I just tried following the manual's car to replace the h4 bulb on my 2005 jazz (driver's side). They explain the process of going underneath where you remove a small part of the plastic cover. Well, good luck. You can't see shit. The bulb gets stuck in the spring wire, then to put the new one it's pain again, and I gave up when I needed to put the rubber cover. I'll try either removing the bumper or completely remove the plastic cover from the tire. I don't know what they're thinking when they design the car like this. It's a good car (original bulb lasted 15 years) but holy hell this process is a pain in the ass.
I managed the passenger side bulbs following the manual and even the park/position light on the drivers side but the driver side headlamp was impossible. Plus I absolutely scratched my hands to hell getting that done, and I've got small hands I can't imagine someone with regular or large hands even managing that.
Great easy to follow instructions. Just did the bulb change on a 2005 Jazz/Fit this is by far the easiest way to change the bulbs. Do your self a favour and spend the extra $10 to do both bulbs whilst you are there. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Brilliant way to change the bulbs, takes less than an hour to do this way. I also tried under the mudguard method, but it took way longer than taking the bumper and the headlight down. 10/10 would recommend!
i come from the days when changing a light bulb was a 2 min job. i was a mechanic for about 20 years .out of the game now but i still do bits on my own cars,friends and neighbours et.c. its a piss take how on what used to be a simple job now takes you more like 30 mins. i had a few now where i had to take the bumper off and also take the light out. anyway thanks for the video. i only come for a quick look. as somebody i know with this car was having trouble on how to fit the bulb, i already had a quick look and sort of guessed it was bumper and light out.
You saved me $60 which is what John Blair Honda was asking to do this. Thank you. Dinner for two. One comment : The very first bolt you touched in your video actually screws into a little metal clip which came loose and I lost while unscrewing. The clip on bumper stays in place without it so It's ok.
Nice job demo on this video. You did an exceptional job detailing the removal of the plastic retention fasteners. Those can be a real pain when one does not have good visibility prior to removal. Same goes for the removal of electrical
so this is way easier than the through the liner. Big fingers and hands. 30 minutes from taking tools out to car away and hands washed. With second watch of the bumper loosening. And 3 year old as main helper. Thanks very much for this!!
Many thanks for the video. Last time I changed the bulb I went in from the wheel arch. It took several hours and much pain, especially since headlamp bulbs only seem to break when it is wintery cold, and I don't have a place to work undercover. Taking the bumper off seems like a lot of hassle, but it was only 40 mins to change bulbs on both sides, you can stand up, and see what you are doing and everything worked just like on the video. Definitely my preferred method.
I changed it withou any need to screw anything. My hands are small and I could do it by reaching from the motor section.. a little tricky bcs I had to do it by touching but it worked! You gave me the motivation to try it myself! Thank you!
Regardless if there is an easier method, thank you so much. My daughters Honda Jazz needed her headlight done and this instructional video clip made it so I could do it myself. Thank you so very much! :)
