Here’s how to replace the front headlight bulbs on a Honda Civic: open the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it with the prop rod. Locate the inspection caps on the back of the headlights and remove them.

At this point, you will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holders out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs with the help of a screwdriver.

Install the new bulbs (always of the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlight housing. Repeat the same process for all headlights.

Reassemble all previously removed parts.
