Honda Fit Headlamp Replacement (Quick)

[@VovkaZ]

Shoutout to this video, as it's the only clear visual of the retaining pin on the headlight assembly that I was able to find anywhere online. Mine jumped out, and I was trying to figure out the mechanism without being able to see it and taking my headlight entirely out. Props!

[@myducks911]

Thank you!! I was looking everywhere for a video for installing new headlamps. My ‘13 Fits headlights are scratched and damaged and I also didn’t put the rubbing gaskets back because of the LEDS. Thank you for sharing to just cut the gaskets to fit! You just saved my new headlamps!

[@stephenschwab7143]

Thanks. You've convinced me that I do not have the skill to do this. Damn. I envy your ability and your optimism. What would take a mechanically competant man 1 hour would take me about ten.

[@nordic7286]

You can do it. As I did today. As a 49 year old woman lol. Took me 2 hours mostly because my car had some side damage so I had to bend the frame a bit back in place.

[@bastionwolfhart634]

VERY helpful. Saved me a TON of time not removing whole bumper. Thank you brother.

[@zorak1977]

Great video, two points: When pulling it out the plastic part under the fender has a tab that can be finicky to get loose, I used a flat head screwdriver to keep it wedged open. When putting it back together, do the front under bolt first, it can be hard to get right when everything else is secured.

[@IvanRossS]

They're very finicky to get loose and most of the time they getting break...

[@lelsewherelelsewhere9435]

Thank you for such a thorough, well explained, great angles/video/shot, shortcut included video! Thank you for spending all the extra time and working into the night to get those good angles, and do it right!

[@garylim3850]

Excellent video and tips. Instead of removing the bumper this makes the job so easier.

[@DarthDaddy2k]

Fantastic video! Appreciate the detailed photos and tip on how to avoid pulling the entire front bumper wrap. P.S. Be careful with that break cleaner brother ;)

[@trickym5748]

I was looking everywhere for a video of removing the headlights all I got was changing the bulbs ones which you can’t do on mine without removing them 👍

[@Kaiyo_no_Ookami]

Thank you! I can’t believe I found a video this good on the first try. 😂 Replacing my severely cataract headlights soon.

[@AndresRodriguez-bz1vl]

I read the title and immediately I knew you were a god

[@NerdissimusRex]

Excellent, thorough video. Enabled me to replace the headlights on my son's Fit without major torments. I agree that OEM parts are not necessary. The $233 pair I got from Amazon fit perfectly and work perfectly. I installed all bolts except the blind upward facing bolt first. This seemed to position things so that the installation of the blind bolt was uneventful.

[@omermeho2851]

thanks for the video ..i just changed my headlights, but i took the bumper off and made it a lot easier. it just took a little more time

[@cannukian1]

Thanks for making a detailed video!

[@danielslane4058]

Very helpful video - thank you for sharing! I feel as if I can tackle this now on my own on my new (old) fit! Do have any issues with the lasfit LED lights? I want to replace my headlights but it seems like so many people have issues with them flickering or not working correctly. Thanks!

[@rebelcave8556]

Looking about doing this on mine. Doesn’t look that bad. Thanks for this.

[@nordic7286]

Thanks for the awesome video! Did this easy job today. My only issue is that ,the side I changed originally, the low beam light wasn't working Now the low beams aren't working on both sides. Checked the fuses and they're good. Any tips on what I can do?

[@alecs5150]

Thanks for the excellent vid! Really helped make it relatively easy - HATE the way cars are built these days - everything plastic clips into everything. Only problem I had was starting the blind vertical bolts on the bottom inside front of each assembly, wadda PITA.

[@davidtaylor6918]

More than just a really big THANK YOU!

[@pairofjacksJJ]

You don’t need to cut down the black headlight gasket tight sealer. All you need to do is loosen the brackets from the led headlight itself and put the bracket first from the led headlight, put the black gasket 2nd and then the led light bulb 3rd and make sure you push it tightly and securely. That should do the trick. Nor need to cut the black gasket and make it worse.

[@youquagmire]

I can't help but notice that it got dark in the process of not taking off the bumper to change the lights. Good video though, I like how you got the camera into all the places you needed to show.

[@IvanRossS]

It's the old video, but from what I remember I started late and with the video process it took me too longer to do the entire job, so I was running out of daytime light lol.

Hello ~ might you know if these same dis-assembly instructions apply to the 2013 Honda FIT? I see your comment re: "2nd generation which was produced since 2007-2014" so I'm hopefully.

