Replace driver side lowbeam headlight on a Honda 2005 Civic EX

How do you replace the driver's side low beam headlight on a Honda 2005 Civic EX ? There is no room to get to it and it looks like you have to pull the whole head light assemby out to change the bulb.

I cant find the bottom bolts or fastners to pull out the assembly. There looks like a plastice square nut that could be part of what attaches the lower assembly towards the center inside of the engine compartment. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  1. 1 Locate and remove the power steering reservoir from behind the driver's side headlight assembly. Pull straight upward, sliding it off its mount and set aside for access to the headlight bulb. Make sure you keep it upright so it does not spill.
  2. Step 2 Locate and remove the electrical connector from the back of the bulb. Depress the locking tab to release it and pull the connector down, removing it from the bulb.
  3. Step 3 Turn the bulb counterclockwise ¼-turn then pull the bulb straight out of the headlight assembly. Insert a new bulb into the headlight assembly and turn it ¼-turn clockwise to lock it in place.
  4. Step 4 Install the electrical connector by plugging it into the bottom of the bulb. Push the connector in until the locking tab engages the bulb, securing it to the bulb.
  5. Step 5 Slide the power steering pump reservoir onto its mount.

Check out the bulbs - could be that the low beam filament has burned out - very common since they are used the most. If both filaments a re good check to see if both are on the same fuse and replace it.
