Default headlight replacement question

Hi guys (& gals)
I'm a complete newbie with regard to Hondas etc and have to replace a headlight on an '02 EP3 TypeR Civic I have just got. Do I also have to remove the bumper as per the link?? The headlight (left side) has a hole in the lense, so are the lenses available on their own - or am I better to replace the whole thing??
Many thanks!
Mike

Yeah youre going to have to remove the bumper to get the headlights out. If I were you I would just buy a new headlight cause just the lense itself might be hard to find.

Also, if you just replace the lense, you might have leakage issues if its not sealed correctly.
