Replacing the headlamps in a 2001-2005 Honda Civic. It is strongly suggested that you disconnect the negative terminal to avoid possible injury. Removing the battery from the mount may make the passenger lamp more accessible. Pulling the plastic reservoir (behind the driver side light) out of its mount will make removal of the driver side lamp very easy. On the reverse side of each headlight, there is a harness that attaches to the connecting pins for the headlamp. The connector for the harness is a cube of plastic that’s resting atop a rubber weather boot. This is very easy to pull straight off. The rubber weather boot that the harness rested upon also comes off; use gentle force to remove the boot by the two tabs on opposing sides of the boot. The inside ring of the boot surrounds the outermost portion of the back end of the lamp. After completely removing the weather boot, there is a wire clip that fastens the headlamp into the lighting assembly, the clip has to be pushed back and slightly off to the side, out from under two hooks that hold it in place. Once the clip is unfastened, the lamp can easily be removed. Be very careful not to touch the glass portion of the new headlamp(s), as the oil from your hand will cause the lamp to burst when the bulb gets hot. The two metal protrusions on the inside of the round bracket around the lamp should be oriented downward. Reseat the clip that fastens the bulb to the assembly. Reseat the weather boot. Reseat the wiring harness. Replace the battery and reservoir, and reconnect the negative battery terminal. -Mike Watson in Albany, GA
