Icon2 HEADLIGHT BULB

alright guys this morning going to work i got stopped by my local cop, he said the reason he stopped me over is because my right side headlight is not working so i said "oh ok officer" so i gave my license and insurance card yada yada gave me a warning ticket and off i go to work. so after work i stopped by my local auto zone and bought the headlight bulb, thinking to myself how hard is it to change a damn bulb i did it on my previous 92 civic and it was a piece of cake. pop the hood and i realize that the damn wiper fluid tank was in the way ok this new , so i tried taking the whole headlight off take out the nuts on the front and side and now here is were i get stuck is there bolts/nuts still holding the headlight assembly? this is getting a pain the *** just for damn bulb any advice how to replace this thing? it's getting dark so stopped for today before i get frustrated and start yanking this damn thing off . i hope i don't have to take the whole bumper just to get it out

and before anyone else say it i did search it and didn't really find anything regarding this situation unless my search skills FAILS ME

if you have an 04/05, its easier. you just have to twist off the bulb after you unplug it, no wire clip

i have a 02 ep3 i changed my bulbs so many times all you have to do is take off the wiring first then pull the rubber boot after that a piece of metal thing is holding your bulbs press it upward from there it should get off from the lock and it will come off with your bulb

I think the bulb you changed is the one you can actually put your whole hand in there the bulb I need to changed is the one that the wiper fluid tank is blocking it. Fyi my car is a 04 if that helps

i have an 04 as well, you're talking about the low beams.
like i mentioned before, just unplug it, and just twist off the bulb.
my hands arent the smallest but i used a flathead to help me unplug the bulb after pressing the release tab.

it is a tight squeeze but i managed to get the bulb out without too much of an effort
