[ricardo2537]

im trying to take out my left headlight becasue its got a little hole in it and the water keeps blowing up my lightbulbs. lol

i know you have to take the bumper off and there supposed to be two bolts on top of the headlight housing. and then theres supposed to be two on the bottom facing forward i think? but instead theres a bolt on the side closest to the fender and no bolts on the bottom i can see but theres one bolt thats sideways hidden way back in there. i need some help on how the hell im supposed to take this out asap. any advice is appreicated

Seriously, what you need to do is do a search on the many Honda based Forums on the internet, there are lots of them, and one dedicated to CRX's. On just about every Honda forum, there is a link to a digital version of the Helm's manual for our cars. Then, you sir, will find everything you need.

from wiki answers.......

First open the hood and remove the screws that hold on the corner lights, 88-89 will have 2 screws on the outside off each light, 90-91 will have 1 screw attaching it under the hood, remove the corner lights, then take out the screws that hold in the bumper lights/turn signals and remove them from the bumper. On the back of the bumper, in the front wheel opening, there are 2 phillips screws on each side, remove them, then going thru the turn signal holes, there are 2 bolts on each side, 88-89 will be 10mm, 90-91 will be 14mm, remove them and the front bumper will come off, there may be some bolts on the bottom front of the bumper attached to the plastic panels under the front of the car, you don't have to take the bumper completely off, just pull it out far enough to get to the 2 bolts under the front of the headlight assy. Remove the 2 bulbs from the back of the headlight, remove the 4 10mm bolts holding it in, 2 on top facing up, and two under the light facing forward, (the 2 under the bottom are the reason you have to remove the bumper) and remove the headlight assy. If you have a new assy off of the same year model it should bolt right on, if it's off a differant year or off a civic, you may have to change the mounting bracket off the old headlight onto the new one. Good Luck!.


seriously people google is your friend.

i know about all the forums and stuff but none of them say how to get the bumper support off to get to the headlight. thats my problem..

[ricardo2537]

reps for the help though

[KevinT707]

Will only require you to take the bumper off, which will allow you to get to that last bolt on the bottom/side of the headlight. It's rare to ever have to take the bumper support off.

[ricardo2537]

i see it but its sideways and way down in there? lol

[Eman_jDm]

If u can c it try using a swivel it helps for bolts that r hard to get to

[ricardo2537]

k. it rediculous to do so much for a headlight.
