2003 headlight removal?
Aight so i got my headlights in today and i went outside with the diy steps printed out.....well what was suppose to be a 20-40 min prodject became much more complicated for my friend and i. I did what the steps said removing the plastic clips and the screws in the wheel well....and then undid the bolts and screws on the headlights (2top and that pesky one under the car) and atlast the unit would not come out.....wtf!!!! Can someone help me out.....i would like to put the headlights in and everyone seems to say it is really easy to remove the bumper well i had one hell of a time today and decided to post this tonight so i can do it tomm afterwork......please help!!!!! Also the halo rings???? what do i need to do to get those running?
ok theres ur problem u dont remove any clips from the wheel well.. only one screw on each side... then all the clips on the bottem of the bumper... all the clips above the Honda symbol... and then just pull it off... it pops off the side tracks once u remove the side screw.. its really simple .. i did it myself the first time before the DIY... just look at the bump and how it connects .. theres no hidden clips or screws.? does that help?
is there still a problem, i mean is there something you still don't understand well enough to warrent a DOUBLE POST..........dude if so just leave the civic stock, or drive down to me and ill do it for you FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!

i did it, geez, the reason i posted 2x was b/c i was unsure of where to post....i did a search on the 2003 and on some post i saw that the 2003 coupe set-up was different from the 2001 and 2002....so i decided to post twice. I also needed to know before i went to work in the morning. As for the jack question, that was for my own knowledge, b/c the diy instructions say to jack the car. Thanks for all the help, but sh*t yall got some forum hate. These are here to help people, not whine and complain,b/c someone post twice, or doesnt understand something exactly. Thanks it was very easy once i took my time and sat to look at everything.

ur an idiot...
anyway wat r u asking? are u puting a headlight bulb in and wana know how? or are u advising him to do that...
if ur putting a headlight bulb in and wana know how.. theres a connector thing behind ur headlight.. unplug that.. take off the bumper.. take out the headlight.. unclip the fastener thing by moving it to the side and up and pull the bulb out.. do reverse process to finish.. duh.

Re: 2003 headlight removal?
on my 01 there are 4 bolts holding the headlights in place 2 on top one under it and one on the side. When you take the headlights out the black bracket comes out along with it

if you take your bumper off to replace a headlight bulb then your the idiot
Re: 2003 headlight removal?
i never changed my bulbs with my headlights still on.. the only time i changed them, i had the headlights off to reseal them... i guess u can do it while it was on. i called him an idiot for asking a question on a 4 year old thread..