[@IvanRossS]

Yes same car :)

Do your want me to come to you to replace it too ?. Do you want to link to my socket wrench set too ?..Dang. U can't just google?. "Trim removel tool set" They sell them everywhere now.

[@Charkatak]

Hey! I recently got 2010 Fit where Honda dealer replaced headlights with new ones before my purchase. I do see there is a gap of 5mm along side where bumper meets the bottom of headlight assembly. It is on both headlights. Will I be able to readjust/reseat the headlight by loosening the bolts as you show in the video?

[@chrisdarnell9280]

I appreciate this bro 🏆

[@Gr8thxAlot]

I refinished mine instead of new lights, and that was a terrible process due to the weird shape of these. Trying to clearcoat them was very hard. It took two refinishing kits and it turned out okay, but not great. If they need it again, I'll just get new lights.

[@IvanRossS]

I couldn't refinished mine because damage was from the inside. Well technical it was not a damage it was dirty and open it up to clean was way to much work.

[@thomashimes2413]

Could you send the link to which lasfit leds you used?

[@christopherroshon1036]

I have a lasfit question. Did you get an DRL error on your dash? Did you need a decoder? Did it go away? Thanks

[@IvanRossS]

I do have that error, but I run my headlamps ON constantly!! They was rewire long time ago by electrician and they automatically turns off when you turns off ignition

[@IvanRossS]

You can look into getting another bulbs that will not trigger that error.

[@chrisr2190]

Lasfit told me the running lights just wont work. I am getting a decoder just to see if it makes a difference. Thanks

[@_TheSwissTraveller]

Hello, my original light is not LED. Can I still replace it by LED? Also I have a Honda Jazz from UK, I would like to replace it with EU standard, is there any complications?

[@kianakan96826]

That was Great! I wish I could see the difference between the old lights and the new lights. I want to do this to my 2011 Honda Fit Sport, but I will just have to get someone to do it for me.

[@IvanRossS]

Was no point showing difference because headlight bulbs was changed too. Main reason i changed headlamps because it was opened from the inside for a while and it was a lot of dirt and moisture inside out the window that was impossible to clean.. Your headlamps just can be buffed out if they're just foggy and you can replace bulbs to LED and I can guarantee you it will improve visibility tremendously. Damage on your headlamp probably just from the sun it that can be easily repaired. It will never going to look as good as brand new headlamp but definitely much better. Even Walmart resurface headlights for like $50

[@DavidMorris-pq4jq]

When I replaced my regular bulbs with LED bulbs, I lost the beam. It was bright, but more like a flood light. No beam. Not sure which is better. I need to change the entire assembly now, so thanks for showing how we can do it without removing the entire bumper. The auto shop charges over $300 for the labor, not including the assembly itself.

[@guillermorios8223]

With some LED bulbs, yes. You can pull the DRL fuse(marked as such in the fuse box diagram printed on the fuse box cover.

[@skh1825]

Hi...my plastic headlight lens appears to have some moisture or water stains on the inside of the lens. Can just the plastic lens be removed or do you have to replace the entire headlight assembly? I see some clips that appear to hold the lens in place. Can I just pry the clips up and remove (and clean) the lens only? I started to try that but didn't want to break something! Thanks!

[@IvanRossS]

It's way too much work I would just replace head lamp. Because that lens holds to the assembly body by special silicone glue and for you to take it apart you have to bake it in oven, It will soft that glue and will allow you to separate Lanes. then you can clean your lens put it back together but u have to reseal it with new glue... like it's really too much work. I would do something like this to original Mercedes or BMW headlights that cost $500 and more.

[@jakeryan9469]

4:25 don't forget to put this guy back

[@PaulAndMuttley]

@@IvanRossS I started to pry the lens off the housing but saw that it was sealed and probably would need the assembly completely removed to have any chance of doing this. Plus the lens may be too damaged to clean up. Found a pair of lamps for $183 but picture looks a bit different. Should these work? www.ebay.com/itm/231168237401

is that c6 bulbs good??? how long does it work?

Yeah, you're still removing the bumper

[@perpetualgrimace]

Anyone out there about to follow this tutorial: you can just remove the rubber cover, undo the harness and take out the light. You don't need to take your car apart to change a light bulb. The bit about trimming the rubber cover was useful though.

[@IvanRossS]

Bumper holds to the headlamp on the bottom of it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! U can't just pull out headlamp like that

You should advise viewers that putting a LED bulb in a headlight designed for Halogen is illegal in most states, snd may result in a ticket, or failed inspection.

I'm sorry not in my State... every state have different rules and regulation this is your responsibility to follow them! not mine!
