To replace the headlamp, turn signal, or parking lamp bulb:This information should be in your owner's manual.
Turn the wheel to access the wheel well.

  1. Remove the fasteners located on the wheel liner. To access the headlamp and the turn signal/parking lamp bulbs.
  2. Reach in behind the wheel well liner and locate the bulb to be changed.
  3. Turn the bulb socket counterclockwise and pull it straight out of the lamp assembly.
  4. Pull the old bulb straight out of the bulb socket.
  5. Push the new bulb straight into the bulb socket until it clicks.
  6. Push the bulb socket straight into the lamp assembly and turn it clockwise to lock it into place.
  7. Reinstall the wheel well liner using fasteners.

Testimonial: "Thank you. Very helpful. I didn't have an owner's manual when I bought the car."

Only one head light works at a time, diferent light in all positions

Most likely the high beam filament is burnt out on your left light, and the low beam filament is burnt out on your right light. My first recommendation would be to purchase a couple of headlamp bulbs, install them and see how they work, then post back if you are still having an issue

I have a 2006 civic SI. DRL indicator is on, driver side low and high beam ok. Passenger side low beam ok but DRL and hi beam not working. Any help is appreciated.

When either the high or low beam light is out in either side, DRL (daytime running lights) indicator will come on. When one bulb goes out, that's a clue the opposite bulb will burn out soon, so its best to replace both bulbs. If it was a fuse issue, both left and right side would be out. If driver side is OK but passenger side is not, then its a bulb issue. A 2006 Honda civic takes 9006 (HB4) low beam bulbs and 9005 (HB3) high beam bulbs. Cheapest is online from Walmart site-2-store. After procuring, wear latex, vinyl, or ANY gloves to keep your (corrosive) oil skin from coming in contact with headlight glass bulbs. Your skin oil will chemically react and cause shorter life span on glass bulbs. Instruction don't tell you this, so you handle with your hands, then need to replace bulbs 3 years later instead of 5 years (or more) in the future. With gloves on, pop the hood and look behind each headlight. Turn counter clockwise to unlock headlight bulb holders. Its a quarter to half turn to unlock bulb holder lock. Replace one bulb at a time so you don't confuse high beam from low beam. The wire has a tab you need to lift to pull out & disconnect wire connector. You might need a slim narrow-**** (NOT phillips) screwdriver to lift the tab; or use your house key. Snap the wire connector to the new bulb, then twist into headlight housing to secure bulb holders, then move on to the next bulb to repeat the procedure. Pict below, 9005 high beam is on the left, 9006 low beam is on the right. Handle by grasping the plastic base, not the glass bulbs. The raised potrusion on the bottom center is where the tab locks onto wire connector. Replace all 4 bulbs now, but in the future, its likely the low beam will wear out before the high beam. In the future, replace only the pair, not all 4. The factory installs inferior bulbs that go out sooner, hoping you'll take to dealership and they ******** you with higher parts-n-labor fees. As opposed to Walmart online site-2-store, it would cost you AT LEAST triple in parts & labor from dealership to replace all 4 headlight bulbs :-(

97 suzuki alto main beam on head lights not working but high beam fine

If there is only one headlight bulb you have to replace the whole bulb. Some cars have a separate high and low beam, some are together. Low beams usually burn out first since they get used more often and unfortunately have to be replaced even if the high beam still works. Hope that is helpful!

2003 hyundai elantra low beams not working but the high beams and parking lights are, why, help

its kind of uncommon but I have seen both Low Beams burn out at the same time,but first check to see if your vehicle has a separate relay for the high beams and one for the low beams if so replace the low beam one if that is not replace both head lights,and it that is not it the only thing left is the head light switch itself.Hope this helps good luck

My 87 k5 blazer headlights don't turn on when the car is started and running any more... all 4 headlights turn on fine when I pull the lever all the way out for high beams

The vehicle should not have to be running for head lights to burn.If high beams work,then the low beam head lights could be burned out,even though they light up with high beams.The dimmer switch,can be the problem if the head lights only work on high beam.
