Clearing Headlights - Removing Bumper i am going to clear my headlights. Do you have to remove the front bumper or can you work around it. I saw the post where you had to remove it. I am hoping it can be done with the front bumper on....
u really dont have to remove the entire bumper.....side the screws at the sides and the clips on top of the grill......and then pull a lil and you can work with the bumper hanging

save yourself the headaches and just take the bumper cover off...ive done it numerous times before and it seriously only takes like 5mins.

lol should be a theif i can take that **** off in seconds ive done it so many times.. lol
for the best result: make sure you use some masking tape to tape around the black adhesive stuff, so when you pull the insert out, so that black adhesive wont stick on your chrome part.

Rep Power: 0 cryption: painted his lights? I can't really tell. What color were they painted? It looks kinda shadowed. Is that the intention?
Also, when you clear headlights, do you HAVE to have a yellow bulb there? I didn't think you did, but I saw civic HB the other day, with cleared headlights, but a yellow bulb there, so it just got me to thinking...

Remove the red screws/clips, pop sides of bumper and pull forward, remove green 10mm screws, remove headlights. Simple as that. Especially if it is the first time you've taken the bumper off and you are scared of scratching it up.

Rep Power: 0 the DIY is not very informative when it comes to actually doing the clearing!
everyone keeps asking about the bumper, thats the easy part. but i want to know more information about actually clearing the headlight.
what is the best way to seperate the case? do you use hair dryer?
i am concerned about puting it in the oven so i want to use a hair dryer.
also, how do you re-Seal the headlight? do you buy caulk?? laytex? how do you get the head light back together.
this is the kinda stuff i wanna know. i am going to be doing this today, and i need some extra help so please post some specifics. THANK YOU. also if you have a link to a thread that explains what im asking that would be great too.

Rep Power: 0 Can anyone answer my light question?
I asked if you needed to replace the bulb with a yellow/orange bulb if you take out the colored corner. I don't think so, but I saw a Civic HB with cleared lights, but colored bulbs... made me paranoid.
Someone please help settle my paranoia!
