Default changing the headlight bulb of 98 accord LX 4dr

i was about to get started, but then I saw there were screws behind the bulbs which I have to take off before proceeding, but the space is limited, also the air box thing is kinda blocking the way, tried to pull that box out but seems impossible. can anyone here help me? thanks

you are not suppose to mess with the screws, want you do is hold and twist the blub itself counter-clock wise. after you get it loose, remove the harness, there's a clip there you need to squeeze

And don't touch the bulb without latex gloves on.

A three year old could push the clip free from it's latch. the clip will then pivot to the side so the bulb can be removed
