Default Headlight bulb replacement '04 Accord EX

I know it's here somewhere but can't seem to find it.
Need to know method to replace passenger side low-beam bulb. I can't find my manual either, so instead of that expense I thought I ask here. DO I have to access it from underneath or can it be done from up top? Looks difficult either way. Thanks in advance.

For low beam, remove the inner fender cover is what shop manual says. You'll have to remove wheel for access.

Use search of "headlight" to see if you can find any leads, pics, on this site.

Try youtube "honda accord headlight bulb replacement". Lots of videos.

good luck

Thanks for that Redbull. This is lot better than removing entire inner fender cover. The shop manual did not make that clear.

good luck

Thank you for the info. Found that I had to loosen screws on light retaining ring before I could turn (twist) it to come out. Appreciate the quick replies.

Many apologies! I thought the do-it-yourself section was for questions regarding doing things yourself. I'll re-read the rules. Sorry.

The description that shows up in the general list of boards isn't the best it's actually kinda misleading. And us mods & admin can't change that.

But we're trying to make the DIY forum into a place for good detailed write-ups.
