Help!!!

I cleared out my headlights 6 months ago, and I've noticed that I have water in my headlight. Can anyone give me a tip on how to take the clips off the bottom of the bumper. I had a horrible time trying to take those off.

How much water? I had some, and the acura manager said that the headlights have drains in them, and as long as there isn't standing water in them, then its ok... for some reason I just think he wants me to spend over a grand getting a new HID system. I havn't cleared my headlights, so I dont know about the clips on the bumper.

Try and pry up the tab in the middle, and then when you have it out a little, then pry out the outer ring of it.

thanks, it would have been nice if they would have used screws instead of the clips.

get a flat-head screw driver then start at the indented egde (one on each side) and slowly pry them out and keep moving back and forth between the two sides to try and wiggle it out. When it is almost out (about 1/2 inch) you can use the scrtewdriver and start with the outer ring...just have patience and you should be ok. I always buy a few when I go to the dealer just in case they break.
