    Can someone please provide instructions on replacing the headlight
    bulb for the 2003 Accord? On the driver's side, the battery appears
    to be in the way. Do I need to remove this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Common sense. If there's anything in the way that cannot be moved aside
    without removing it, then you'll have to remove it. Other than that, simply
    twist the bulb anti-clockwise, and once you hear it stop moving, try to pull
    it out. Then pull on the bulb--it will disconnect--so then replace with new
    one and place it back in. Very simple.

    Also, your owner's manual should say how it's done.

  4. I just loosened the bracket to slightly toss the battery and I was able to
    get enough space to fit my hand to reach the light bulb.

    Also, do not touch the new bulb directly. Your skin oil will cause the
    glass to melt when it is very hot. use a tissue or paper sleeve if your
    new bulb has one.

  6. Glass?... don't think so. It's quartz and it'll break.
