How do you take off Lower Bumper Indicator on a CD5 (1996) ?

I've twiggled, pushed, pulled, gone under the car 2 push it out nothing seems to work. Im hoping the idiot before me that had the car didn't super glue it on becuase there was no screws on it to take off !

Whats the way to go ?

I need to do it to take my Front Bumper off 2 Change my Headlights.

Thanks in Advance i know there should be someone to help me !

the front bumper lights have 1 screw holding them in.

To access this screw, you need to go from the space on the front bumper between the two lights, and look (to behind the bumper) towards the direction of the bumper lights.

the screw is on a 45o angle, and if you looking at ur car head on, then you go to between the bumper lights, and then look on the other side of the bumper towards the bumper lights on a 45o angle you should be able to see these screws.

when you take them out, turn the screw counter clockwise, but also do not apply pressure, or else the screw will probably push back in rather than come out.
When you have turned all the way and if u dont get the screw out, put ur hand into the front bumper (again between the 2 lights) and physically push th outter part of the light towards the front of the car. This should push out the furthr side of the light folowed by the closer (to the bumper) side of the light.
dont pull too hard on the light because the bulb is still connected...

are they stanley? if they are, then your headlights are also jdm, only that they're from stock (non sir/cd6) accord and have chrome housings. there is no audm headlight so to speak they are all jdm but stock chrome. in US, its different story tho. they have totally different stock headlights.

post pics if you can, keen on seeing how it looks... =P
