You need to remove the front bumper in order to remove the headlights

its not 100% what you're after but the first few steps guide you to how to remove the plastic cover.


To take off the front bar i would recommend you jack up teh front end to get underneath easier.

you need to heat up the headlight so the glue/seal is weak enough for you to take apart the headlight.

if I was you, i would put a bit of water into the headlight, and take it back to honda and claim it on warranty. water into the headlight is a warranty job, i got my front and rear lights replaced under warranty this year.

how long ago did you buy your car?
if the model is 2005, it should still have warranty because it's not 2008 yet.
