In this video, we show you how to replace the headlight assembly as well as service the bulbs on this 1998 Honda Civic. We show you on the passenger's side, but it's the same process on the driver's side. The items you'll need for this include a new headlight assembly from 1AAuto.com, a flat blade screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, and 10mm socket and ratchet.
There are seven clips on the lining on top of your bumper. Use a flat blade screwdriver, pry up the center of these clips, and then pry up the bottom. We'll just fast-forward as Don does this to the other six clips. In the wheel well behind the headlight, you'll see this Phillips screw right here. Go ahead and remove that. This may be a 10mm bolt on some vehicles. Once that's removed, you can pull your bumper cover forward.
Right here, there is a 10mm bolt; remove that. Down inside, behind the headlight, there is a 10mm bolt; just pull back on the bumper and remove that bolt. Then remove the last two bolts, and these two 10mm bolts along the top of the headlight. Once all the bolts are removed, pull your bumper down and you pull your headlight out and over the bumper.
On the back of the headlight there are two harnesses. Just push on the tabs and disconnect them. You just look in to service your bulbs for the turn signal. You just twist the socket counterclockwise, pull it out, and pull the bulb out. Push the new one in. Push the socket into place and twist it clockwise to lock. Remove that dust cover for the headlight. Push that retaining clip up and over, and the bulb pulls out. Put your new headlight bulb in the retaining clip and back over and clip it. Then put your dust cover back on with the tab staying top.
On the left is the old headlight; on the right is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see the one from 1A Auto looks much better, clearer, brighter, and it will mount exactly the same. You just want to take your sockets and put them over into your new headlight. We're just going to fast-forward through this. Reconnect your harnesses. Now, slide the headlight over the bumper cover. Hold the bumper cover out and get a headlight in. We noticed, after we took out the original headlight, that our car had been damaged in the front end, so he struggles with it a little bit to get it past some of the parts that are bent in there. You'll probably have an easier time with this.
Replace those two 10mm bolts at the top of the headlight. We'll just fast-forward as Don replaces the other two 10mm bolts and tightens all of them up. Then, you want to repeat this for the other side. Now you can push your bumper back into place. Replace those seven clips along the top of the bumper. You just push them down with the center still up, and push the center down to lock them. Then, just replace that Phillips screw and then you're all set.
