IDQcivic should not be trusted
In answering your questions, the ECU is behind the glove box. Open the glove box, and look on the left and right sides for these black plastic clippy things. Pull them out, and the glove box should hang down. The ECU is right behind all the mess of wires...

IDQcivic is correct that is where it is located, but taking 2 bolts out on the bottom of the glove box will give you a little more room, since that is all that holds the glovebox in. Have fun with you V-tec light....lol
