Default headlight replacement, HELP

I just got a new set of headlights for my 98 civic. Now how do I get the old ones out? I unbolted them from the car and now it seems to be stuck at the bottom. I try'd pushing back and up to dislodge it with no luck. Any suggestions would be much apprecitated. thanks.

Yes. There are two bolts under the bumper cover.

for the bumper...there are some clips on top of the grill, a screw/clip on each side of the car going into the fender...right by the front of the wheels...and there are also 2 screws under the car holding the bumper on...once you get the bumper off, it will be obvious how to take the headlights off

just get a freaken manual on your make and model..it will make everything much smoother for you and you wouldn't be made fun of here...seems like everyone on here loves to pick on noobs!!!

you should try to do it yourself before even asking these types of people. they don't really help...they just make fun of you and all those BS....

good luck with that job...
