FAQ

Can this guide be applied to 2009, 2010, or 2011 Honda Accords?

Yes. This guide applies to all years from 2008 through 2012 (8th Generation) Honda Accords.

Can this guide be applied to a 2008-2012 Honda Accord Coupe or Crosstour?

Yes. This guide applies to all Honda Accord sub-models (Sedan, Coupe, and Crosstour) and trims (LX, LX-P, EX, EX-L, LX-S)

What type of bulbs do you recommend for my 2008-2012 Honda Accord?

If you do a lot of nighttime driving or have difficulty seeing at night, we recommend upgrading your high beams from halogen to LED or HID bulbs. They will produce more light and last longer than replacement bulbs. For smaller interior bulbs, we recommend LEDs.

Can I change the bulbs on my 2008-2012 Honda Accord myself?

Yes, so long as they are halogens. Changing halogen bulbs is quite easy for the most part. We strongly advise finding How-To videos online for the specific bulb(s) you wish to change and consult the Owner's Manual for additional help.

If your vehicle has factory LEDs, you will need to visit your dealership to have them changed.

I purchased aftermarket assemblies for my Honda Accord, can I use this guide?

No. Aftermarket assemblies typically use different bulb sizes. Consult with the assembly manufacturer for the right bulb size(s).

What tools do I need to change the headlight bulbs on my 2008-2012 Accord?

You will need a 10mm wrench or drill, plastic clip removal tool, flat blade screwdriver, and Phillips head screwdriver. We also recommend wearing gloves to prevent getting fingerprints on the bulbs.
