Default 1989 Accord LXi side marker light replacement

Hello, how do you replace the side marker lights on a '89 Accord LXi? Do the lenses come off? Thanks again

I'm going to assume the ones you are talking about are just outside of the headlight - not in the bumper.

Open the headlights - switch on the dash just to the right of the steering wheel. You can skip these next steps, I use them others do not. Pop the hood. Remove the black plastic trim around the headlight - four (?) screws, two above the headlight and one on each side of the headlight.

From there, there is two screws holding the outer lights, should see two holes giong front to rear - you removed the trim around the headlight to get good access to these holes. Stick your phillips screw driver into each of those and remove the two screws.

Once those screws are out - pull the light straight forward.....there are two plastic pins on the back of the light that you do not want to break....

I can take pics if this doesn't help.

EDIT: found this in the manual....I can still take pics of one of mine if needed.

Yea, just wait until you have to replace the bulb in the turn signal in the bumper

As I said, I remove the trim around the headlight just for ease of getting to those two screws and being able to pull the lens straight forward.

Thanks for the follow up

Did I ever say that I like the 3rd gens.......
