Default Head light problem...

Uhm..for some reason one of mr corner head lights is about half popped out. I tried smacking it, so maybe it'd snap back in place but it wont. Would someone be willing to let me know the proper way of removing/re installing a head light? I dont know if its just a matter of screws or if i gotta take other stuff out to make way for it.


P.S.-Lemme know if you need pics

If its a fifth gen I'm not sure if you have to take off the front bumper or not.. but on sixth gens you have to remove the front bumper cover and that gives you access to the bottom bolts and you get access to the top bolts from under the hood.. I think its similar on your car

well... your avatar looks kind of like a 5th, (realy small pictures hurt!) but....the parking/signal lights are easily removed.... its 1 screw atached to the head light and thats it.... theres 2 forks that slide into the fender to keep it secure and a plastic flap which the inside of the light slides on to.... the bulb screws out after you pull the cover out..... but i cant quite picture what would "pop" out..... a little more info or a pic would make it quite easy to diagnose

yea sorry for the lack of info:

-1994 Honda Civic DX

-Clear Headlights (obviously,) and im not sure what type, they were on there when i got it.

-After driving for a lil bit the corner light pops out even further but itll go back in a little if i just slap it. (doesnt go in all the way, thats the problem)

- In an overview i could only see one bolt attached to a slab of metal that was attached to the headlight. Im just not sure what to do after i take it out, will it just fall out/in? And i dont wanna risk taking it off and then not being able to put it back on, thats why i came here

-Thanks
