Hey folks,

A friend of mine drives one busted *** 90 accord. It needs a new headlight bulb (only high beams work on one side). I picked up the right bulb at Kragen yesterday, but swapping it isn't as easy as on my camry where its literally 1) remove gasket 2) remove lever 3) remove bulb 4) reverse.

She doesn't have an owners manual, and the manuals I've managed to dig up on the internets indicates that I have to remove the bumper and grille?

The light is on the passenger side - seems to me like I could just remove the battery to gain access to the headlight bulb.

Am I making this a lot harder than it really is?

Thanks...

Yes sir

 

Well then what's the easy way? I was looking at it again last night, and even if I were to remove the battery the damn coolant reservoir looks like it still blocks the headlight connection.

I looked at another manual, and it sure looks like the whole headlight assembly has to come out - which means taking off the bumper to get access to all the bolts I need to remove in order to get the headlight assembly out...

Surely there must be an easier way!

taking out the battery and coolant reservoir aint that hard (should be fine with removing the reservoir alone)
