Hey guys soo I finally took my headlights apart. Now i'm kinda stuck...and my fingers are hurting bad...lol

I got my headlights apart...and now I dunno how to take the reflector bowls out...these are 05 civic headlights...and as far as I can see there are 3 mounting points. I've included pics, one is a side mount, one is a top, and one is a bottom. The bottom mount has a screw that u can turn from the back that moves the reflector bowl up and down.

Does anyone know how to get these out?

I'm gonna say that you have to pull on the reflector until either 1 of 2 things happens: 1) The reflector bowl comes out, or 2) The mounting tabs break and the reflector bowl comes out.

i am wondering y your doing this. something i can learn new everyday. i would say turn the screw counter clock wise till it doesnt come out anymore, then get the right tool (i dont know what its called), the screw looks like a *****. long shaft fot he screw and a ball end for the adjustments. u need the tool that will pull the side clips holding that ball end open, and pull the screw out. thats what i remember from my nissan.

Its cool...I finally got it....you gotta back out the adjustment screw until the refector reachest its full height. You have to keep on applying pressure and push the reflector up, then when its at the heighest point use a screw driver to push the tabs in. The hold the reflector in place, and push the tab and everything connected to it inward while u screw clock wise. This will pull the tab away from the reflector, when you get the tab all the way in...just push the reflector down push the tabs in on the other 2 mounting points and it just slides out nicely. Took me 2 hours to figure that out.
