Just a quick video showing how I replaced the Headlight Assembly on my 2007 Honda Accord with aftermarket replacements from Autosaver88. The retainer bracket didn’t line up perfectly, but you will see in the video that you can make it work. Removing the bumper cover completely was not necessary. Removing the top piece and lowering the bumper cover for access was much easier than I thought it would be.
I would recommend getting some replacement plastic clips ahead of time.
I didn’t need to adjust or aim the headlights after installing them.
Tools needed:
Philips Screwdriver
Flathead Screwdriver
Clip removal tool (if you have one)
10mm socket and/or socket wrench
Vice grips to hold the bracket in place to mount the lower outside bolt through the metal bracket.
Thanks for watching!

Great job,,, I love that you improvised with the vice grips
Remove plastic cover for grill (flat head + Phillips + maybe some needle nose pliers)
Remove bumper (stubby) (pull middle part of grill with bumper)
10mm holding headlight, and 10mm holding metal bracket
Transfer metal bracket to new headlight (10mm)
Install bulbs
Reverse the steps to install
Thank you for doing this video. I had absolutely no idea how to get this done until you showed how to do it . Thank you.
Thank you for this video. Worked perfectly for me. And best of all no extra parts left over! lol
What did you use or how did you clean the lenses? You mentioned at the beginning of the video that's what you have done before.
Thanks this was very helpful
I am a seasoned mechanic but I still watch videos before I do something so I have an idea what I am getting into. Each car is different. Some videos I turn off after a minute shaking my head. You did a great job on this video! China parts. You have to wonder if they ever actually try them on the vehicle. You always have to manipulate them to fit.
Great video crazy you have to remove the bumpers to remove the headlight assembly on cars Mazda Honda and I'm sure others I'm getting old lol sorry
Fantastic job, and the prices are reasonable.
The 5th bolt in the video has another bolt to the side of it. Loosen the bolt (do to remove) and you’ll be able to get the 5th bolt back in easy without issues. Great video.
Just a heads up for those that plan to use the linked headlights assembly: as the 1 star reviews on this particular product suggest, after less than a year my headlights began to discolor and crackle and by two years they looked awful and and severely reduced light from the bulbs. I put this exact pair on my accord and have to replace them again due to how quickly they deteriorated. I'm literally on this video to remind myself how to swap them because I will be taking out this pair and putting in a different brand that seems to be a better quality (albeit more expensive).
Free headlights are awesome.
You mean to tell me I've been riding around with nasty, hazy headlamp assemblies because I didn't want to pay the big money to a body shop when I could have done it myself in about an hour?
Thank you so much for this great video! Very well done!
This is a very well done video. Concise and to the point. Thank you!
Finally! For once it's great to watch a well taken video, good footage covering all aspects of the job without going into sidelines off-topic raving that I've seen on so many other DIY vids. Dan just gets on with the job here, speeds it up where needed, doesn't drag it out and doesn't get all egotistical. He is easy to watch and listen to. Well done Dan !
Thanks for the video, worked like a charm
Hi Dan! About how long did it take you to complete the job?
