I can't get to the high beam bulbs on our 2005 Odyssey. How do I remove the headlight for easier access to the bulbs?

Unfortunately, the answer I have is not a happy one =(. My wife has a 2005. In order to replace the bulb you will have to pull the Crutons (plastic push pins) that hold the front bumber cover on, remove the Headlight housing & replace the bulb that way. Shame on Chrysler for making it so difficult, in my opinion. But I hope this helps you to change the bulb =)

NO YOU HAVE TO REPLACE HIGH BEAM LIGHT BULBS WITH HIGH BEAM LIGHT BULBS BECAUSE HIGH BEAM LIGHT BULBS AND LOW BEAM LIGHT BULBS TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF BULBS.WEAR CLEAN LATEX GLOVES HANDLING THE HEADLIGHT BULBS WHICH IS HALOGEN LIGHT BULBS, OIL FROM FINGERS OR HAND WILL CAUSE HALOGEN BULBS TO OVER HEAT BLOW OUT.

1. Remove the three pin-type retainers, two screws and the radiator defector.
2. Remove the 4 bolts securing the headlamp assembly and remove headlamp assembly.
- Disconnect electrical connector
3. Remove the 3 hex-head bolts and 2 torx-head screws and remove headlamp protective cover.
4. *****Standard low-beam bulb*****
Disconnect the connector from the bulb and remove the low beam bulb.
5. *****HID low beam bulb*****
Release the spring tabs and remove the HID low beam bulb
Disconnect the connector from the bulb
6. *****High beam bulb*****
Disconnect the electrical connector and remove the high beam bulb.
Reverse order to install

The whole bulb will have to be replaced. One bulb has high/low beam. You should be able to access it from behind the light assembly. You should have a locking device at the headlight assembly and be able to pull the assembly out to make it easier.

How to Replace a Headlight Bulb
(DIY Complexity: Easy / Time: 0.9 hour)

Parts:
1. Headlight Bulb

Tools:
1. Screwdriver

HIGH PERFORMANCE HALOGEN HEADLIGHT BULB -- Low 45/high 65 watts, Dual C-8 filament for both high beam and low beam; 100 percent legal halogen headlight bulbs; Features the whitest and brightest light color similar to daylight for safer night driving; Meets all US FMVSS 108 and Canadian CMVSS 108 requirements.

Steps:
Step 1 Open the hood and locate the headlight assembly.
o Tip: Most headlight assemblies have a place in the rear to gain access to the headlight bulb.
o Tip: It is recommended that headlight bulbs are replaced in pairs.
o Tip: Always make sure the struts on the hood can fully support the weight of the hood so that it does not close on you while working. The use of a hood prop can securely hold it in place.
o Tip: Safety Tip:Always wear safety glasses when working on your vehicle. Wear other personal protective equipment (PPE) when necessary, for example latex gloves or safety shoes.

Step 2 Gain access to headlight bulb.
o Tip: It is a good idea to check the high beam and low beam headlight bulbs at this time.

Step 3 Disconnect the wiring harness and replace the old headlight bulb with a new one.



Remove the retaining ring from the base of the bulb, then...




...turn the bulb and remove it from the headlight assembly.

Step 4 Turn on the headlights and check high and low beams to verify repairs.

Honda Headlight Bulb(H1) - This bulb is the high and low beam bulb for your vehicle. One bulb required for each headlight.

This headlight bulb fits:

• CR-V 2005-2006 (requires 2 bulbs per side)

check the wire connection for your lowbeams

This picture shows the rear side of the headlamp assembly. I've circled the access caps to the high & low beam bulbs (they just twist off (counter-clockwise) to access the bulbs. Depending on which engine is in your Tiburon, access is easier if you remove three 10mm mounting bolts to the headlamp assemblies and remove the entire headlamp assemblies (see illustration)
You'll want to disconnect these two connectors .. then remember to reconnect them when you put the assemblies back on.

Hope this helps

Simple job. The low beams are 9006 bulbs and the high beams are 9005. The only one you may have trouble replacing is the passenger side high beam which requires moving the power steering fluid reservoir out of the way to access. Each bulb has its own connector. They just slide off but you need to ensure you press the release catch on the connector before doing so. Look at the replacement bulb and you will notice a small tab or bump on the one flat side of the bulb base right near where the bulb plugs into the connector. This tab holds the connector on because part of the connector rides over the tab and holds onto it. Reach in and press the release catch near the wired end of the connector then slide the connector off. Rotate each bulb about 1/4 turn counter clockwise to remove from the lamp assembly. New ones just install in the reverse order.

You need to remove the back cover of the headlight inside the engine bay. There you will see both low and high beam bulbs. The low beam is the one that is to the outside crner of the vehicle, give it half a turn ad pull it right out. You do not need to remove the whole light assembly. The driver side bulb will be a little bit difficult due to space but it can be done.
