just be patient with a heat gun. it took me about 15-20 mins of just heating up the headlights before they started to come off. use a flat head screwdriver to pry the silicone.Hold On Not Done Accelerating

Throw it in the oven. Sounds like your using a heat gun. It only focus heat in one area compared to an oven.

I hate to bring up things that are kinda irrelavant, but the bulbs themselves, damn they are hard to get to, the only way i can see to get to them is removing the entire front end... is this true or no?I have some pretty big hands, so its kinda ahrd to get in there, suggesttions?90 Accord EX F22a1 Auto R.I.P.

It just takes a while to get off and you twist the plastic cover that locks the bulb in place and it comes out. You dont need to take anything apart. Maybe battery for some extra room and Cruise Control if you have big hands.

honestly it depends on which way you want to go with it yes removing the battery would make it alot eaiser and if you have never removed the light's before it's gonna be a b*tch trying to get a good grab on the plastic cover holding the bulb in but other than that just pull out what is ti 2or maybe 3 bolts and the cruise unit pops right out do that and your home free .. good luck bosswe ride for riding we drive for the passion we dont have money other's do .. we do this for the love of our car's ... we are ...Barcode
