The people downvoting this video better be doing so because of how tedious replacing a headlight is, otherwise who the hell is unhappy with this tutorial lol. Incredibly helpful and professional-thank you!

T-30 torx bit, not T-35 for anyone wondering! This video was extremely helpful for installing aftermarket headlights.

This was a great tutorial that convinced me this is definitely not worth doing myself. Thank you!

I feel like I owe 1Aauto money for these vids. I’ve replaced my calipers, rotors, & brakes because of these vids. Now I’m replacing the headlight assembly soon and its so easy. Thank you 1AAuto for saving me so much money with these vids. 🙏🏻

I followed this and I am eternally grateful for how easy this video made it! Thanks!!

Hey, guys, I just spent an hour and a half going and calling around town looking for a T35 Torx bit that even Amazon doesn't carry. It's a 5mm hex head. Thanks.

I have never seen a video with explanation like this for head light replacement. All of 1A auto videos are Very helpful and anybody can understand. . Excellent !

God help me, I just ordered replacement lights. This'll probably be the most in depth car repair/work I've ever done. I'll report back when I'm done... or I give up.

Thanks for the step by step tutorial, it's nice to know where all the bolts are before diving straight into it.

So I bought these headlights and installed them. They’re awesome and this video walkthrough helped a ton. Before I did the install I made sure to have a T35 torx bit. I purchased a whole set on Amazon just to get that size. Turns out it’s a T30 torx bit. Save yourself the trouble of finding a T35. The T30s are EVERYWHERE. But seriously...buy these headlights and follow every other part of this video.

This video was extremely helpful and I bought the headlights from you guys and they are perfect. One note for adjusting the aim however that may help others: The nut to turn to adjust is a Phillips, yes, but it’s also a 10mm head. You can adjust both pretty easily from the top down with the hood open with a 1/4” socket and a shorter 10 mm. You don’t have to do all that finagling with removing the trim and stuff on the passenger side.

You guys have the best video's on you tube . Ive done so many installs watching your videos and saved hundreds of dollars. Keep up the gd work !!

Perfect review! Helped me a lot! Especially when installed and saw that the beam patterns were SUPER off. Thanks!!!

I appreciate this video. After watching it I can see it's best to adjust the lights before putting the bumper back on. Thanks once again.

Heads up for all of you people t35 Torx is a speciality and t30 works fine (source: my taken apart Honda’s front end).

just used this video to install new assemblies on this same car.. Made it super easy! Thank you very much!

Spot on. I changed out my headlight assemblies. Took me 2 hrs. I would recommend getting some extra clips though. Mines were crap and I ended up throwing some

Great video, love they don't edit out the mistakes or snags you run into. Replace those bulbs too folks, especially if you know they're old, you have it all apart anyway.

There's a minor error. You don't need to remove all the clips that hold the curved black rubber air dam like he is doing at 1:31 , just the first two on each side closest to the tires. You can see at 4:22 that the bumper mates with a *straight* panel on the car under the radiator. The car has nothing curved under the radiator, so most of the air dam clips are *not* attaching the bumper. It's not a big deal, but these clips tend to break upon removal. Removing the wrong ones increases the chances that you're left with broken clips.

Great video. I would adjust the headlights while the complete bumper is off so you have room to do everything. Replace one headlight first and then adjust your light to match the other.

Spot on dude. A little more challenging when front end been "kissed" a couple of times....👍

i looked this up thinking it was to replace just the bulb and not the whole light asbly and was like this is insane to do it this way for just the light but now it makes sense good video on the steps of how to do this.

Hi, thanks for the great video, my headlight brackets are rusty and falling off, need to replace them. Can you please tell me how long is the extension to reach the bolt inside behind headlight. I dont have such a long one, will have to arrange something.

The video was very helpful. I did search all over town for a T35 bit. Finally found one at Walmart of all places but my bolts were T30s, which I already had. Oh well, I would have spent days trying to figure out how to get the headlights changed

Wasn’t too hard. Just time consuming. Bought the headlights from you guys and they were here a day later. Finished the whole job in about 3.5 hours. Anyone who’s thinking of doing it but doesn’t have long extensions, those two bottom bolts in the metal bracket are a real pain to get too. I ended up just taking the metal crosspiece for the fender off. 6 12mm bolts. Once that was off I was able to access those bolts. Appreciate the video

My horn went out on 2011 Civic . The headlights need replacing anyway from oxidation . Your video helped a lot thx u

THAT WAS AMAZING.!!!! Thank you, now I feel confident I can change them myself 💖🙏

great video, very helpful. here are a few comments from someone who replaced their headlights from watching this video you can use a t-30 bit or an allen wrench (#5). weirdly, a t-35 bit did not fit if your civic has fog lights, it unclips on the passenger side. the cord isn't long so don't run off w/ the bumper i used a 14" extension which was plenty long the hardest part was simply unclipping the wires from the old headlight housing- mine were basically glued together w/ old dirt putting the bumper back on was surprisingly easy- easier than taking it off

Got my housings coming soon, gonna look dope with my leds.

8:04 your replacements have 2 silver adjustment screws, why? The factory lights have 1 (between the high and low beam), they have a fake/dummy spot where you guys actually have a screw. What do these do that the factory lights don't?

1A Auto,always the best methods and vids👌

Great tutorial except…. I woulda tested out the headlights and turn signals before putting the entire bumper back on 😂

Great video as always! Well done!

