Sylvania Silverstar Ultra Headlamps (9003/H4)
Cost: $28 (
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices)
Time: 20 minutes
Corrects: Typically poor OEM lighting without spending several $100 dollars on HID lighting
Procedure: This install is simple and does not require a lot of expertise.
- Lift Hood
- Starting with passenger side, pull the 9003/H4 wiring harness out of the bulb (it goes straight out, no twisting)
- pull off the rubber boot around the back of the housing. It helps if you don't have sasquatch sized hands. It will take a little effort to pull the boot (it also comes straight off)
- Undo the Honda metal clip. You will see on one side you can push it in. On that side you need to push it in and up (kind of like releasing a safety pin).
- Once released the bulb comes loose, so make sure you grab it. Note the orientation of the three little prongs.
- Your New bulb goes in the same way the other came out. (IMPORTANT: DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS OF THE BULB WITH YOUR FINGERS OR ANYTHING ELSE IF YOU CAN MANAGE)
- Repeat the drivers side. The only addition is that you need to take that reservoir off its hangar by sliding it up toward you.
Result: Sylvania isn't lying in their claims about the bulb being up to 50% brighter, 40% more down road vision, and 50% wider viewing angle.
