The head light on the passenger side of my 1992 Honda Accord LX burned out....I bought a replacement, attempted to change it and that is where the fun starts.
How on earth do I get to the lamp to remove the old one? The battery is in the way, so you can't get your hand between it and the back of the lamp!
There has to be a way for me to do this.....it's just a removal of one bulb to switch it with another for crying out loud...
I don't want to take it to a shop just to change the lamp....what's a girl to do?
Anyone have any tips for me?

I called Honda they said you dont have to take the Batt out you should be able to manuever it out they said stop by pull right in they can fix it for me at no charge real quick so maybe your area dealer could do the same.

My car's the same way. You do have to remove the battery to put in the new bulb. Isn't that a pain? They sure don't try to make things easy on us do they? As for what a girl's to do....this girl got a guy friend to change it. You can also go to an auto parts place and they will put it in for you. If you bought the replacement at Autozone or someplace like that I would take it back there (with the receipt) and ask them if they will install it for you. They probably will, especially if you can prove you bought it there. If not, then ask a guy you know for help. GOOD LUCK!

If the light is one of the newer kind, you should be able to twist out the bulb portion from the back of the lamp, and replace it. Look for the wire that is attached to the lamp and then disconnect it, and then twist out the bulb. Go to the auto parts store and have them give you the correct one to change it out.
If you have an Autozone or like type auto store, ask the guys in the counter to help you figure out what to do. They are helpful, and some may even change it out for you!

You may have to remove the head lamp assmbly from the front of the car, this is ussually just a few screws, or pop outs in the front

you have to remove the battery,it's not that hard,the suggestion about the guys at autozone is a good idea,wear a short skirt...you think it's difficult to change your healights try an old datsun z-car...you have to take off the front wheels!
