A couple suggestions, if you also need to change your high beams and upgrade your fog lights to LEDs for example, now's the time to do it. All at once with easy access for everything. One additional hot tip, now is the time to polish your headlights while they are away from the paint. It's really easy and fast
Thank you. Your video was very helpful. I had no luck getting in through wheel well to service the lamps, too. Used WD-40 on push locks. It really helps to not to break them when disassembling.
Yo this video helped a lot! I’ve been nervous to do it myself for a while so I would pay a guy to do it. Figured it was about time I did it myself and it’s not so scary anymore. Turned into about 2 hours of frustration and fun!
Nice video. I did this, but without removing the bumper and headlight housings. Let me just tell you that I will never do that again! Took me 3 hours! The worst part is getting the igniter ground plugged back in.
Quick question at 7:20 you are removing a cable that you are indicating that's holding the d2s bed for the bulb. Does it has any purpose other then holding it such as completing the circuit or anything like that. I couldn't be able to plug it back due to the fact that there has nearly not a space left after placing led projectile which is including a cooling fan behind it which covered nearly the entire space. I couldn't even place the d2s bed into the headlight sealing space and for that reason I also couldn't put the sealing back on and it's open. Trying to figure out how to hide d2s bed in there and seal it with the sealing cap we have firstly removed.
I used to live a few houses down from you in that complex with the modded silver tsx; used to own a silver wrx bugeye wagon, too. my left hid ballast died this week. thanks for the vid.
This was a very helpful video. Very thorough and easy. I swapped my headlights with new ones. Only thing he doesn’t mention is when you disconnect the battery you will need a code to reset it. Got to wait the weekend to call sewer for proper code
Nice video, when you had the headlight unit out could you see where the left-right beam alignment is? The up-down is in plain sight but I can't find the other.
EpicJonTuazon , I had to have one of my headlights replaced on my 2014 tsx se and it looks like the projector beam is pointing toward the center of the car vs it being straight. I can easily find the adjustment screw for the up-down alignment of the light but can't find the left-right to make the beam straight. I was going off the symbols on the headlight housing "maybe there isn't on for left-right adjustment" Sorry if I wasn't clear before.
Do you have a link where I can buy OEM speck high beam light bulbs and turning signal light bulbs...I plan on replacing all mine......for my Acura Tsx 2012...Great video....
Hey would the sylvania zxe 9005 bulbs work good like the ones you used? My driver side headlight just burned out lastnight and I need to replace it. Great video by the way!
@@EPICJONTUAZON oh ok good to know, my TSX is a 2009, what bulbs did you get? Where did you buy them? I'll just use those since they looked real good in yours. My high beams work fine. It's the regular headlights I need
Thank you very helpful i will be doing this in 2 weeks time but im getting my inner light plastic sprayed black and the indicator cover taken out my Euro is black and i can't stand the yellow indicator covers. Mine is a 2010 Accord Euro from Australia id assume to take off my bumper and light removal would be the same as this. Thanks again
is there any way to adjust the bulbs you just did? I see the running adjustment nipple but not the one for the bulbs you just did. Does any one know how to adjust it?
@@EPICJONTUAZON I bought D2s HID Headlights low beams 6,000 k and Sylvania 2 Halogen lamp bulbs 12.8v, 65 w, white lights , hope that makes sense, are these the wrongs ones lol
@@sulemavasquez8261 no they sound like the right ones. You won't be able to adjust the high beams. The HID bulbs themselves you won't either. I got confused with LED bulbs for a sec. On the back of the headlight housing there should be screws to adjust the level of the beam you'll have to take the headlight out make an adjustment and put em back in to see where they line up.
Great video! I thought about using a flathead to free the bumper from the annoying clips, but I was really worried about the flathead scratching the paint on my bumper. Was it difficult to maneuver the small flathead without rubbing against the bumper? Again, great video! I'll probably use this going forward :)
Hi, great video explaining this process! Subbed because of it! Just a quick question, as you got 6500k HID do you think this will closely match with 6000k LED DRL/high beams as currently, as stock, they look too much apart colour wise, and I want them to be as close as possible?
Yeah, I have replaced my High Beams to 6000K LED, so I was wondering what colour temp HID to get to match closely to the High Beams colour wise? I'm am debating whether to get 6000K HID or 6500K HID, if you could help? Thanks
it did help thank you I just bought a 09 Acura and I will like to know how to remove the logo in front of the bumper cause mines is all scratch can you Help me out?
Alejandro Pagan Castro you want halos in ur headlights? I'm not sure about black specifically but I'd recommend Lightwerkz in NJ they're a great company to start with!
Trust me your way is way too make sense to change hid bulbs either with hids or leds. I have gone to the other way which took me slightly more than 2,5 hours. Had to remove the battery, and grounding wire on the right side and had to work with one hand and without seeing anything but just feeling the surfaces. It was genuinely frustrating. I certainly advise you guys to take the bumper off and then the headlights which will even save you time and effort I believe, cheers.
I have a 2011 tsx. When i turn on my car...the light turns but then slowly turns amber. After like 15 secs...it shuts off. Do you think that is a bulb prob or ballast?
I would try replacing the bulbs first. That would be the cheap and easy fix. If it continues to happen with a new set of bulbs then you know its probably the ballast.
I need help putting the bumper back together. Please upload a video or anybody have a video on how you put the front bumper back. I did everything but couldn’t get it to line up or something hold it to push it in the clips
Quick question: Where did you buy your HID headlight bulbs? I saw the link you gave in your comments and I order but when the light bulbs came they were not in the official box like you had in your video...could you post the link again and confirm if the ones I got from Amazon is good? The box is just plain white...
Im about to do this tomorrow morning bcs i tried the other way (going in blind) and it was awful and i dont wanna keep messing anything up since its really hard to connect the ground cable back (again going in blind) so anyone wjo tried this and worked, how long does this process take?
On the passanger side it's fairly easy to replace the blub but on the drivers side...no chance. Even my car dealer remove the bumper, because it's much easier
+EpicJonTuazon one thing is different to mine Honda Accord (live in Europe, they sold these as Hondas): the wheel arch do only have one screw on each side. Do you have a sport package? Maybe that's why you have three screws.
my Honda Accord in the UK has the three screws though, so it may be the case, because the special edition one has a lip on the bottom of the bumper in the UK
When changing my hid bulbs, I could t get the little top white connector back in. But the lights still work. What exactly does that wire do on top? Does it just hold the ballast in like you said? Thanks.
Thank you very helpful once you found the 4th screw. My self at least I hear what I need to and then I stop watching. Would be nice to edit the initial screw could as I was confused and had to watch further for you to realize you meant to say 4 screws.

What a piece of crap! You shouldn't have to pull half the car apart just to replace a headlight bulb. It's a friend's car I'm reaserching installing new headlight housings but if it were my car it would be going up for sale as soon as the job was done.
