Default Removing Bumper to install new projectors

Haha I was having trouble removing the bumper on my 95 civic Ex to install the new halo projectors that I just bought. Can anyone provide me with instructions on how to remove it? I tried removing every bolt and screw that I think it's connected but the bumper wouldn't come off.

Thanks,
Sam

there is two screws in the wheel well, you have to look for the little notch around the inside of the bumper. that notch is so a screwdriver can reach the screws. then there is like 5 across the front holding a little thin plate. then two small (10mm i think) bolts underneath. not the ones holding the lip spoiler on though. i think thats all. then you just lift it off. but are you sure you have to remove the bumper for the headlights? i dont know, it just doesnt seem like you would need to.

I'm pretty sure there are 2 bolts you can't reach without taking off the bumper. I could be wrong though.

Yeah, on my first tried, I took one of my stock headlights out...and I squeezed it out with a few scrathes... but I think it's best if the bumper were to be removed...

Saicicons.. I'll try what I can.... and if doesn't work, I can always complain on here...
haha

I just installed mine about a month ago. You DEFFINATELY have to take off the bumper to get to the bolts that hold your stock lights on. Its a pain in the ***. Like someone already said, there 1 screw on the inside of each wheel well, then that thin bracket thats right by where your hood latch is(with 5 bolts) then there is about 5 under that connects your bumper to under yur car. Take your bumper off and allow AT LEAST 1-2 hours to install if this is your 1st time!!! TRUST ME on this one bro!

Just go ahead and take off your bumper, better save than sorry, just dont drop it or let it fall over and scratch the paint like my freinds did with mine. Put a sheet down and lay it on that.
