I'm in the process and just to make sure theres only one screw you
need to unscrew to remove the lamp, correct? It's on a 98' SE-R
Thanks

Theres 3.

2 on the bumper support up top and 1 on the bottom that bolts to the bumper. Just look they're there.

It's easy. I removed both of mine in under 5 minutes (My bumper was already off though cause I was checking fitment for an intercooler, so it might take you a couple minutes longer =P ).

Where exactly are the screws to remove the head lamps, can someone
post a picture of where the screws are because I'm really confused where
they are -_-.

if you mean move them then I can. I can move them up and down but for
some reason they won't come out. Is it possible to change the bulbs without removing the lights off the car?

fog lights, i'm trying to replace the bulb. Can't I just change them out with
them on the car. Don't I just pull back the cap on the back?

I'm going to try to replace the bulbs while the fogs are on the car. To replace
the old ones do I just pull the plastic off the back of the lamp and then remove
and install the new bulb?

you have to pull out the black plug then theres the bulb holder is screwed into the the main foglight and also its going to be very hard to manuver while behind the bumper and unscrewing the foglight....
its hard to do it while everything is screwed in and its off the car

i would highly advise taking off the fog because it would be much easier and quicker to do

Well the reason why I'm trying to do it on the car is because a screw on
each lamp is stripped and I can't take it off. So that's why I'm trying to replace
the bulb while on the car. Where are the exactly are the screws that you need
to remove to remove the lamp because I can't seem to find them other than
the one in front.

1)the screws to get the fogs off are at the circles
http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u52/dcr1d3r13/Picture017-1.jpg

2)ur going to have to remove the screws from behind that plug
http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u52/dcr1d3r13/funpix030.jpg

3) then these 2 screws need to be removed
http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u52/dcr1d3r13/funpix031.jpg

4)then after those screws are out and everything is apart you have to get this part thats circled out by pushing it in the direction shown
http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u52/dcr1d3r13/funpix032.jpg

hope that helps if you want ill disassemble mine so u can see how its done if those pics dont help
