removing headlight 1997 accord

[aznbum]

my friend has a honda accord and i am going to change it for him, I was just wondering how to remove the headlights and the clear corners off the car.

Are you just replacing the bulbs on the headlight?

The corners come off it looks like by unscrewing 2 bolts.

on a 97 its just one screw for the corners and four for the headlight assy. The headlight, when looking at the front of the car, has two screws on top, one toward the center of the car to the left or right of the grille depending on which headlight you're doing and one down low behind the bumper. It is possible to get the headlights out w/o removing the bumper, but the bumper comes off so easy, i just took it off when I did mine.

If you don't remove the bumper then at least remove the screws at the wheel well and bend the bumper down and forward, that will allow you to either reach in and unscrew the bolt from the wheel well side or from underneath.

Wuz up yung...... I have a "97" Accord too !!! I changed my corners about 3 months ago, all you gotta do is unscrew the scews that are under the hood and then pull and they pop right out. For a 97 the bulb size is 9006 for the low beams. Hit up my page in a few days and i'll have some pics of my car on there aight. Saty up yung !!!!

I wanted to replace my headlight bulbs both low and high beams. I wanted to know if there was a walkthrough, or if there is a picture guide as in the web page mentioned above. Thanks.

just open your hood and look at the back of the headlight assy, you will see a lock ring around where the wire enters the housing, simply turn that as the arrows on the lock ring say ( i forget which way for off) and the bulb/base/harness will pop right out
