Honda Civic -- How to Replace Turn Signal Bulb 2006-2011

[@WIZxKHALIFAxMAN]

HI DIY I am commenting this on a few video in hopes that you see but I was able to successfully replace the fender on my 2017 Honda civic because of the 6 or so step by step videos you did on it. Not only did you save me a ton of money, it was a great bonding experience for me and my dad to work on my car and have it turn out perfectly. Never worked on a car a DAY in my life but with you video i was able to!

[@junebug92x]

just FYI if ya turn wheel all the way left,,,,,gives ya a little more room bud . thanks for good vid !

[@tombigelow6046]

Thanks for the video! I was able to change out my bulb which was not lighting up but sounded like it was blinking 2x as fast. Don't be afraid to really pull on that fender cover. I turned my wheels before starting as someone else pointed out. It also helps to look at the blinker from the outside as you are pulling, pushing, twisting the bulb in and out of place similar to what DIYer did.

[@alanesmith3053]

Thanks for your comment. I wondered if turning the wheel would make it easier to get at.

[@jesscbf6688]

This took me 15 mins to change both front turn signal bulbs thanks to your video. Thank you so much! Repair shop would’ve charged me about $70-90 each side.

Glad I could help!🤙🏽

[@maddrummer910]

Dude, I was spinning my wheels until I saw your video, thank you so much you made this job so easy. It’s people like you that make KZbin a great place to learn. 🙏🏻

[@DIYHonda]

I love comments like this! I’m so glad I could help! :)

The bulb is 1157, which is clear. You do not need the Amber bulb 1157A if the lens covering is already orange.

[@jacquicaulfield4880]

I tried using the 1157 for my 2008 Honda civic but I’m not able to twist it in.. any ideas why that’s happening?

[@martymckay297]

@@jacquicaulfield4880you’re not doing it right or you have the wrong bulb

[@alanesmith3053]

This video is very thorough. Thank you for posting! I will change my bulb tomorrow with some confidence. LoL It made me wonder if a person can reach the main headlamp this way, because those are a pain to change!!

[@alanesmith3053]

Agreed, those main head lamps are awful to change!!

[@seekin1111]

How about turning your steering wheel to the left so the tire is out of the way some?

[@johnholcomn8560]

😂

[@CosineKitty]

This was a helpful tip in addition to the video. Turning the wheel left (or right for driver side) does help give you a lot more room to put your arm up in that wheel well.

[@mattinspace769]

Only video to actually help! Amazing thank you

[@NOTTHATATALL]

bro.. this is the best tutorial 🙏

[@stormychu5677]

Thanks, quick video and easy to understand. Replaced mine within 5 minutes.

[@tj7516]

You doing excellent job with your videos! These will be very helpful as I work on my newly acquired car. Thank you!

[@DIYHonda]

Thank you for the kind words. 🤙🏽

[@TGerhardt]

My hands are scratched up pretty good now,

[@myam754]

Thanks for saving me money!

[@abbybottar2297]

What kind of bulbs do you need for a 2007 Honda Civic? The ones you linked on Amazon say they won't fit my car?

[@joshuapaddock954]

Did you ever find a bulb that worked? I’ve got the same problem. The ones he linked say they won’t fit. Mines a 2006

[@kryptik0]

@@joshuapaddock954 Remove the bulb and take it to the store to find replacement. It should be 1157 clear.

[@justshawn5055]

Thanks man! Life saver

[@TrungDo-w6g]

Thank you ❤👍

[@curry102]

Is this a hybrid? I have an lx, and my blinkers connectors are more flat. The led bulbs I purchased have circular connectors like yours though and don’t fit.

[@Sean-et8vb]

Thanks I was struggling to get the damn bulb back in the hole

[@joelruiz9762]

Bro I was struggling getting them in too? Any input?

[@carrotzcarrotz5623]

Well explained good job more diy honda jobs

[@trippymexican2558]

Gracias 🙏

[@vickyshort5682]

This worked. The part with the plastic clip was already fallling apart for me

[@lotsaluck721]

I removed the windshield but I could not reach the bulb still

[@alanesmith3053]

😳 I guess this was a joke, right? 😂

[@kaikemp1388]

very helpful

[@DIYHonda]

Glad it helped! 🤙

[@rickscott5290]

Can you show how to remove the front bumper on a Honda Clarity?

[@PABP21]

Hello, i got a Honda civic coupe 2008 and my front left turn singal bulb is brighting way more than the one on the right, and when i turn the left signal it blinks very fast, the back blinker is working fine also.. any advice? thanks !

[@TGerhardt]

I have the exact same problem, and the solution is just replacing the bulb. Now the bulb is a double filament, one filament is always on when your headlights are on, and the other is for the blinker, which is a way brighter filament then the "always on" filament. Your blinker filament is most likely busted if it signals way faster and isn't as bright as the other side. Hope this helps you, I'm about to replace my bulb as well.

[@PABP21]

@@TGerhardt thanks for the response! But already replaced the bulb 2 times! The first one was burned out, replaced it, still acts the same, replaced it for other one and it acts the same.. I’m lost lol, maybe it’s The back bulb making the fault? But the back left bulb works

[@TGerhardt]

@@PABP21 Did you use LED or Halogen bulbs?

[@TGerhardt]

That's be very odd if the problem was the rear

[@PABP21]

@@TGerhardt the same as the one in the vid, but the one on the front left has a diff base

[@stuge8881]

Appreciate it

[@avwong9063]

Are you an LA base Honda mechanic?

[@0127asif]

Where is the ground location for those bulbs

[@fklotaloi]

What abt the driving side one?

[@timothysturm9628]

Driver side should be the same bulb. I'm waiting to see if anyone here says there's TWO filaments in that bulb because the one, I want to change works as a TURN signal but not as a running light so it MUST be a 2-filament bulb, right?

[@brayanchojolan6609]

What can I do if the previous owner left light bulbs stuck in there?

[@DIYHonda]

Can you explain a little further?

[@brayanchojolan6609]

@@DIYHonda there were a bunch of light bulbs in there that fell off and I couldn't fit another one, but I already fixed it 😅 I'm going change everything anyway Thank you btw

[@ayalac76]

It might help to give more space if you turn the wheel to the right

[@thomasdeng5434]

Hi sorry to bother you here, this is Hester, we're here to invite you to collaborate with us on the Center Console Cover for 08-12 Honda Accord. We'd be glad to send you some free samples, seeing if you're interested.

[@Hotterdotcom]

Thanks!! 🙏

[@livefreeordie9925]

You could’ve just take of the tire 🛞 and it will be much easier….OR turn your wheel full left or right
