96 EX bumper lens replacement

hey dudes, first time posting. i have a 96 accord 4 dr sedan, i got the euro bumper lenses for free but i gotta do the switch myself.

i tried and the screws are hard 2 reach from the bumper air intake plus they are rusted to **** and it requires a Phillips to take 'em out... anyone have experience replacing their front bumper lens and can guide me through it? thanks...

That screw is it. And it's the only correct way to release the lamp from the bumper cover. Anything short of backing off that screw, and you risk damaging the bumper cover.

thanks dude, any suggestions on the rusted screws though? you know how hard it can be to take phillips screws out of anything when they're rusted... i put some WD40 on them, i'll try it today... but as of yesterday, the screwdriver is not grabbing and the last thing i want to do is force the thing. even when i felt the threaded part of the screw on the back, it felt pretty rusty.

is there a nut holding that screw on at the back? if so, bummer.....
