i searched and i searched. didnt find anything

anyway, i am in the process of removing the headlamp assembly for the 94 Accord


i removed the 2 bolts on top, the ones on each side, but my problem is that i cant pull it out. its too big with the back part. so is there a way to seperate the Headlamp Assemly from the rear frame thing???

please help!!!

 

One question- do you have the front bumper cover off? There is a bracket under the headlight assembly to hold the cover in place and that is probably what is holding you up.

 

no, the assembly is entirely loose..i just cant pull it out because its so big.

i was actually trying to take off the bumper cover, but there are screws under the headlight that are holding the bumper in still.

the entire assembly is just so big, so i was asking if the back frame piece of the headlight could be seperated...

 

you will have to remove the front bumper. take off your bumper lights, there are two bolts on either side that hold the bumper support to the radiator core support. take those out along with the bolt on either side that holds the bumper cover to the fender. once you have that removed the bumper support and bumper should come right off. oh yeah you also need to pop out the little clips that hold your fender liner in. once you remove the bumper the headlights will come right out. i have done this a few times to black out headlights.

 

i did unbolt the headlights...4 bolts for each headlight...BUT what about the screws along the top of the bumper...i believe there are 7. . .4 which are blocked by the headlights?

it looks like the screws along the top of the bumper cover go into the bumper support

 

i also already unbolted the bolts you mentioned about the bumper, but like i was just asking....the screws along the top of the bumper cover???

 

woo woo

i got it!


thanks goes to brads94accord for the further assistance via IM

 

Howd you get the 4 clips under the head lamps?

 

Which four clips?

To remove the headlight assemblies the complete front bumper assembly needs to be removed.
Remove the five 10mm headed bolts that hold the undertray to the bumper
Remove the two phllips headed screws that attach the bumper to fender.
Remove the two front parking lamps, you will need a long shanked phillips head to remove the screw from inside the grille that locks in the parking lamps.
Pull the parking lamps from bumper, detach the electrical connector, remove from bumper.
Remove the four bolts attaching the bumper to the car body.
Gently pull the bumper assembly forward, it will catch on a couple of hangers.
Lift the bumper to get over the hangers, pull forward and remove the bumper assembly.

Remove the single screw attaching the corner lamps to the headlamp assemblies.
Gently pull straight forward, fairly easy to break the tabs if not careful.
Disconnect the electrical connectors.
Remove corner lamps.

Remove the two screws under the headlight outside.
Remove the single screw under the headlight grille side.
Remove the two 10mm headed bolts on top.
Pull forward, disconnect headlight connectors.
Remove headlight.

If you are trying to disassemble the headlights their are four clips that hold the lense to housing. But I cannot recall if the components are glued together.
