HEADLIGHTS HONDA

Depends on the motor though doesn't it? I had an old Mondeo where the high beam was dead easy - literally 5 minutes from the engine bay like @Katie Hill said. But my mate's got some German motor and he proper had to take half the front bumper off just to get to the bulbs. Nightmare that was. Check your manual first before you start pulling things apart @user_4777

Just don't touch the glass bit of the new bulb with your bare fingers when you fit it. Oils from your skin create hot spots and the bulb will blow way quicker than it should. Learned that the hard way - changed a bulb without gloves, lasted about 3 weeks before it went again. Proper annoying. Use gloves or wrap it in the tissue from the box if you haven't got any.​

tbf removing the whole headlight assembly would make it easier if you've got arthritis or big hands. Some engine bays are so cramped you can barely get your hand in there, let alone see what you're doing. I've got a Golf and even though technically you can do it from behind, it's a right faff because there's no room. Sometimes taking a few screws out to drop the assembly forward gives you proper access and you can actually see what you're doing​​

@Ryan Phillips Yeah fair point that. My dad's the same, struggles with the fiddly clip on the back of the bulb when he can't see it properly. The metal retaining clip can be right awkward to release when you're doing it blind. If you've got the time and patience to take the assembly out, probably worth doing it properly rather than getting frustrated trying to do it by feel alone​

One thing - make sure you disconnect the battery before you start. I know it sounds obvious but I've seen people nearly short something out messing with the electrics whilst it's still live. Just the negative terminal is fine, takes 30 seconds with a spanner. Better safe than sorry innit​

@LiCoKe good shout. Also @user_4777 when you disconnect the wiring plug from the back of the bulb, there's usually a little tab you need to press to release it. Don't just yank on the wires or you'll damage the connector. Press the tab, wiggle it gently and it should come straight off. Then the bulb normally twists anticlockwise to come out.​

And test them before you put everything back together! Nothing worse than reassembling it all, closing the bonnet, then finding out the new bulb's duff or you didn't seat it properly. Just turn the ignition on (don't need to start the engine) and flick the high beams on to check they're both working. Saved me having to do the job twice more than once.​

@Ben Taylor Absolutely this. Also worth doing both sides at the same time even if only one's gone. If one bulb's failed, the other one's probably not far behind - they're usually the same age aren't they. Plus you don't want mismatched brightness with one old dim bulb and one bright new one. Looks daft and you'll only be doing the same job again in a few weeks anyway.​
