    LED Headlights with DRL

    No sorry there are plenty of youtube videos etc. Remove the screws on the back, and take out the bulbs. Heat the light up I used a heat gun, an oven is probably better, or a box with a hole in it for a heat gun as a makeshift oven. Then just use several flat head screwdrivers to separate the...

    Nav accord sound issue

    My first call would be to replace all speakers. As said some half decent 2 ways up front to go with the new rears should make a world of difference. The standard audio kit is 20 year old tech that's also been used for 20 years.

    Headlights honda accord euro 2.2ctdi

    I used a heat gun, a trick I learned afterwards is use a card board box bigger than the lights, cut a hole in the side big enough to insert the heat gun and you have a makeshift oven without upsetting her in doors. Obviously make sure heat isnt aimed directly at one point on the lights.

    Dpf issues - Pls help

    I had dpf issues with mine, had an aftermarket dpf that wasn't very old and was knackered. If you want to keep a dpf (expensive and not the choice I made) Honda is only place I would buy one from.

    Daytime running lights

    The later cars come with slightly different headlights. I'm guessing that was to accommodate this? On earlier cars like mine there was an orange indicator lense cover which also changed to clear. Hopefully someone with a later car can give the necessary information?
