I'm trying to install fog lights on the car and am removing the bumper. I have the FAQ page downloaded and printed out, and I have a Chilton's manual telling me where all the nuts/bolts/screws are.

I've removed everything in the FAQ page, but the bumper's not coming off. There seem to be three screws under each headlight that I can't get at. The headlights won't come off, as the screws holding them on are grounded. I notice in prelude2005's pics he doesn't remove the lights, and the FAQ and Chilton's dont' say to remove the lights. Am I missing something?

did you get the two nuts that are inside the engine bay. The are right below the back of the headlihgts on either side (one per side). Chiltons say NOTHING about them but they are there.

Thanks, Zimmlude, I'll try that. I got some that I had to get at through the turn signals (removed the turn signals and removed the radiator reservoir). I'll see if there's anything else...

But the screws immediately below the headlights (looking at them from the front) don't need to be removed?

not as far as I can remember

The chiltons manual will tell all that need to be remove except for those stupid nuts.

from my understanding, you can't remove the headlght w/o re moving the front bumper, i believe those screw are screw onto the steal supoort

You can't remove the front bumper without taking off the entire bumper and supports...

Those plastic screws under the headlight are like Honda's worst idea ever....we had to remove my bumper to tow my car cause it was way too low but we had no time to take off all the supports, so three of us just ripped the bumper straight off and broke all the plastic screws....

I don't recommend doing that unless you knew you were gonna repaint the bumper anyway...

You have to take out several large bolts to get the entire bumper off. The details should be in the JDM headlight write up.

when I took my bumper off to install the fogs, I pushed in the headlight (You can push it in enough to remove the screws). I had trouble taking off the one that was closest to the center, ended up breaking those

Alright, I'll try that, though you guys wouldn't believe the bad luck I'm having lately... everything's happened to me on Sunday and today. All I need now is for a pigeon to crap on me or something...

I knew my PO.com people wouldn't let me down...!

Yes, the bolts were there, just as you all said. The screws under the headlights didn't need to be removed at all. All I was missing were those bolts below the headlights. The bumper came off smoothly, fogs are now in. Putting the bumper back on took me the greater of one hour or so and was much easier than the removal.

Again, thanks, guys! Sure do appreciate it.
