98 Civic Headlight Bulb Replacement

[keever]

Does anyone know how to easily change the driver side bulb without having to actually take off the bumper due to the power steering fluid well being in the way. If anyone knows how or has some hints send them my way please.

Removing front bumper is not necessary.

From Civic Owner's manual:

1. Move power steering reservoir tank out of your way by lifting it out of its holder.
2. Remove electrical connector from bulb by squeezing the connector on both sides to unlock. Pull connector straight off.
3. Remove rubber weather seal by pulling on the tab.
4. Unclip the end of the hold-down wire from its slot. Pivot it out of the way and remove the bulb.
5. Insert new bulb.
6. Reassemble all parts.
