DIY Help....

(Could not add post to DIY section for some reason or another)

I want to remove the central clusters from my Civic on the front and back, but cant find any advice anywhere on how to do it!!

As far as i know there is no 'Haynes' Workshop Manual??

Can anyone point me in the right direction, or provide me with some sort of guidance on how to do this please??

Thankyou VERY much,

Paul

There are threads on here about both, do a search and they should come up (the front one under changing to a type R grill).

The car needs to be 3 years old for there to be a haynes manual

Cheers for the quick insight. Got some VERY useful info on how to change the front!!

Sorry to be an eejit, but got any ideas how to remove the rear lights that form part of the boot-lid??

I don't know if this is too obvious to state but all you do is...
1) Open the tailgate
2) Look on the inside face of tailgate for access panels to the brake/tail lights clusters (2 long narrow plastic covers)
3) Unclip the access panels
4) Spot the retaining nuts for the central rear light clusters
5) Remove nuts and catch light units as they fall off the tailgate!

Pimps - as we say up here.
