crv headlight removal??

[joyride]

ok this is getting me annoyed, i want to take out the headlights and the only bolts i can see are the top two. do i have to remove the front bar and/or front guard just to get the headlight out?

[joyride]

wow, no replies :(
freaking google searches suck. it only shows me hwo to change a lightbulb lol...
someone must know!!

pretty sure you have to remove the front bar only and there will be more securing points. It's not difficult anyway, few screws here and there and fitment will be the same as prior, it'll only get annoying if you have fog lights then it's only a little bit more fiddling.
Do it and tell me if I was right

[joyride]

i might have to. if i do i'll put up a DIY too haha

[shadou]

why do you need the headlights out ?

[joyride]

to change the damn park lights. :(

[shadou]

sure ? I know some Honda head light designs are stupid but they couldn't have seriously designed one where the whole assemble was required to be removed to replace the smallest globe.
Can you stick a hand in behind the assemble and blind work it out ? might want to look at maybe pissing some stuff out of the way to get more space, like power steering bottle ?

its inside the front guards. i'll take a pic. brb

from this angle you can see the connector/plug for the parklight.
its tucked away in the guards.

shot of the back of the headlight. thats the washer bottle and to remove it i'd have to take off the front bar anyway.

nope no idea on them, can you see the bulb ? facing forward or is it angled ? Try calling up service department at Honda and getting a technician on the phone, they don't usually mind and usually get them from other shops for questions.
good luck

you access it by the wheel arch/fender trim. all u have to do is undo the clip. you dont have to remove the entire trim, say 2-3 of the clips should do
