Default 1991 Accord EX-R Lightbulb Problem.

First off, I would like to say how embarassed I am for asking this, but it has sadly come to this point. To replace a headlight bulb in an Accord, I am used to simply turning the bulb either way to unlock it and then simply pull it out. HOWEVER, due to the lack of space between the bulb and the battery and the fact that it won't turn to unlock, I have been unable to get it out!

I need someone with know-how of a 1991 Accord EXR to tell me what is going on!

Thanks,
Sean

You have to unplug the wire connector before you can turn the bulb to remove it.

its a pain. there is a cover that you twist!!! not the bulb!!! it all looks alike but try just grabbing the cover then twisting it. once you twist it the bulb should pull straight out.

sometimes it is really hard to twist those headlite bulb retainers,, get a screwdriver and lightly hit the bottom of ther cover going counter-clockwise,, it has happened to me before a few times , just tap the screwdriver with the palm of your hand
