headlight wattage?

What is the standard headlight bulb wattage in our Honda's? I am looking to change the bulbs...also, what do you have to do to replace just the bulbs? Must you remove the entire front bumper? I am reading about other makes of cars and it seems like just a unscrew/remove/insert/screw type of deal. What steps do I take?

I'm fairly certain that reading the owners manual in your car will answer every question you just posted.

I don't mean the bulbs I want to put in, I mean the stock ones obviously - someone didn't pick up on that fact. That's fine that the manual will tell me how, but can someone explain it I've they've done it themselves?

omg just read the manual, but since you insist on someone telling you:

1. unplug the bulb
2. remove the weather seal
3. unclip the bulb

We use standard wattage H4/9003 bulbs which are 55W/60W low and high-beam respectively.

You do not need to remove the bumper, they can be accessed through the reverse side of the engine bay.

Like others have said, it is detailed in the user manual.

Klam - thanks for responding. That's just what I was looking for. Everyone else might think I could ask a question and get a response without everybody getting so pissy about it...

Thanks to Klam
