hi all, i changed my headlights last night to some neon blue ones....but i don't think i got the clip on properly....at one time i know there was a sight online that had a detailed pic by pic how to...does anyone know of one now, or can give me some insight on the clip???

 

Did you change your bulb or the entire housing?

 

just the bulb....but i couldn't get the little clip in properly....

 

maybe i should also note that it is a 98 civic...so 6th gen headlight assembly...

 

ok... first... take the bulb out and see how the clip goes into place... u sorta have to slide it in... once u see how it goes in... put the bulb in and do the same thing... it just clicks in place... the first time i did it i could have sworn i was retarted... i couldnt put the thing on and had to ask someone...

4dr-gsr; feeling like an ***

 

Ditto. To get the clip in requires practice. It took me a long long time when I first did it. It did reach a point of frustration. Now, it's like one or two tries. If I could describe it in words. In-up-in-over-down. Keep the moves linier, rather than rounded. The clip is a must to hold the bulb right. It feels a bit different with and without the bulb, but the steps are the same. I would say try it with an old bulb so you avoid touching (or banging) the new bulb around in the housing, until you got the touch. Lastly, try using your middle finger on the clip cause it's got better length, strength, and control.

 

well guys, thanx for the instructions...but i f*c@e^ myself....the clips are no longer on the car (they are in my glovebox)....so now i need a pic or something of how they go on....please, someone shed some light on my headlight problem!!!

 

come on guys, there are thousands of you out there driving around in 6th gen civics all pimped out and crap...just give a guy some help with a simple thing like how the headlight clip is installed!!!!

 

Don't have a digital camera to take any pics. It can only go in one way. This is a bad example, but here it is }

The top and bottom need to go in. It pivots on those area. And the clip swings open where it locks.
