I was wondering if i need to take off my entire bumper o rnot. I found 3 screws around the lamp but it still wont come out.

 

take the bumper off, there is no way around it

 

Yes you have to take your front bumper off to get to the other bolt that holds it in. There are 4 per lamp.
To take the front bumper off it is pretty easy. Take out your lower bumper lights behind that will be two 14/17 (cant remember) take them out.
THen there are two phillips head screws in the wheel well per side take them out.
Then there are two bolt on the underside of the bumper thats holds the splash guard up take them out.
Now you can pick up slightly on the bumper and take it off.
Hope that helps

 

the bolts behind the bumper lights are 14s
and im pretty sure you have to take out the little filler peice that runs along the top of the bumper as well. i can't remember for sure but for me it made things easier.

 

filler piece is for civic owners only btw.

he is running a crx

Thanks for all your help. I just got those projector headlamps...I hooked one up on one side and left my original on the other..I have to say the projector is a 100 times brighter than my stock lamp! just thought i would let you know.

Found out my car has been in an accident just now as im taking off my bumper. Some metal is still bent. They had to shave the back of one of my lower bumper lights because metal was bend in the way of the housing. This sux

Thanks again

Yea I got some projectors for my rex about two months ago and they are awesome. Did you get black or chrome?

 

Chrome, i have yet another problem now though... I got my front bumper off, and there is a black metal bar going all the way accross the car. well on the driver side, the accident pushed it so far back, that there is no clearance for me to take out my old light. Is that bar removable or do i need to get out my rubber malot.
