Thank you! Helped me replace badly hazed and aged headlight assemblies on my 2003 civic hybrid. I found you when I got to the “Do I really need to take off the bumper?” stage. Good to see all the little gotchas.

[@SoulKiller15]

These video's have saved me hours of frustration. I really want to know what was going through the designer's heads when they made it impossible to remove these without removing your bumpers. XD I love Honda, but sheesh!

[@johnsmith1474]

It could not be easier, you fool.

[@heavyhitta6905]

Very annoying

[@davidvadney742]

@@johnsmith1474 yeah it could it’s called not having to take off the bumper 😂😂 omg

[@whappidy]

Thank you very much for this video. I was at a loss for how to do this until I found you guys. It was very easy to follow with the entire process taking about an hour...the hardest part being the bolts under the headlight assembly. Again, thank you and God bless.

[@bestgirlsdad]

Thank you. I noticed that the passengers low beam was out on my daughter's 2003 Civic. I don't know much about Civics. Glad I found your video. I did take off the battery bracket so I could push the battery slightly out of the way. I was having trouble getting my hand down in there. Thanks again.

[@175epi]

Great explanation and demonstration. I'm all thumbs when it comes to stuff like this, but thanks to you, I was able to change the bulbs in my daughter's car in nothing flat. Took me longer to get the grease off my hands than it did to get them dirty in the first place.

Most of the smaller clip bolts are 8mm and below. Sometimes there are really small ones in the size of 5.5mm

[@jakeneufeld5885]

Thanks!

[@1AAuto]

We'll keep this in mind in the event that we need to make this repair in the future.

[@dirtyberniesgarage1194]

Those bolts underneath weren’t to bad. I found that using a longer extension and going from the bottom made them easier. But I thank you for this vid. It made life much easier 🍺

[@ZeekyBoogyDoog]

9:20 so howd that puddle of antifreeze or washer fluid get there?

[@Missblissmom1]

Wish you'd shown how to replace the driver side light bulb as well. That side has a lot more stuff in the way and is harder to navigate. Really could have used the help!

[@1AAuto]

+x4prilsF00Lx Thanks for the tip!

[@ratiquette]

If anyone else is having this problem, the power steering reservoir slides up and out of its mount - no tools required. This allows you to move it to the left for easier access to the headlight assembly.

[@jacobvids]

Followed this video to replace my left passenger bulb. Thank you! May I add, when replacing the boot, make sure the three prongs of the bulb go in the hole of the boot.

[@1AAuto]

+jacobvids Thanks for the feedback!

[@anthony7642]

Thanks for saving me a lot of headaches changes both bulbs while I was at it took a while not a hard job just a pain in the ass to change a bulb.

[@iZam1981]

Thanks.... from Mexico!!!

[@1AAuto]

Unfortunately at this time we are currently working on other videos but we will definitely take that into consideration for a later date.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Near the end there is suddnely this pool of either window cleaner or coolant?! did something break in this process?

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Do you also know or have video about the automatic vertical height adjuster of a Honda Civic 2001, the hatchback model.

[@cdubbington]

When fitting the front bumper back on does it fit completely over the headlight brackets or do the slots line up with the top of the bracket?

[@louis-simonleroux653]

Much appreciated man ! 🤝

[@gogoldude]

My 2003 civics low beam keeps burning and not working but the high beam function works just fine. Anyone knows what’s going on?

[@jasonpcurtiscpa]

I wish I had the tools to do it your way. The driver's side headlight was a pain in the bootay with these big hands. I had to use needle nose plyers and a screwdriver to jimmy everything out and back in. Felt more like a surgeon than a mechanic. 😂 It can be done though!!

[@careyunderhill492]

Thanks, great video

[@johnmclaren7059]

Pre spray bolts with penetrating oil and allowed to soak prior to removing rusty bolts!

[@marcos3711]

Thanks... from Brazil.

[@1AAuto]

Thank you for watching. Please let us know how the repair comes out! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

[@owengerm1048]

you dont have to take the bumper off, if you just move the power steering reservoir to the side it gives you enough room to take the boot off

[@newdeals1217]

Hi thanks for the great video. Would mind putting where you could purchase some of the clips to reattached the bumper? I am in Canada?

[@tazinfluence5356]

Amazon

[@kayzuchoyt3320]

Honda dealer amazon or autozone

[@6433-w8t]

amazon. get a pack of abt 100 for like $8us

[@anthony7642]

Try your local bakery

[@xK1NGxK1LLAx]

The high and low beam from the same bulb?

[@1AAuto]

No unfortunately they do not fit perfectly without some heavy modifications to the housing.

[@sherylericsson176]

My low beam are not working DTL and hight beams are fine.... This happend only after the car was in a accident I'm guessing the lightbulbs just need replaced.

[@j.cx.8292]

Does this tutorial also apply to 2008 honda civic?

[@1AAuto]

+Zhengzhe Xie No. It may be a different procedure on that particular vehicle. 1aauto.com

[@usafalcon4466]

can you make a video how to Change Brake Pads on chevy tahoe 2003?

[@adammammana367]

Remove the bumper cover…horrible. If I was replacing the assembly ok but I’m restoring them. Sanding and spraying new clear coat. It’s permanent too. Brand new is hard to beat though.

[@1AAuto]

It could be just a burnt out filament in the bulb. Yo may want to try replacing the bulb first. Hope this helps yo out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

[@1AAuto]

It should be the same bulb. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

[@1EVILZ06]

Those clips are a nightmare.... especially after they get some age on them.

[@RA1NM4N978]

8:51 I think that's what she said and wanted

[@davidsimmons177]

Our cars are easy to work on - Honda

[@OG213LA]

What a stupid video. For the right light just remove the power steering reservoir. For the left light just remove the battery.

[@1AAuto]

+OG213LA We appreciate the feedback. Sometimes there are multiple ways to accomplish the same repair.

[@6433-w8t]

i was dreading replacing my housings and im happy i saw this comment.

[@raineetriche9685]

This video is not stupid at all !!

[@Pablo-rg3th]

So you really have to take off the bumper just to change both headlights or is there a shorter way???
