changing bulb angel eye headlight

I have a 98 honda civic ex....bought it with angel eye/halo ring projector headlights......HOW DO I CHANGE THE BULB....it looks like I need to remove the whole housing to get to it! Can anyone help?

yup, you need to take apart the lens to get at it. Take a heat gun and melt the glue around the lens and pry it apart. Or preheat your oven to 350 degrees and put it in there for no more than 10-15 minutes and start to pry apart the headlight with flathead screwdrivier

ARE YOU KIDDING???? Can an automotive shop do this.....???

no i am not kidding and you can go find out if an automotive shop will do this for you. More than likely they will charge you out the ass.

ok, i am sorry.....i just need to change the headlight bulb...not the ring itself. it just looks hard to get to.....i still need to take apart the assembly???

yup, you can't get to the bulb without taking apart the headlight cause the bulb is in the ring.

BTW: didn't mean for that post to come off assholish, didn't think it would lol.

lol so, Im trippin - this does not sound like something i can do, and im thinking the people where i live wont know how to do it either....how about a bmw dealer???

how do i get a pic at my username?

go to user cp and add an avatar

never thought about that, but taht would be the place to go lol. I'm sure they have gotten a few people who have burnt out LEDs in the halo rings.

Tisk Tisk Tisk. The price to pay for halo's. LOL

alright is the bulb in the halo burned out, or is it a headlight bulb? if it's a halo "bulb", good luck.

it is not the halo itself.....just the bulb....ya know lets say you turn on your headlights......one of them is burned out. and for the trouble, it still is nice to have the angel eyes....just got to find the right repair person - but for now, I will keep workin on it - thanks for all the input, this forum is awesome!

well if it's just the headlight bulb that's a snap. pull the black rubber cap off the back, press down on the metal spring tab and slide it out from under the hook holding it. swing it across to the other side(like opening a door) and slide the bulb straight out. pull the wire connecter off. installation is the reverse of removal.

he means the LED bulb for the halo

:bananasmi Whoo Hoo! Ok, so I did it! I think it was just the fear of the unknown. I had to unscrew and lower body kit, unbolt headlight assembly (to get to rubber cap), pulled rubber cap off, unplugged the electrical connection, unhooked the silver clip, pulled bulb out........and yep, changed the bulb! Like I said, I think it was the fear of the unknown....Thanks to all for your help! You guyz are great!

wait, it was wut??? yeah that's right


just messin :lol2:

eh, i thought he was talking about the LED, my bad. At least that shit is fixed

Im a she!!! not a he! but the he's got the help i may need.....again - thanks for listenin - next i think im gonna try some indiglo gauges...any advice???? and what do you guys know about painting polyurethane?? like, where i live i dont think they know much....what should i ask the shop b4 i let them paint the body kit?

advice with the indiglos, don't bend the gauges and be real careful when laying them over to not move the needles.

i was confused too for a while. tru that, the gauges r easy, just need to do it slow and steady, like GScivic7 said
