    Help: Headlights and Sidemarker removal

    Hello everyone . I'm new here and i'm a high school student with a Burgandy '91 Accord Coupe. I'm a noob when it comes to car because i only got into fixing my car about last year. I've already searched all the other threads and i still cant get my headlights and side markers off.
    For one thing i know the Side marker is held on to by 2 nails. But i was only able to get one the other one i notice is like on the lower side near the bumper which is impossible to reach.
    And i've manage to remove my bumper but i still cant remove my headlights. All of this tinkering around and struggling have made me accidentally crack my left headlight.
    I need help because those other threads didnt really help me and the manual is soo confusing.
    Current Car:
    1991 Accord LX
    Mods: STOCK!
    Future Plans:
    Better All Red Tailights (i messed the driver side up bad!)
    15" Rims and tires
    Drop its about 2"
    Amber sidemarkers
    Amber turn signals
    Lip spoilers
    etc.

    the headlights are held in by 5 10mm bolts, while the side makers on clip in if they are oem, or should have 2 screws depending what kind they are, if they are oem just use a flat head screwdriver and thre in a lil opening on the side of it, just stick it in there and push the clip in and it should come out, there shouldnt be any NAILS period holding nothing in place

      To remove sidemarkers just take the 2 screws on the top out.After you have taken them out wiggle them torwards you and they should be off.Then just disconnect the bulbs.For the headlights it's a little more complicated.
      Project EP hatch on the way

        in sidemarkers, i think he meant corner lights...noobs tend to have a problem removing them..i remember back in the day when i thought they come out to the side as opposed to pulling out front. as a result, i broke a few corner lights lol

        but anyway, to remove your front bumper, refer to this thread

        after you remove your bumper, you should be able to have access to all the 10mm bolts that bolt down your headlight and the screws that connect your cornerlights. hope this helps
