I have a 2001 cl. I'm trying to replace a low beam headlamp. I removed the clip(Spring?) and now have no idea how to put it back in the right position. I'm thinking I shouldn't have removed it? I've looked online for diagrams, but have had no luck at all....... Thanks for any help!!!

 

take a look at your other headlight lol

 

Well.. actually I did that... but when I unscrewed it,
the clip just fell off both... I think I've opened a BIG can of worms here.....

 

LOL that sucks..make sure the plactic piece the the crew screws into isnt broken.. That happened to me on my old civic and I had to get a whole new headlight.

 

Yeah...I fiddled with this one for a WHILE before I got it right when I re-did my headlights.

The trick is all about tension. You gotta HOLD the actual housing closed as tight as you can and then wiggle the metal clamp in. It's really hard to describe on here

goodluck!

 

I hate those clips!
