Thanks for the video. Very helpful!

Thank you so much for this video. I purchased two new headlight assembly from Service King and in less than a year they started to fade. I purchased a new set off of ebay for $80. I went back to Service King to have them install and they refused to do it because it wasn't purchased through them. I went to another shop and they wanted to charge me $150. I finally build the nerve and did it myself thanks to your video and the disclaimer of not being afraid to remove the bumper. I really appreciate you and all of the you tubers who take the time to make helpful videos. You save me time and money. Screw you Service King!

Great set of instructions. I did this yesterday in about two hours, but had three issues. 1) the plastic connectors were mostly dry rotted and broke as I was extracting them - I will get new ones so not much of an issue. 2) the 10mm bolts on the bottom of the bumper were rusted so badly that they would not come out (even after a liberal dose of WD40). Had no choice but to allow the surrounding plastic to break. I fixed that by using self tapping screws during the replacement process (not a great solution but it's an old car). 3) after replacing the lens's, the blinkers flashed to fast (almost continuous). The new lens assembly came complete with new bulbs and connectors. Fixed the flashing issue by replacing the blinker connector with the one from the old assembly - not sure what the difference was but using the old connector did the trick...

When doing this take time and buy some new plastic screw anchors (CLIPS) that he says to take and pop off with a screw driver as like mine the weathering of these made them brittle and unusable again.

@Katahu We do not. When your headlights become hazed or yellow what happens is that the plastic has broken down. If you buff them out the haze will come back usually in about 5 or 6 months. We sell replacement headlights on our website 1aauto.com with free shipping in the USA. Hope this helps.

Good video, I had the same problem with some of the clips on the underside of an '04 and the 2 10mm bolts being rusted on, I'm not sure I had to remove all of them to get the bumper cover off enough to get the headlights out though. Need some new clips but otherwise it all worked. Oh the two philips head clips on the top outside of the bumper cover were wrecked too and a drill was some help with them, but really just a flat screwdriver prying them up was fine.

Mike I changed just the headlight bulb (low beam) on 2006 Honda Accord EX. Different way's to do it including battery. But the manual say's to go thru the wheel well. Which I did in parking lot of apt carport. Unlike manual's description it was a pain in azz. As I had remove 7 clips on wheel well. You turn the tire all way to right on driver's side and vice versa passenger side. Pull back cover and slip hands thru well get to bulb. You have to lossen 3 screws get bulb to turn to come out.
