Fortunately, you can change the headlight in a 2003 Honda Civic rather easily. Here’s what to do:
  • Purchase a bulb from a local auto parts store. Ask the clerk if you aren’t sure which bulb you need.
  • After you get the bulb, open the hood of your car.
  • On each side of the engine compartment, locate the headlight housing.
  • Grab the housing of the bulb and turn it counterclockwise to extricate the bulb.
  • Pop the old bulb out.
  • Pop the new bulb in.
  • Insert the wiring harness and bulb into the housing compartment and turn it clockwise to lock it into place.
