How to Replace Headlight Assembly 98 Civic

Hey everybody,

I need to replace the the driver side headlight assembly. Any help would be great. Do I need to remove the bumper? I have no idea how to do that. Thank you in advance.

Yes, you need to pull the bumper.
It's pretty easy, everything unbolts or has plastic
clips that are easily removed.
(There are bolts behind the bumper that need to be removed
to remove the headlight.)
The one bolt that's hard to find is at the corner of the bumper
where it ends at the fender, next to the wheel.
you have to pry the splash shield out a little to access it.

There's also a bracket that holds the bumper right below each
headlight that you have to remove after you get the bumper off.
You'll see every thing once you start looking.
It's actually quite easy.
