swap headlights

sorry if this is a dumb question
like most cars I work on before, I have to remove the front bumper in order to remove the headlights.
is GE8 the same way?

is there a DIY somewhere?

GE8 is the same way. 3 or 4 clips along the bottom. 4 screws in the corners. 2 Screws in the wheel wells. The clips on the radiator cover need to come out and the grill too if I remember correctly. From there its just pulling and popping the tabs under the headlights out. Better done with two people for sure.

There is a DIY. A trick w/ this forum is to actually google search your topic then put fitfreak after your search terms. The search bar here sucks.

There was another one that was really good, but I'm having trouble finding it on this blog. Here it is on another blog: http://www.diymyhonda.com/fit/headlight-painting/

True, but it's hard to get to those screws w/o removing the bumper.
