Review on πŸš— AUTOSAVER88 Switchback LED Tube Headlights Assembly for 03-07 Accord - DRL Daytime Running Light, Smoke Lens by Danny Robertson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great fit/finish, great OEM fit, very clear lenses. Installation tips below:

Pretty happy! We still had some work to do on the car so it was a good time to swap out both headlight assemblies with the bumper off. The fit and finish was perfect! They come in a perfect foam fitting box to keep them safe. The lens has been coated with a thin, sticky plastic to prevent scuffs/scratches. I left it on until I finished the installation, the lenses were in perfect condition. Tips: 1) The turn signal bulbs are in a small socket that you need to transfer to this new headlight assembly. In our case, we repaired damage to the passenger side of the car ourselves (see new fender) and I had to salvage the turn signal bulb socket from a rubbish heap. If yours is damaged, pick it up from Amazon, it's a lot cheaper than the dealer. 2) If you have a Honda Accord 04-07 removing the front bumper gives you perfect access to remove/install the headlight assembly. The battery and airbox do not need to be removed. The front bumper/grille/headlight brackets consist of 10mm screws and small plastic clips. Really easy to remove. Insert some cardboard to protect the bumper from scratches when you take it off. Once the bumper cover is removed the headlights are held in place with 4-5 10mm screws and the entire assembly on the bracket slides forward allowing you to easily remove the bracket, headlight bulbs and wire harness terminals. Carefully route the wiring harness back to avoid pinching it when reinstalling. Check all headlights before reinstalling the bumper. 3) Since we disassembled everything and we needed to repair the damage, we replaced all the low and high beam bulbs and turn signals. Do yourself a favor and order from Amazon. Had to buy locally and spent about $20 more than I could have had. 4) Purchase a pack of new small clips from Amazon to reattach the bumper/plastic covers. Some clips break when removing the bumper, and a pack of 30 clips costs about $5. Worth keeping in the garage/truck as the whole car uses these small clips for all underbody/bumper plastic.
