Angry RSX Head lights

I have a 2003 RSX and I was told that the bumper needs to be removed to change a burned out headlight. I just called the dealership and they made it sound like it can be changed just by going under the car. When I tried to press him further to see if I could just do it myself (rather than driving an hour to the dealership) he said I should just come in b/c it's still under warranty. I would rather buy a $2 bulb and do it myself than drive an hour and wait for someone else to do it. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks...

Re: RSX Head lights

You mean you need a new bulb right?

-To change you should remove your front bumper (if you've done it a lot of times it'll take 2-5 minutes, about 10-15 if you've never done it). I don't see how you'll go under the car.
-Are you going to have to pay for you go to the dealer?

And the bulb will PROBABLY be at least 20 bucks knowing Acura. If it's just replacing a bulb you should be able to do taht yourself.

Save your money. Definitely a do it yourself-er. All you need is a screwdriver. Thats the beauty of Hondas...

Yeah, I just need a new bulb. I looked in the owners manual (probably should have done that first) and it makes it sound like you just have to remove one part on the passenger's side(power steering cylinder maybe?) and you can easily get to the bulb. I doesn't say anything about removing the bumper. Do you only have to take off the bumper if it's the driver's side bulb? I'm used to just crawling under the car to change a bulb...this is a pain!
