u can reach it through the engine bay. The area is really tight, but try to grab the socket and turn it a bit and it'll slide right out.

Yup, it's a whole lot easier with that top out of the way!

Do you guys have the extensions that came with the JDM's?

I made sure that I got the extensions so that I could change the corner bulbs very easily. They are 3 inch grey pieces of plastic that slide over the corner bulb harnesses and stick out into the engine bay far enough to be able to get your hand on them and twist easily.

If you don't have them, I suggest you try to track them down because they are very convenient.

The extensions are standard equipment on the JDM Stanley lights. Without them, it is very hard to change the corner bulbs so Honda had to make some sort of extension.

The corner bulbs don't burn out often so if you don't have them it will probably be a while before you have to replace them, but I just wanted them just in case.

Exactly what Mark said. Originally I had stock lights that came with the JDMs. Then I changed the bulbs to hyperwhite and those extensions came in handy. No way in hell would I think of taking the headlamps off. They're staying on forever.

it is very easy to change the cornor bulbs, i just did mine last week. just take off the top of the window washer and then you might have to take off your intake (that is what i did for a better reach) and the you can do it easily. make sure when you put the bulb on, not to get too much oil on the bulb cuase it might POP (blow up or shatter).

ac

est time for this, 20-30 minutes or even less
