It really is just one screw. Here, I took some pics for ya. yea, my car is dirty and has normal highway paint chips from the front end... unless I move I have to live with it

I have much higher res pics of each one if you really need more detail... but these should show it ok for you.

Here's the screw when it's out. I'm sure you've got that much.

And since I've had mine out and cleaned off the gunk... with just a slight pull straight towards the front of the car... it pops right out.

Yours have probably never been out... and just like a rusted on bolt on the bottom side of your car that's been there holding the apipe to the cat and would probably take an air hammer or welding torch to get off... it's probably fused in there pretty good. Be gentle but forceful...

And just cause I don't wanna goto bed... though I should... but I also like playing with the digi cam and this is a good excuse... heres some more pics of what my old corners look like from the back end. It looks like there's really only one thing that's "holding" it in place besides that one screw. You can see it in the 506s picture upclose. It's a screw but it's bulged out to kinda squeeze into a rubber socket of some sort to help hold it still and steady.

Other than that... the other parts just look like alignment and don't really look like they "snap" into or on or "hold" in any way.

Sorry the pics are kinda blurry... I had the cam set to point`n`shoot and was holding both with my hands and I'm tired and couldn't hold them very still. h: :a:

ok... :sleep: time

It's a total pain in the ass.I cringe every time that I have to do it .I'm glad that the bulbs don't burn-out often.The factory ones seem harder to ge out then the aftermarket ones I don't know if that's because they're new or maybe the fitment is different.Just be CAREFUL and take your time.

Okay,so I went and got my factory corners out of the base ment so I could describe them better to you.Don't be embarassed they totally suck and make everyone who takes them out feel like an ass!!
Where you took the screw out is actually a plastic "arm" which is part of the corner lens.As you're prying the lens out you may have to check and make sure that this "arm" isn't getting hung0up on anything(this happened to me and I didn't realize untill after I had a tantrum and went into the house).
Also there are 2 plastic guides,they just help to line up the corner nothing special.But near the bottom is a metal "tab"(for lack of a better word).This was the bitch for me.Mine had slight corrosion and basically seized into the hole it was in.The "tab" is also sort of "balloon" shaped to help lock it into position,it's a tight fit,obviously this is something that Honda didn't plan on having people replace often.If I had a digital camera I show you pix,maybe someone will be kind enough to show you what the back of the lens looks like.That's about it,I don't know what other advise to give you.
