Default Replacing RT Front Side Marker Lamp Bulb

On my 1990 Civic DX the right ( passenger ) front side marker lamp (not turn signal) bulb is out. I can't find a way to access the bulb socket from inside or outside to replace the bulb. Any hints anyone?

Take out the screws, pull the corner light assembly forward away from the car, twist and remove sockets from the back, pull bulb straight out of the socket. Type 194 bulb.

Beautiful. I'll do it tomorrow. I found 1 screw at the front top of the assembly, but I could not locate another one. Where is that second screw?

yeah, could you let me know how to find the other screws? Do I have to remove the headlight or battery or something?

thanks, LR

There is only the one screw. Gotta pull the unit, up and out at the same time.

Sorry for not getting back sooner. I was wrong there's only one screw, at the top between the corner light and the headlight. The light has pins that slide into slots on the car, so like Punisher said it needs to be puled out in a particular direction after removing the screw.

OK, so you guys are putting on a newbie % ) or It's a real bitch to get wiggling. I pulled the one screw and it's still out. The lens assembly in the front is held in and covered by the headlight assembly. In the back it is obstructed by the AI box. The side marker lamp lens won't wiggle loose or push forward or backward . It doesn't feel good. It's obviously still fastened in, ya know? :-)

if your talking about the corner light, like mk said there is one screw in the top corner when you open the hood, thats the only screw holding it in, after screw is removed then just pull the lens forward it has tabs it sits in on the back side so can be a little pita to remove, just pull a little it will come out.

Wow, did I feel silly when I found the trick of a little straight screwdriver between the trailing edge of the assembly and the fender... slid out effortlessly. Thanks for sticking with me.
