Request: Removing 09 RA headlights
Anyone know how to completely remove and disassemble 09 RA headlights? All I know is that you have to remove the front bumper which is already outlined. Just need one that shows how to remove the headlights.
(planning on putting in custom angel eyes!)

Jazket is right. Just locate the screws for the lamp housing and it comes right off.
Also, you may want to ask how to actually disassemble the lamp housing and re-assemble. This method is universal for pretty much any modern head lamp. There are many youtube videos and even doing a simple google search will help you.
I know there is an oven (normal house range works) involved and some baking to loosen and re-apply the glue.

Four bolts on the headlight, Two on top, one on the front (centre of car) one on the fender. When baking headlights no more than five minutes at a time and remember to remove all screws and bulbs before you start

replacement
I just want to replace a burned out high beam bulb, how do I get in there? I looked the low beams seem easy enough but I guess I am just blind when it comes to the high beams.
Thanks

^what side?
if it's just that no need to remove your bumper.
read up on the owners manual bro.
i removed one of my headlights w/o even taking my bumper off all the way, but it'd prolly be way easier to remove the bumper completely though.

Do we also need to takeout the front bumper just to replace the bulbs?

for easy access to bulbs on passenger front, just lift up on the coolant reservoir, slips right out with a slight bit of force. for driver front, relay box unclips from the metal bracket on the fender, just look at the side of the box furthest from the engine and you will see a little tab about halfway down between the box and the bracket. push the tab towards the box with a screwdriver and lift up on the box, may take some wiggling, but it'll go. now you have a much more clear shot at the back of the headlamp housings to change the bulbs

^ Thanks bro great tip! i also had to unscrew the washer fluid tab to give more room. The passenger side took me about 5min but the driver side. Oh man. my hands still hurts till now. i cant seem to move those extra wires that was screwed near the light cover. i had to squeeze my hands inside to turn the cover. but i manage to get it done.
I might make a tutorial soon, coz im planing on changing it to LED light.
