I have cleared 2 sets of sedan headlights and am going to attempt to clear a set of coupe headlights tomorrow. My question is, is there anything different i should watch out for. The best way i have found isthe oven to get the headlight to open. I know that honda uses different glue between the sedan and coupe, sedan grey, and coupe blac. Think it will pretty much be the same process?
Let me know

I'm not sure about the differences in the overall process but when it comes to prying the housing apart and overcoming the strength of the sealant, I hear that coupe lights (black stuff) are easier to take apart than sedan lights (grey stuff). I have a coupe and I didn't need to use the oven.
there is a different type of screw holding the clear lens and the chrome middle part. you know what i mean? in the sedan its a phillips, in the coupe its something weird. (theres a thread about it...its like a tourquet or something)
thats the only difference i can think about besides the goo that holds them together. the black goo is easier to pry open and scrape off tho. so if you did 2 sedans already, coupe should be a piece of cake!
Ok, Im going to the store to buy that t10 hex head alen wrench just in case. Thanks for the info guys, always alot of help =) Ill post pics when were done.

what do you mean? like different lightbulbs?? i didnt know that. is that why some places say that 3156/7 bulbs will fit as a replacement for 7443? cause i have both types and the 3156/7 definitely does NOT fit in the sedan housings.
