Default HELP! How do I take out the headlight housing???

Someone backed into my mom's 91 Accord passenger headlight. I went out and bought a new aftermarket headlight. I know nothing about Accords, so can someone send me a link or tell me how to replace the housing? Thanks in Advance.

I'd have to look at one to be sure, but I'm assuming it's like most other Hondas, in that you'll need to remove the bumper to get to the bolts that hold the headlight assembly on.

I live in Houston as well, so I'd be happy to help you out if you want. If so, PM me.

You have to take the bumper off to do it. I have a 91 and i replaced mine. there are like 6 or 7 bolts and a couple of screws. Just look online and there are diagrams as to how to remove it and is shouldnt take that long. Good luck man.

theres 4 screws for the headlight 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom the bumper is really the issue. theres one under the bumber and like 10 on the top. you can only take 5 off from where the grill is at and the others is under the lights its self.

Thanks everyone! I managed to finish it. The only hard part was getting those rubber screws off. They would not come off for SH*T! So I said screw this and took a drill and drilled them out.
