Default 1997 Accord Headlight Removal

I did a search and couldn't find any related topics.

Does anyone know how to remove the headlamps and which specific screws need to be taken out for the process.

I am planning to polish my headlights as they have become dull.

I know you need to take off the front bumper. Anyone help please!

If you found the link just quote it, Thanks.

Taking of the front bumper helps alot, but I did it without removing it by unscrewing every screw that could possibly hold the headlight in place and then wiggling it out. To take off the bumper though


4 bolts (2 on either side) behind the turn signals, you need to remove those to access them

2 clips on the bottom of the bumper, plastic clip things in the middle

2 screws in the fender right at the top where the bumper meets the fender

2 bolts holding the fender plastic lining to the bumper

I think that's all of them, once those are off, just lift the bumper up about an inch, and then pull out - it should come off easily. You should be able to see the bolts that hold the headlight assembly on.

2 on the top, 2 on the bottom, one on the side all 10mm if I remember correctly
