changing or clearing headlights

aight guys, dont chew me out for this cause im lazy and dont want to look throught every thread to find the answer but, how exactly do you get the headlights off. ive heard that you have to remove the front bumper first. i know there are 4 screws on it and i can get to 3 but the fourth is behind the bumper and unreachable. also how do i clear them. ive seen something about putting them in the oven but i dont know. if you guys can help me out id be appreciate it. thanx.

OMG just go to the DIY section, n00b! you're going to get chewed out simply because this is by far the most common DIY done on this site, and you're not better than anyone else, so that doesn't entitle you to "being lazy" and expecting an answer to something already answered literally tens of times.

to answer your question - take the bumper off, duh. if you have a sedan, oven is highly recommended - putting them in for 2-3 minutes on low heat will do the trick. if you have a coupe, it will help but is not necessary. you can pry them apart slowly, or use a hair dryer/heat gun. now PLEASE don't post something like this again.

LOL another one of these well you need a 10 MM socket and a extension to get that 4th screw its a pain I ran into the same problem on my civic. Also heat that baby up with a dryer works like a charm
