The turn signals?
Get a long handled mechanic's phillips screw driver and you should see a small rectangular hole in the center lower grille on either side. I find it easiest to remove the upper grille and stick my arm down there to help guide the screw driver. There's a small plastic "cup" if you will that has a single screw in it. Stick the screw driver through that rectangular hole and into the cup and unscrew it, after awhile you should feel it starting to come loose. The outside of the lense has a tab that fits into the bumper so pull it outwards and swing it from the inside.

Re: removing bumper lights
Thanks :D
btw, are you one of the guys who built the original accord because it seems like i could ask any question like what the exact bolt size is on any random* part and you would know it. haha

Re: removing bumper lights
That's an old picture. I bought the greddy when i cracked the type r. Now the greddy is cracked so i'm going to a smaller lip.
I don't even thing the car was actually boosted at that point, I was just knocking out the intercooler fitment before doing the rest of the job to minimize down time.

Re: removing bumper lights
Found what yo guys were talking about in time to realise that i didn't have a long enough screw driver to reach it. I ended up just taping off practically my whole bumper and doing it on the car(better since the can was running low and it sprayed better holding it upright instead of strait down). looks pretty good. No runs and the blinks still show through in the daylight

Re: removing bumper lights
Originally amber, thats why i had to do so many coats to get it black. my tail/rear marker lights took 3coats 4 at most. These took 6-7. I made sure that i could still see em with every coat. cuz my rear ones are iffy during the day lol.
and we usually have longer screw drivers but we are in the process of quickly rebuilding our racecar so all our tools are all over the place. I just gave up after a half hour

Re: removing bumper lights
well, its circle track racing. And the track is very small. Small enough to stay in 2nd the whole track. Only v-8's that get out there are bump-to-pass which is pretty much a demolition derby with laps, and the late model cars. my class=4cyl only. Almost everyone runs 2.3L mustangs.

Re: removing bumper lights
nope, dirt circle track. it was all gutted and what not, but the b18x was rocking for sure. he probably isn't a honda guy and saw it as a perfectly good race car.
