Awesome video!! Have the same model in black. Changing the fog light setup to amber, just waiting on the new headlamps. Been trying to find the wing you have, can't find it nowhere...any advice??
Impeccable walk-through Striker50! I wish you made all the videos I have to watch to figure out how to do something. Thanks for all the extra work it takes to make it this good!
I'm a bit tapped out right now on DIY's, fixing up my "new" 2015 Accord. I went through your video list and saved out everything I'm likely to run into, also as a reminder to check in on your MINT channel. Thanks for your offer though! First thing that comes to mind, I'll post it here. Peace!
@@mikeotten6797 I could definitely agree with you on that. I got like 40 videos on my to do list myself What do you mean by mint channel? And of course 👌 I'm a holler away
I'm elderly, it might have gone out of fashion, but "mint" used to be a synonym for "(f) GOLDEN"! (perfect, superb, crisp, tight, cherry, ... and so on). Pointless trivia: the Oxford English Dictionary lists over 300 synonyms for the word "good" (which probably includes "sick", and "bad").
@@mikeotten6797 Ah, understood! The word itself is alive and well. I was under the impression I perhaps unknowingly had a playlist titled as that. I appreciate the compliment! Mint has a good ring; I'll be incorporating it more in my vocab 🗣️
BEST VIDEO!! This is the only video that makes sense. Others mentioned to pull off the button underneath on left side (Driver side on Australian model). I am right handed but in order to twist the left side, I have to use my left hand as to get more leverage but it was FAILED. Still, I followed the right side method which loosen up the larger screw with washer. Now, since the button has broken, I was using the zip tie to tighten the gap. And, the best part was, I was too lazy to jack-up the car ...so, I was using a flash light and a mobile phone camera to look underneath the car just to get the idea where the screws are and then using my screwdriver to locate and twist it. Took about the same time where I need to lift the car and put everything back into places.
I see your using LED's, but for regular bulbs - one thing I would mention is - DO NOT TOUCH - the new bulbs, the oil from finger prints will cause them to overheat in short time. If you've experienced bulbs not lasting very long, this could be why. (I learned the hard way!) Great video by the way!
Thanks! Yup, notice I only handle it by the base. Halogens get much hotter and can crack when oil is on them. I usually mention that in my other bulb videos
PRO TIP: You can leave the bottom Under carriage screws slightly loose so that in the future you never have to go under the car again! If you do this, all of the future services can be done from the front of the car, so that you don't have to go under with a sketchy jack, or squeeze your arm in through the side of the bumper and risk snapping the bumper's fastener clips 🚗
What brand do you recommend for high beams? I keep hearing flickering issue and/or lifespan being short. Thanks for the video btw! Im doing mine tomorrow.
My brotha, say less: a.co/d/a6ecZdg I've had these for like 4 years with no issues. Here's the high beam video: ua-cam.com/video/FgJwu5kVlkA/v-deo.html Flickering you see is because of the camera refresh rate, they do not flicker in person.
Nice detailed video … well done 👍. Question: what kind of LED fog light are you using - does it have to be a fan one? On the screw you loosen from the bottom, what is the purpose of that screw? Does that hold up the assembly or is it for adjustment ? Can you detail that a bit more ? Thanks
Thanks I have the bulbs listed in the description They do have a fan, but does not have to be a fan The screw holds the outer rectangular trim in place, but honestly, the clips around the plastic trim are way more than strong enough on their own where you don't need the screw. The screw does not adjust the light angle, and you can find more information on this in the fog light section of the owners manual if it interests you
@@Striker50_ Am going to have my accords headlight replaced because they are getting fogged up. I tried polishing them and they do clear up for a while but then they fog up again, seems like everything I try I keep coming back to the same problem. I figure you swapped out fog lights maybe, you’ve also done headlights too.
@@skylane1828 Yup I see what you mean. I got just the video for you. Your referencing oxidation. That's why I asked because I wanted to know if you're referring to when it gets foggy from the inside when moisture gets in the light or when it gets oxidizing hazy.
I wish I had watched this first! I just removed ALL the plastic push pins underneath the front to look in and find I went down a rabbit hole! Oh well, live and learn.
if I lost my screws how can I replace them , I think my bracket is broken I'm not sure. I bought some after market fog lights for my 2015 Honda accord EXL 2.4
Hey thanks for reaching out: Some sellers can send you the screws if you message them and tell them. In addition, you can check out Amazon and look for assorted screws package. If they don't fit, just make sure they have free returns and you can be good that way. Hope that helps
