The metal casing of a light bulb serves as a protective barrier, preventing the bulb from breaking easily and protecting the delicate inner components from damage.

How do you change headlight on a 2003 Odyssey?
In the engine compartment, there is a wire that connects to your headlight. Unplug this. Then there is a black, rubber, circular piece that you simply pull off. Just pry it off. Then you should be able to see the bulb. From here, you can either pull the bulb out, OR you might first have to unhook a small wire piece that holds the bulb in place. If in unhooking, you resort to unscrewing the hinge screw, make sure not to lose the wire or the screw. Then you can pull the bulb out and replace it with the new bulb. Then screw the wire piece back in place if you can figure it out. I lost the screw. Once you have the bulb in place and the wire piece screwed over it, put the round black, rubber piece back in place and simply plug the wire back into the bulb and you are good to go.
