I recently purchased eagle eyes single piece black housing headlamps. I am having a difficult time installing them and would greatly appreciate any tips. I know the bumper cover has to come off but even though they were made for the 1990-1993 accord (mine is a 1992), they don't appear to fit. I'm thinking that I might have to remove the existing headlight bracket for the old ones in order to install the new ones. HELP PLEASE

the lights were made for 90-93? wtf did you get the from egay? they changed the lights in 92 so i dont see how it can fit all years w/o changing the grill. the case may be that you got them for a 90-91, i think they would still bolt in just not fit with the grill.
you got the bumper off right? (the 4 bolts behind the bumper lights and the 2 nuts in the engine bay) as well as the grill (4 or 5 screws and the 2 tabs on either side that you pop out with a flathead) undo the bolts and the plugs and they should slide right out.
last thought: did you pull the bezel out of the mounting bracket? if you did that your going to want to pull out the mounting bracket. you wont be able to use the stock bracket since it has two seperate lights. i hope you already knew this.

thanks
Hey, thanks a lot for the tips. I figured I had to take out that bracket. I was just concerned because the original appears to have some sort of spacer. With that bracket out of the way, I should be able to do it. Thank-you for your time! (and yes, they were an ebay item... got em for only about 150 and they look amazing).

Wow, very involved install...
I completed all of my exterior lighting installs today. Just wanna give people the heads up on these eagle eyes projector head lights... you have to take the bumper off to install them, not just the cover - the actual metal bumper. Theres four bolts on the front and two nuts on the back. But it was definitely worth it!
