Default How to change a headlight on 98 Accord Sedan

I recently rear ended an SUV, and its tailpipe totally destroyed my headlight lens and reflector. I have a replacement OEM part on the way, but I am not totally sure how to do the swap. Do I need to take the bumper off to get to the bottom screws? If so, how do I take the bumper off? I'd appreciate some pointers or a diagram or something. Thanks.

Yea unfortunately you gotta take the bumper off.......i have a 98 and my left headlight was fogging up so i took it off and put silicone around the seams to prevent water getting in..........taking off the bumper is easy few screws on each side of the wheel wall and then there's like 5 screws on the bottom and i think a pair on top after you pop the hood.....after that just take the bolts that are holding the headlight housing and just replace it and do everything backwards
