Honda Accord 10th Gen (2018-2022) Headlights
INSTALLATION GUIDE
Required Tools :
- 10mm Socket & Ratchet
- Trim Removal Tool
- Phillips Screwdriver
- Wire Stripper/Crimp Tool
Part 1: Front Bumper Removal
Step 1: Remove Radiator Cover Clips
Open the hood. Use a trim removal tool to pop out all plastic push pins securing the upper radiator cover. Remove the cover to access the top bumper bolts.
Step 2: Remove Top Bumper Bolts
Using a 10mm socket or screwdriver, remove the bolts securing the top of the front grille and bumper.
Step 3: Remove Wheel Well Screws
In the wheel well, remove the screws securing the bumper edge to the fender liner. Repeat on both sides.
Step 4: Pull Bumper Off
Carefully pull the bumper corners outward to release them from the fender clips. Once free, lift the bumper off and set it aside on a soft surface to prevent scratches.
Part 2: Headlight Removal & Prep
Step 5: Remove Factory Headlight
Remove the four bolts securing the headlight assembly (10mm). Disconnect the wiring harness plugs and remove the factory headlight from the vehicle.
Step 6: Transfer Lower Bracket
Remove the black mounting bracket from the bottom of your OEM headlight. Install this bracket onto the new headlight assembly using the original screws. The light cannot be mounted without this.
Part 3: Wiring & Installation
Step 7: Connect Headlight
Connect the separate Red wire to a 12V ACC power source (fuse box) or battery positive. Connect the Black wire to a chassis ground bolt. This powers the demon eyes/DRL animation.
Step 8: Adapter for Touring Models
Use the included adapter harness to convert the factory plug to match the new headlight. If you have an older base model, this may not be needed.
Step 9: Install & Test
Plug in all connectors, including the demon eye wires. Bolt the headlight back onto the car. Turn on the ignition to test all functions (Low beam, High beam, DRL, Turn Signal) before reinstalling the bumper.
The following section applies ONLY to RGB Models. If you purchased the standard version, your installation is complete.
Note: If the lights do not illuminate after installation, please see the last page:

Step 10: Reassemble Bumper
Once testing is complete and all functions work properly, reinstall the front bumper in the reverse order of removal. Secure all clips and bolts.

RGB / App Connectivity Issues
If you are experiencing connection or control issues with the RGB app, please check the following:
Phone Settings & Power: Ensure your phone's Bluetooth is turned ON. Ensure Location Services (GPS) are turned ON (required for Bluetooth scanning on Android).
Important: The vehicle's Running Lights (Parking Lights) must be turned ON to power the Bluetooth module.
Signal Interference: Make sure there are no other strong signal sources inside or near the vehicle that could interfere with the connection.
RGB / App Connectivity Issues
If you are experiencing connection or control issues with the RGB app, please check the following:
Phone Settings & Power: Ensure your phone's Bluetooth is turned ON. Ensure Location Services (GPS) are turned ON (required for Bluetooth scanning on Android).
Important: The vehicle's Running Lights (Parking Lights) must be turned ON to power the Bluetooth module.
Signal Interference: Make sure there are no other strong signal sources inside or near the vehicle that could interfere with the connection.
App Installation & Troubleshooting:
1. Remote Control Pairing:
The remote control comes pre-paired with the lamp. It allows a one-key switch to "Red Light Driving Mode" (static red, no flow animation).
To Re-pair: If the remote does not work, press the brake pedal and hold the remote control button for 10 seconds to complete the pairing.
2. Animation Control:
The RGB lamps allow you to control the running light animations via the APP. (Note: The startup animation is preset and cannot be adjusted.)
3. APP Download:
Search for "LightRunning" (or "Star Light Running") in the App Store/Google Play Store, or scan the QR code on the controller box to download.
4. Bluetooth Connection:
Open the App, click Add Device (Figure 2), enter the Interface (Figure 3), and select the nearby device to complete the Bluetooth connection.
5. How to Adjust Modes:
5.1 Dynamic Mode: The number in the center of the blue box indicates the current mode. Click + or - to switch between different dynamic effects. Click AUTO to cycle through all modes automatically.
5.2 Static Color Mode: Drag the color wheel in the green box interface, or click the preset color buttons to switch to a static, solid color. This will immediately interrupt any playing animation.
5.3 Brightness Adjustment: Drag the slider in the first row of the red box to adjust the brightness.
5.4 Speed Adjustment: Drag the slider in the last row of the red box to change the speed of the animation.
Pro Tip: If you previously used the "Light Running" app and are having connectivity issues, please try downloading "Star Light Running". This is the upgraded version of the App.
Synchronization Check:
Most RGB kits use a physical wire to sync the left and right lights. If you can only control one side via the App, please check the Sync Signal Wire connecting the two lights to ensure it is plugged in securely.
Common Issues & Solutions
1. Light does not turn on after installation
Please first check whether the wiring harness connectors are properly connected and fully seated. Inspect the pins inside the connector to ensure none are bent or misaligned.
If any pins are bent, you may carefully straighten them using a paper clip or other small precision tool, then reconnect the plug securely.
2. Swap test
If the light still does not illuminate, try swapping the left and right lights to determine whether the issue is related to the light unit itself or the vehicle wiring.
3. Condensation inside the light
Condensation may occur due to temperature differences, which is a normal physical phenomenon. After the light has been operating for a period of time and the internal temperature stabilizes, the moisture will naturally dissipate.
This does not affect brightness, performance, or the lifespan of the light.
