HELP!!! for those with 94 accords who have replaced their headlights

[Rico]

ok guys im in a dilemma. I'm currently returning my car back to stock and I need to take out my angel eyes. Now I've taken off the front bar, the grill and now both the angel eyes however I can't get the OEM ones to get in, now this is because the angel eyes were thinner and I could slip them out of their sockets while the OEM ones are fatter so I can't.
Now I was thinking that I have to take off this front bar plastic thing (A) but however I can't as the 4 screws holding it (B) are in a bad position to access and the 2 allens key screws (C) are threaded and I can't get them out. Both the B and C screws are symmetrical so theres b and c on the other side of the plastic front bar thing.
For those who have done this please help me as I have to go somewhere with my car tomorrow and dont want to be driving without headlights and a front bar...I'm not sure if i'm going the right way, and the mechanic who installed my angel eyes charged me $200+ for the installation which is way not worth it!

I was going to suggest to take off the "C" bolts...but as you said they are stuffed, then i dont know...

I know when i took out my headlights, i needed to take that "A" bar off...and i screwed up those allen key things pretty bad...not looking forward to having to take them off again...I think your best bet is to try your darndest at getting to those "B" bolts...because, without drilling in the "A" ones, killing them, and then replacing them, i see no other option...

What you have done there is acutally dismantle the front bumper. That bar forms a part of it.

The bolts you need are the pair BELOW the one you marked 'B'. And yes, they are normally almost impossible to access, but you have removed the cover so it should be very easy with a 12mm spanner.

So just the two bottom B bolts im supposed to get at? Since theres 4 I noticed only the two bottoms are attached to the car and the other two tops ones are attached to something different.

I'd go C but the mechanic who did my angel eyes must of threaded them as I can't use anything to get them off...so frustrating!!!

Thanks guys I'll try this, its getting dark though!!! shit gotta hurry up

[Rico]

Thanks guys got it done!!!
ahh stock as rock now :)

how about explaining what your did to resolve the problem,

might be beneficial to others :)

dont ya just love pulling your car to bits

[Rico]

Well pretty much I got my mate to bring over some ranch set that had extendable arms (since I couldnt reach on the inside to get the two bottom "B" bolts). basically as soon as I took these off from both sides the front bar thing "A" was able to slide off perfectly and thus I could just place the headlights in and bolt them in perfectly,
thanks for the help guys, helped me alot, now I just gotta get the wires rewired.

glad u worked it out....although you can actually take off the front bar and the support beam behind it all in one go. Which you normally would have to because of the screw plugs under the head lights that hold the front bar onto the support beam.

U take the indicators out of the front bar and then get your socket with a extension and undo the 12mm bolts that way...


I think smash repairers would be a better place than mechanics to take a car to get headlights changed.


Anyways, i bet now it like "who turned on the friggen lights" when u drive at night lol
