Hi-

I'm trying to chane the driver side headlight on this car. You can't
simply pop out the socket because the air conditioning and something
else (maybe power steering pump) are in the way. So, I'm trying to
remove the headlight to change the bulb. There are two screws
accessible from the top which when removed, do not free the headlight
assembly. How do you change the bulb in this car?

Thanks,
Dino

Pull the power steering pump up off its bracket. It's a slip fit and will
move out of the way enough to get at the bulb, even with the hoses still
attached.

DO NOT REMOVE ANY HEADLAMP MOUNTING BOLTS!!!!! If you remove them you will
disturb your headlamp alignment! If you have already done this, put the
bracket back as closely as possible to where it was before you undid the
bolts.

By the way, if you haven't got your Owner's Manual any more, you can get
one here:
https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/logon.asp
Choose "Owner's Manuals" from the menu at left, then navigate to your
car. (No login is required.)

In your case, information on changing the headlight bulbs is on pages
243 and 244.
