2008' Accord, Changing headlight bulbs.

What you're wishing for is not specifically sealed beams. You want
lens/reflector assemblies that can be easily removed towards the front so
the bulbs are easier to get at.

Hey, here's an idea I think is a wonderful one: Arrange the lamps such that
you'd undo a couple of clips and the lamp assembly would slide out towards
the front and off the car. Maybe mount the electrical connector such that
seating the lamp all the way home automatically reconnects it. Bulb
replacement then would be, as the British say, a doddle. This would be even
easier than the old sealed-beam mounting method, and would also allow
continued use of aerodynamic lamps.

 

I've just had a look at two old Owner's Manuals I have: The 1975 Toyota
Corolla (7" round sealed beams), and the 1981 Corolla (large rectangular
sealed beams).

The '75 manual describes -- both in text and pictures -- headlamp
replacement. The '81 manual mentions the headlamps not at all. Weird, huh?
