Solid video, about to do our 2014 Touring. I've watched two, and i like how you put the bulb in first, then attached the wiring harness. Some comments on another video stated that they couldn't turn the bulb and harness together to remove it initially because the harness wiring is so short that there was not enough slack to turn counter-clockwise. I'll give er a go tomorrow.
Fantastic, simple, right to the point. Didn't go and take off the front bumper cover like some do. The advice to put bulb into twist position first and lock in place "before" attaching connector wire is brilliant. When the connector is attached while installing bulb back in hole, there is a great tendency to miss lining up the face of the bulb edge evenly with the hole because we don't want to pull too much on the wires....normally good advice but really messes with the brain's sense of where things go when you generally are not able to see cleanly around the crowded space getting it all back together. Nice job and thanks for sharing. Now I'll go do mine.
I accidentally removed the highbeam light first on the passenger side, and the holding clip is different from the model number 11 replacements for the low-beams. W my man-hands I had zero shot of removing them from their seat w o first removing the wiring harness. Once I did that, it was easy, like 1, 2, 3. Both low-beams replaced. Thanks for the video. We have updated headlights.
I know one thing you need little hands to do this. I am 6'9" trying to replace the bulbs in my daughter's 2013 Touring and it was a beast getting my hands in there. I thought I was going to have to remove the headlights or cut off some fingers (LOL). Eventually got it done. Had to have my wife come out with her small hands and press the clip that disengages the housing on the drivers side it was so snug!
@@melvinfisher643 figured it out from some other vids. un plug first then twist. came out easy as hell after i unplugged the wire thing first then twisted.
@@Rocketman9mmthank you. I swear i would have broken something, shit wouldnt turn. Came across your comment and it was easy! Not sure if honda changed turn mechanism between model years.
Man I do hate when auto mechanics trivialize and act like everything is standardized. So that plastic piece on the front that has the two plastic pieces do not come off or go back on a simple as this video describes because if they did, I wouldn't have pretty much completely destroyed them taking them off and putting them back on. Any chance you know where I could replace those on a 2015 Pilot?
Some come off easier than others. I've broken plenty myself. The auto parts store will have replacements or if you have a Harbor Freight nearby you can get an assortment for pretty cheap.
Thanks for the insight. I just wanted to note to all you Honda Pilot Folks, this is low beam only. The tutorial was well done and explained.
This is just what I needed! Getting the air duct out of the way was a HUGE help. Thank you!
"bulb will come right off"
Buuwaaahahahaaaa😂

Thanks Rick! Glad this was helpful 👊
the fact that it’s this easy makes me love and appreciate japanese cars much more! thanks for the video
@@cdev5018 Awesome! Glad this video was helpful 🙂

Who else pulled the high beam bulb out thinking it was the headlight? So that was fun.
I just can't seem to twist it I can't get leverage enough. Help
Same here. I’m no contortionist
Had the same problem. Turns out the clip/wiring was preventing it from rotating. After unclipping it while attached it rotated super easy
@drewwolke2847 thank you sir. I appreciate this comment. Saved my fingers and sanity.
@@matchetmanhaha! Same
That helped so much!!!!!@@drewwolke2847
Thank you this video helped out a lot.
Thank you for the concise vid!
UNPLUG FIRST !!!! THEN TWIST OUT BULB !!! The plug keeps the bulb from turning if still plugged in. Ask me how i know.
Awesome
Simple
You da man!
@@phamily3157 Thanks! Glad this video was helpful 🙂
Thank you
You're welcome 👊
when you rotate do you need to push in first? mine is straight 90 degrees up and down and I can't rotate it for the life of me.
It might be the seal stuck to the housing. It should just twist then pull out.
Same. I’m twisting counter clockwise with everything I got and it won’t turn. Halp😅

I’m in the same boat. It won’t budge!
Thank you very much!!!
You're welcome 👍
I had to use a larger flat screwdriver to push the connector down while holding the tab with my other hand.
That is the high beam bulb on driver side. Not the headlight. The headlight is much harder to get to on the driver side.
You need to removed the harness first; with the harness on, it is impossible to turn and remove the bulb from the headlight housing.
"just give it a little twist" biggest lie I've heard today.
You have to unplug it first. There’s a tab on the back you have to release before you can twist the bulb. Frustrating to follow
You must have tiny hands. And I thought mine were tiny....
Yeah man. I am 6'9' with big hands and that was no easy job.

All super easy and helpful for me, don't blame him for your car being weird.
Thanks 😊
