How do you change the right headlight on a 1987 Honda Prelude SI?

Answer 1

I just did this job the other day my self and it was my first, it is real easy and takes no longer than an hour. The only tool you will need is a Fillips screw driver (cross, star). First lock your headlights in the "up" position, the button is located to the right of the steering wheel above the defroster. Next you will have to remove the shroud encasing the entire flip light system, there are 4 screws securing it down, one on each side of the light casing and then two longers screws on each side of the light it self. Once the shroud is removed, probably black in color, there are three more smaller screws to remove around the light itself. These screws secure a metal ring (chrome in color) that holds the light in place, this ring is transfered over to the replacement light. There are two black screws located at the bottom center and middle left or right (depending on which light is being removed) of the light, dont touch these screws or you car will explode, Ha ha just joking. These determine the orientation or you light beam, if you loosen or tight these screws your light will be aimed a little off but not a big deal just turn them back. Once the silver oval shapped ring has been removed you can then remove the light. Disconnect the light in the back and transfer the black boot on the back of the old light to the new light, once this is done follow this process in reverse. You will probably drop a few screws behind the light as I did, if they dont find there way to the street you can remove the black shroud below the bumper with the same screw driver with no problems. I cant tell you which head light to buy but anyone at Lordco or Canadian Tire can. Good Luck EG
