Hey guys.... just wondering if any of you experience any trouble trying to remove or change your EP3 frontliight bulb..

I got my car a couple weeks ago and now one of my lights died.. I notice mines different from others...

I took a photo of it.. below:


And this diy doesnt seem to work for me o.O

I cant remove the cover its so weird, and even if i remove the bumper, i had trouble trying to get the light out.. one of the bolt is hidding deep inside and my ratchet couldnt even reach it

BTW... mines came with xenons i think? i bought it like this..

just wondering if mines different from the other ep3s here in aus....

otherwise im thinking to change the 2 headlights so I can have easy access to the bulbs in the future... What do you guys think? if so, where might i'll be able to find them in Sydney?

please help! i really want to get my lights fixed soon

thanks!

Most EP3's in Australia have factory xenons - just like the photo in your first post.

The pictures in the link you posted, are for headlights which have halogen globes - e.g. the Australian EU Civic.

Sorry dude, I've never needed to change my globes out on the EP3.. perhaps someone else can shed some light.

Just like to add - the factory hid setup is pretty shite. Its a hid bulb setup from a euro or other projector setup in the open reflector housing of a base civic. Little viewing angle and lots of wasted light.
Im thinking of retro fitting halogen bulbs.....

I bought a set of rachet with extension the other day to take my headlights off. Just need the right tool for the job. I think you have to remove the front bumper to change headlight bulbs. EP3 uses D2S light bulbs for the HID, not 100% sure though.

01-03 EP3 uses D2R bulbs. The "R" bulbs are designed for use with HID reflector housings. There's a little black/grey square that covers the bottom half of the globe.