Video helped me a lot. Thank you

Took me 3 hours to do this … never again

Now what can I use to keep them from turning yellow again? Is Mcguires Ultimate wax ok to use?

Do the headlights you guys sell ACTUALLY have working headlight adjustment screws? I have some clear aftermarket ones currently installed (look like OEM) but the adjusters do not work. If I bought from you guys, would the adjusters work? If not, does the warranty cover it?

Wow man.... Honda engineers did not make these civics easy to work on!☹️😡

Thank you! Perfect video for installation.

Simple enough, thanks

Thanks guys, this video was very helpful.

Hey guys, I just purchased the replacement head lamps for my 2009 civic. I noticed in the video title and descriptor that this is for 06-08 only. Are there any major differences for the 2009 model? I assumed this would work for all 8th generation civics or am I incorrect? Thanks in advance and this is a great video!

and after you remove the engine, transmission and gas tank, you should be able to easily install the new bulb. omg, what were Honda thinking when they designed this thing!

Is there a way to compare adjustment of the old pr to the new pr? Looks tougher to adjust them than to do the whole job. Maybe the amount of threads showing on the adjusters?

Great video!!

Man those hidden bolts sure are a pain in the ass good thing they would never rust or become rounded Edit: If you can’t get that bracket off you can take off your fender to get the headlight out. I found that just taking out the one fender bolt next to the headlight one up top by the engine bay was enough movement to get the headlight out

Thank you! Very helpful.

Just my 2 cents- I did the undercarriage push clips last...that way I can tug on the bumper a little and actually see which ones are holding the bumper on.

Hey. Can you do a video of how to fix 2005 Honda Civic heater control panel light not showing?? I would appreciate you help! Thanks!

Perfect! What brand of black gloves are that with the grips?

Buen video ami gusto es bien video para aprendisaje

thanks for making this video has been very helpful

Wtf. You almost have to take the whole car apart to change a head light. Is like a $500 job to change a $12 bulb.

WTF. All of this just to replace a freaking headlight. What the hell were these engineers thinking?

Does the bumper bracket under the headlight attach to the fender ? I am replacing crushed passenger fender on 2009 civic.

Is there anyway to clean the inside of existing headlights ?

Why not just go behind the wheelwell by loosening the wheelwell cover, and turning the wheel inward for better access? Or on the drivers side remove the battery and the fluid reservoir to access the low beam? Both require less tools, time, and is easier? That how I change mine.

Hell he had to shrten the video cause it gone take u all day! And u better change both sides even if it don't need it!

Where can I buy headlight wire hardness? For my 2007 civic si sedan :(

These don’t fit a 07 Honda Civic! I am in the process of replacing them only to find out they don’t fit!! So pissed off

Is there such a thing as a t35? I can’t find one anywhere.

What is that black ribbed box at 10:51 ? My 2009 Honda doesn’t have one

Awesome thanks for this video

Please tell which number has the side marker bulbs.;)

Make a video on replacement of knock sensor in honda civic 8th gen

5:47 that bracket there that you see is my problem. I stripped the bolt on the one that holds the piece deep into the frame. wondering how to get that out?

You can't change the entire housing going through the wheel wells. Bulbs yes.

THANKS!

Good time to replace the bulbs. Don't put in LEDs since the reflectors are not designed for them. You can up grade bulbs but remember the higher power bulbs do not last as long. Personally I would say no blue bulbs I don't like them. Also if your area has snow or fog lower Kelvin bulbs produce less glare.

How come the rear plastic lenses look as good as the day the car was made. Dont they get as much sun as the front? 2010 civic lx

Seems easy 😂

That's a good example why I would never own a Honda. I work on all my cars, and Honda makes repairs unnecessary complicated.

I'm low on money but I don't care I'm literally not gonna do this myself

I need to change my bumper witha. New one,, but my headlight isn’t in place right do I need a new headlight or is there a way to to move it back into place 2006 coupe EX civic

Do the sedan headlights fit for the 2 door coupe??

Why are 2008 headlights brighter than 2018 headlights 2018 headlight low beams are black plastic

How do you get the broken bolt out?

Is this the same for a 2009 Honda Civic ???

Does anyone know what kind of bulbs I can get for this kit ?

Where’s your power tools ? Lol

People who don't have properly adjusted headlights honestly need to be ticketed and penalized. They are literally a hazard on the road with blinding LEDs. It's selfish and dangerous to just get the brightest bulbs out there and not give any consideration to others on the road.

What a ridiculous pain in the ass

If u break any clips, bolts, or screws, where do I get replacements?

How about get some power tools there bud, impact driver breaks wayyyyy less bolts then junk Rachets

I don’t own a car lift 😕

Oh hell no. I’d rather sell my car.

Video should be titled "How to Replace Headlight Assemblies 06-08 Honda Civic" I was looking to replace just the bulbs and this is way too much work for that. There is an easier way.

None of this is necessary. Whatever happened to doing things the easier way? You can go through the fender by popping down a couple tabs and sliding your hand in there. Anybody who is actually ripping apart the entire front end of this car to do a headlight has no right to be working on cars.

This is what happens when designers at automakers put sleek lines above practicality without thinking it through... I owned an '04 Saturn Ion and you didn't even need a tool to take the headlight assembly out of the body... just pull two pins by hand and it slides out. This (Honda) is stupid...

Reminds me why not to buy a HONDA
