Default How to remove glass headlight from 91 CRX HF

HI guys, I broke my drivers side headlight glass envelope, the bulbs still burn. I picked up one from a guy that was parting out a c-rex, but I can't figure out how to remove and replace it? I have a Chilton, but it only shows how to replace the bulbs.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the picture, it shows a lot more than I can see from the top. Any idea if I have to remove any body parts to access and remove?

i think the way u are supposed to do is take out your turn signals the ones in the front bumper and unscrew the two ten mm bolts in there and take off the whole support and bumper. Then i make it alot easier.

Thanks guys for all the help, I got the headlight envelope out and the new one in yesterday afternoon.

I have a 91 red crx hf with a black window louver. All original with 185,000 miles. Still runs strong and looks pretty good. About once a month, someone will stop me and offer to buy my car.

Here is a article on the Honda crx if you guys haven't seen it.
