Honda Fit Jazz 2007 Headlight Bulb Replacement 💡

[@seancurran9982]

Changing that bulb was a huge pain in the ass but I wouldn't have been able to do it without this video so thanks for saving me an unnecesary trip to the mechanic.

Hey buddy. Watched your video this morning and did the job on my wife's car this afternoon. No point in trying to work around the wheel, so I resigned myself to the fact that I was going to have to remove it first. All went as smoothly as you suggested. As far as 'changing a bulb' goes, it's obviously a pain the arse, but as far as car jobs in general go, it was pretty straightforward. I got it done in 45 mins (including getting tools out, cleaning up and packing away) and I was in no rush. So just to say thanks for the advice, I really didn't fancy taking that bumper off. Cheers, Steve.

Excellent approach. Will give this method a go this weekend and update my feedback. Many thanks

I did this recently by loosening the front bumper to get the headlamp unit out which was a faff. Not sure going under would have been any easier by the time you have jacked the car up, removed a wheel, the wheel arch liner and then gone through the contortion upside down! Crazy design.

Who ever decided this would be fine to sell should have been fired.

Followed the manual, did it this way, removing the wheel. Absolutely sucked, had zero vision once i put my hand anywhere near the back of the headlight. Had to do everything by feel. Was a one hour nightmare. Two months later light went out again....may try one of the front entrance via the bumper: the bumper idea that seemed way overkill before, now seems quite reasonable...:)

Depending on how large your hands are, you can get away with just turning the wheel and not undoing as many of the plastic tabs. It's still a pain and you're still going blind but it's significantly easier

I'm with you on this Grant, I don't have the dexterity / feel to change the bulb via the wheel arch (trying to unclip/reclip the retaining spring drove me nuts). Taking the bumper of and headlight out doesn't take that long, is way less frustrating and allowed me to polish the headlight lenses, treat some bits of rust, give everything a good clean.

@@SvayaG i tried that again, can barely move my hand. Failed, so after another wasted hour, dropped by an auto electrician: 20 bucks and 2 minutes later, done...!! Money well spent...:)

Brilliant thank you...

This is the worst design. I ended up having a headache 😅
