How do I replace a low-beam headlight for a 2002 Honda Accord V6? The passenger side is easy to get to, but the drivers side has a jug right in front of the bulb.

Like I said, I can get to the 'passenger' side low-beam easily. But with the 'drivers' side, there seems to be a "jug" which doesn't allow me to get to the bulb. I believe this is the radiator reserve jug, I just don't know how to remove it, and I don't want to mess anything up. Please give me a pretty detailed course-of-action if you could. One headlight shouldn't be this difficult to replace. Thank You.

Hi Mike. There are a number of How to videos on YouTube that deal with your problem. You should be able to find a clip that will show you how to do it. Type "Remove 2002 Honda accord headlight bulb", in the search bar. Different wordings in your search will take you to specific videos, such as: ...remove radiator, ...remove reservoir, ...remove headlight assembly, etc. If you spend a little time doing this, I'm confident you'll find a video of a guy doing exactly what you need done. As for the reservoir jug, some of them just pull straight up without any bolts, while others have a couple 10 mm bolts. You may even be able to do this without taking out the reservoir.
Good luck

SOURCE: 2000 honda civic vp keeps blowing low beam fuses left and right.

Fuses nearly always blow because of a bad earth. The switch only needs to short for a moment and the fuse will blow.

See if you can find a replcement swtich from a local breaker's yard or ebay and go on from there.

2006 honda accord passenger side, low beam out, replaced bulb, check all fuses, all other headlights fine

There are two fuses that must both be good for the passenger low beam to work. Fuse 4 and fuse 6. If they're good, you should see battery voltage on the red/green wire in the bulb socket.

Is the low beam headlight bulb difficult to replace from under the hood on a2005 honda accord

I just replaced both low beam headlight bulbs on my 2005 Honda Accord. After reading the owner's manual and trying to remove the wheel well inserts (and breaking a couple of those clips in the process), I gave up on that approach and was able to change the passenger side and driver side low beam bulbs from the engine compartment under the hood. On the passenger side, fit your arm between the front of the car and the hose that is above the headlight. You should be able to reach the bulb, disconnect the electrical connection, turn the bulb 45 degrees counterclockwise to remove it, insert the new bulb turning it 45 degrees clockwise to secure it in the hole (be careful not to touch the bulb), and reconnect the electrical connection. I loosened the 3 screws that secure the bulb to make it easier to put in the new one, but that probably isn't necessary. My hand was scraped a bit doing this, but it was not too bad. On the driver side, remove the battery hold-down clamp (there is no need to disconnect the battery connections). Reach into the fender (shine a light there so you can see the bulb connection) and you should be able to reach the bulb and replace it similarly to the other bulb. You may have to move the battery slightly to get your arm in there. Replace the battery hold down clamp when you're done. I accidentally dropped the old bulb in the wheel well, but other than that it went pretty smoothly. Good luck.

One high beam works one doesn't, gauge cluster does not light up

you say you replaced both bulbs, you mean right and left or both the high beam and the low beam on left side?could be a bad ground for the left headlight. there should be some ground wires there near the headlight, LF corner under hood. without a wiring diagram here at home,I am not much help.
