2 Answers
Locate a cover behind the headlight, twist it open, and you will see the bulb. Use your fingers to unscrew the bulb from its fixed clip to remove it. More details about the Fit are as follows: 1. The Honda Fit is one of the global strategic models following the Accord and Civic. While maintaining consistent high quality and reliability, it is designed to meet the highest global standards in design, space, safety, handling, fuel efficiency, and practicality, reaffirming its comprehensive leading position in this segment. 2. On August 11, 2016, the 2016 Fit Cool Play edition was launched, adding two sunroof versions. On January 11, 2018, the GAC Honda New Fit Sport series was released, retaining its core product values—featuring the 'Exciting-H-Design' overall design concept, the 'Earth Dreams Technology' engine (1.5L direct-injection DOHC-i-VTEC engine and new CVT continuously variable transmission), and the Idle-stop engine energy-saving automatic start-stop system, among ten other innovative technologies.
To remove the Fit's headlights, as a car enthusiast who loves tinkering, I have to tell you the steps are pretty straightforward. First, turn off the car and park it on level ground, then open the hood and make sure the engine is cool to avoid burns. Grab your tools—a Phillips screwdriver is all you need. The headlight mounting screws are usually located at the front under the hood; unscrew them and don’t misplace them. Once the headlight assembly is loose, gently pull it out but be careful with the wiring connector. There’s a small clip—press it and slowly disconnect to avoid damage. The first time I did this, I was in a hurry and yanked the connector, which cost me money to fix, so patience is key. If you’re cleaning the lens or replacing bulbs, use a soft cloth to wipe the inside after removal for brighter light. The whole process takes about 10 minutes, and remembering the screw positions ensures no mistakes during reassembly. The tools are simple, so even beginners can try. Safety tip: Wear gloves to prevent scratches and avoid working with wet hands.
