Default Putting on headlights on 98 accord

I just got a pair of headlights and I wonder how I can get the stock ones off.
Anyone got ideas?

It's a pain in the ***. it's easy, just time consuming. Get a manual?

What type of answer is that ???..........anyway, pull of the front bumper cover and then there are several bolts holding the stock headlight assembly on.

Easy thing to do. The only problem you might have is getting the actual bumper off. There are a few plastic clips that don't exactly detach easily.

you have to remove the bumper supports too, al least on the 5th gen, stupid accords are ten times more difficult to work on compared to civics and integras. **** you have to remove the whole rear interior just to change the springs and shocks.

there are i believe 4 plastic thingys when you lift up the hood
then you have to go underneath the front bumper and take off i believe 4-6 more plastic thingys and (2) 10mm bolts on both sides...
then under both the driver side and the passenger side fender well...right where the front bumper ends there is a 5/16ths nuts i believe as soon as you move all the bolts and plastic thingys...just carefully pull off the front bumper...from there on go around the headlight and look for each bolt...there are 2 bolts underneath each head lights that require a extension bar for your wrench
