Default i searched but .... to no avail. How do you change the headlight bulb on a 2000 civic?

Uhh doesn't the owners manual say how to replace the bulb? I dunno any other explanation tha tis better. And no you don't need to pull the whole housing.

You usually just yank off the rubber cover, pull that back a bit. Grab the clip and press down on it to release the connector. Pull that out and you should see the bulb by itself being held in by another clip. Release that clip and the bulb should be completely free.

I pulled back the rubber thing but there is a screw or somehting holding the bulb in there. And there is no room for a screwdriver.

I just got my car(as u can see i'm a noob on this forum) it's a 2000 civic Si with 58Kmi.
Any help would be appreciated(oh yeah it didnt come with an owners manual).

Thanks

That screw holds in that piece of bent wire looking piece, you don't want to remove that. The bent wire clip piece has a free end. You take the free end press it torwards the bulb and it should move aside and release pretty easily. Drive your car down to the autoparts store, I'm sure they've done enough headlights to show you. It took me a while to figure out that clip too.

first off you unplug the power plug, then take out the black rubber piece which is behind the headlight...then there is a piece that holds the bulb in place(the clip)...push that piece in and it should pop right out but the clip will stay attached to the headlight....take out the bulb and do everything i just said backwards...hope this helps bro...haha...dont worrie its not difficult at all to do it...its a learning experience man...i was noob exactly like you before...
