Replace Headlight Bulbs in Fit for GE
It seems like I saw a bunch of DYI's for Gd's.. but none for the 09+ GE's.
Is this easy to do?

Is there a HIGH and LOW beam on one bulb?

Please advise. Thanks!

Yes, the high beam and low beam are part of one bulb.

I think you are looking for thread with pictures of replacement, like this?

Exactly the same as my wife's 98 Civic. Same rubber seal, metal spring clip, etc... I still have the Sylvania Silverstars from that car that will fit right into this one. They were 9003ST... Glad I never threw them out. I think the Ridgeline uses them too but I never really bothered to check.

Easy to replace. The only tough part is when your fingers get cold and you try and pull off the rubber seal. it gets hard and stuck on there pretty good (which means a good seal) but... in the middle of winter with sub zero temps is not when you want to have your bare fingers out trying to peel off rubber seals...

Easier with small hands. Get a kid to do it for you. Make sure you don't touch the glass of the bulb that you put in.

The same bulb (H-4) as is used in most motorcycles. Just like my Harley-Davidson.
