    Yep, awesome simple, disconnecting wiring harness before removing bulb is clutch, difficult to twist bulb out when still connected to plug. Also great tip on getting replacement connectors from HW store. This video shows some of the important details that are difficult to see in others. Also,there is a difference between passenger and driver side replacement. Thanks

    Bloeoyster5, thank you so much!! Took me about 15 minutes to do, once you showed me how to get to the bulb! disconnecting the wiring harness before removing bulb is paramount, makes it a much easier job. To think, a mechanic would charge almost $300 for this simple job!

    On my Civic EX in cold weather the plastic in the wheel well was really stiff and had to bend it hard. For me it was easier to disconnect plug from old bulb by removing the bulb while still plugged in, reaching in from on top via the hood with my left hand (push the plug end up towards where the left hand can barely reach) and holding the bulb in my right hand from the wheel well. For plugging in the new bulb I did as in the video, screw in then plug in all from wheel well. Thanks for the video!

    I got 210k km, which is 130 000 miles on my 2008 civic. It still goes easily trough yearly inspection with no problems, literally without any engine problems, just changing the 0-30W oil yearly. It probably runs 300 000 miles without worries at least. 84 000 miles is nothing, that car would sell for 5000$ in my country still.

    Hello. If you have a fast blinking turn bulb, the relay is going bad. If the bulb is lit, it’s not burnt out or going to burn out. I would search “Honda civic blinker relay” and see what comes up. No need to disconnect the negative battery in either case. Best of luck!

It was probably the worst month of my life, and I had a hard time overcoming the theft(aggravated) and driving it again(ok, it took me a year). But we're cruisin along now🙂
