My passenger side headlight is out. My question is, do I need to replace the whole headlight or can I just replace the bulb. If I do need to replace the whole headlight, what is the difficulty of that? Is that something I can do myself or do I need to take it somewhere to be replaced?

You only have to replace a bulb. I would recommend you get a bulb through you Honda dealer, the install takes ten minutes at most. Try to avoid getting your fingerprints on the bulb surface.

You can get the bulbs from Walmart and they work just fine. I do recommend that you replace both sides of the car. Keep the one good one in the glove box as a spare. As the bulbs get older they do lose the ability to shine as brightly as they should. Replacing both will ensure that you don't have a strong side weak side look to the car. Also, they are engineered and manufactured the same. The other will go out in the near term.
