Car Forum / Honda Cars / March 2006Headlight replacement question - 95 Prelude
This is, no doubt, a very simple thing, but rather than take a chance on breaking something, I'm gonna ask somebody. In my defense, I only recently bought the car & it's my first Honda. All I want to do is change the headlight in a '95 Prelude. I've unplugged the wire &, clearly from the design, either the light itself twists to come out or the plastic retaining ring twists to release it. I tried both with moderate force; but (obviously) without success. Here's my question. Which part twists? Is there a release mechanism I need to press?

The bulb I want to remove is the OEM part. According to the handy-dandy computerized bulb selector at the auto parts store, the replacement bulb is a 9006 (low beams).

Did your new bulb not come with a little pamphlet showing how to remove the bulb? From my searches, it looks like the 9006 bulb turns counter-clockwise a bit (push in as you turn). http://apps.volvocars.us/ownersdocs/1995/1995_960/95960_6_5.html SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ Yes, it did not. J Ah, the old "push in" trick. The counterclockwise part was apparent because of a tab stop preventing clockwise rotation; but I just couldn't move the thing with prudent brute force. Nice website BTW. Thanks. JF > Ah, the old "push in" trick.
