Removing headlights on '05 LX
I just bought this car a month ago and instead of expirementing like I normally do, I would rather find out if someone knows how to pull these out so I can change the bulbs. I have tried already, I found a plastic clip and a bolt, but even after removing these, I still couldn't figure it out. I'm sure it's something really easy that I am looking right past, but any help would be great.

headlight does not need to come out to change the bulb, you jus tneed to get your hand in there
assuming they are the same as an 04 but i would think they are

if u want to change the bulbs. DO NOT take out the headlights. pop ur hood n reach at the back of the headlights n change em.
if ur just wanting 2 kno how to take em out. gotah take ur front bumper off. then a few 10mm bolts

To change the turn signal bulbs you have to go through the fender lining. From there twisting, turning, finding the socket, aligning it in the hole and all that is a b!tch, trust me... I did BOY_R_D's bulbs on his 04. If I had to do it again, I'd take off the headlights.
To take off the headlights requires you to remove the front bumper. Look for a DIY on that and then there are 4 bolts for the headlight... it's all in the same spot as the 03's.

no taking off the headlights is what yur going ot have to do if u want to get to anything other then the main bulb. unless you have tiny hands and great eyes and depth perception then take off the headlights. the bumper is easy as hell to get off. i guess if it were just the passenger side lights u could take out the battery, but i've never done that so i dont know.

you dont have to take off the bumper. You can do everything from the inside fender. You kinda have to feel your way around and your arms gonna be scratched up from the plastic rubbing against your arm, but it'll work. The first time you do it, it'll take forever, but once you get use to it. You can do it in 5min.
I have a 04 ex coupe and switch both the low beams and turn signals without taking off the bumper. You can do it from up top from the engine or through the inner fender. You just take out one of the inside tacks, like it saids in the manual to do.
