Getting Started

Let’s get started by popping the hood of your Honda Odyssey. The lever for that is by your left leg when you’re sitting in the driver’s seat. It’s near the gas cap lever.
Once you pull the lever, you can go around to open your hood. If you use your hand to slide under the hood near the Honda sign, you will find a little lever under the hood that will release the hood when pulled to the side.
Once that’s unlocked, you can push your hood up and use the bar to prop it open.
Accessing the Headlight
With the hood open, locate the plug that attaches to the headlight.
Using a flathead screwdriver, gently push down to release the plug.
“Unscrew” the old bulb (it’s more of a short turn than unscrewing really), replace it with a new one, and secure it in place by turning it until it clicks.
Reattach the plug to the new bulb.
Testing
Once the new bulb is in place, test the headlight to ensure it’s working properly. Avoid using the brights for this test, as we’re focusing on the replaced bulb.
Once confirmed, you can close your hood and you’re ready to go!
Conclusion
And there you have it! A simple and cost-effective way to replace a headlight in your Honda Odyssey 2013.
This should save you about $400 at the dealership… I still remember getting quoted about that much many years ago to replace a headlight in my last car. Yikes.