Hi there…is there another way of getting to the fog lights instead of the bottom? I had a hard time trying to remove the one screw that releases the outer housing of the fog lights. I see the screw, but just can’t seem to line it up with my screwdriver. Is there another way to replace the bulb?
An extended screwdriver may help. The driver side fog light is accessible by pulling back the plastic, but the passenger side you will have to pull it out through the front unfortunately
@@Striker50_I was using an extended screwdriver but I think the Phillips end wasn’t fitting to the screw. I’ll try again next time but it’s just hard to see. I might try from the back and reach for the bulb. I saw a screw and a plastic cap…are those the two I remove to access from the back?
It could be tricky because you have to select "show more" on the link, but here they are amzn.to/3I0T7Kt I've had them a while now and love them. I paid more than some others on Amazon, but other brands look cheap and aren't bright. These stand out and are good quality 👌
Good point Dennis there are a few things like the yellow light being easier on your eyes especially when you're driving longer distances at night. The white light is also more likely to bounce off of water particles and snow and fog. I'm actually going to be making a video on why yellow fog lights can be beneficial. I'll make the video in a week or two I'm currently studying for one of my licenses so I'm prioritizing that but I'll be sure to have it on my channel soon and answer some of those questions you might have so you can see the benefits.
@@Striker50_ I appreciate you for the response. Funny enough after seeing your video and hour later on the road I saw someone with yellow fog lights so you might be on to something! I'ma do some more research on yellow fog lights good luck on your license and I look forward to seeing your upcoming s videos!
Have you had any issues with drivers flashing lights at you due to brightness or glare? These look good, just don't want to be blinding oncoming traffic and it is hard to tell from video if these have that much glare.
No they're great; fog lights aren't meant to shoot light up If they do, it's usually because it's a truck that is higher than average cars, or you have REALLY bright bulbs in the fog housing. Example, people putting 55Watt HID kits Keep in mind yellow fogs are also tinted or a softer color, so they're usually not as bright as white bulbs at the same lumen 👍
@@Flow_boi Interesting. So I was only able to find the rectangular part, but none of them have that horseshoe guide clip attached to them. 2 options: you can clip the black rectangle trim over the fog light still and that should be way more than secure enough since there are about 6 clips on that rectangle piece. Option 2 is you go to the Honda dealership parts store and ask for that piece. If they don't know what you're talking about, you can show them the horseshoe by pausing on the video. I feel that will be a bit more expensive though
@@Striker50_ thank you for the info, I kinda wanted to stay away from going to Honda since they’ll probably charge me for breathing in their facility, I’ll try finding a way to maybe attach something to it so the bolt can clamp it down
Love people who say you dont need all parts, screws and bolts. Thkse dang enginners just love wasting crap just for the heck of it. Ever thought maybe lacking the other screw created more vibrations within the lamp and led to you needing to make this video a lot sooner than you should have?
Nope, light is stable, zero rattle. While screws and all original components are an OBVIOUS recommendation, everything functions just as good despite missing some. That will not be the case with everything, but in this matter it is completely ok. I made this video after years of driving like this which I mentioned in the video as well. To date, everything still functions perfectly as well
Nope it's easy. Loosen bottom Phillips screw, then insert flat head into slot like shown, angle it, and pull out. Straitforward process. You can also stick a butter knife around the edge of the trim to help with prying out, but that risks damaging the paint. Can be done in 10 seconds tops.

Are they your original bulbs? A pulled wire sounds very unlikely. Usually it's the bulb that goes bad

Love people who say you dont need all parts, screws and bolts. Thkse dang enginners just love wasting crap just for the heck of it. Ever thought maybe lacking the other screw created more vibrations within the lamp and led to you needing to make this video a lot sooner than you should have?
Nope, light is stable, zero rattle. While screws and all original components are an OBVIOUS recommendation, everything functions just as good despite missing some. That will not be the case with everything, but in this matter it is completely ok. I made this video after years of driving like this which I mentioned in the video as well.

Please be aware that it takes far more work to get the trim around the housing out. You will need trim tools. This video is highly edited.
Nope it's easy. Loosen bottom Phillips screw, then insert flat head into slot like shown, angle it, and pull out. Straitforward process.
You can also stick a butter knife around the edge of the trim to help with prying out, but that risks damaging the paint. Can be done in 10 seconds tops.
Perhaps salt rusted your screw from the bottom, and it was stuck at the fork connection point because of that
