I have a 1993 Honda Accord, and I cannot twist the socket around the headlight bulb to get the bulb out. It seems to be sealed on. So I was just going to remove the whole headlight, and go from there. Is there an easy way to do this?How do you remove a headlight on a 93 honda accord?there is an outer retaining ring on that headlight bulb that needs to be turned. you don't turn the bulb! you need to disconnect the connector from the bulb then look at the back of the headlight. you'll see a plastic ring that has four depressions that goes around the bulb. you need to turn that ring counter-clockwise to remove it. it only has to be turned about 1/8 turn to release the ring. you may be able to get two hands in to turn the ring. on some you have to pull out the 'snorkel' tube from in front of the battery to get access to the bulb on the passenger side.
if you can't move the ring (it will be tight!) try to use a hair dryer to heat up the ring. you don't want to melt it but it may expand if you heat it with a blow dryer. I don't think you want to use penetrating oil as you'll never be able to grip the ring after you soak it.. Perhaps tapping on the ring with a screwdriver and hammer may loosen it if all else fails.
do not turn the bulb! if you are able to you'll destroy the headlamp housing or your hand whichever gives way first.
to remove the headlight assembly you have to take the front bumper off. its to your benefit to do it in the car.
