Guys,
Has and one taken out and replaced their whole headlight cluster? My ones the plastic has gone sort of hazy and they are a bit scratched. Is it easy or are we talking a professional job?
I have a facelift ep3 Thanks

I've bought a replacement for the same reason. Honda want £130 just to fit it.

Can anybody advise please?

Remove the front bumper, just a load of clips, 4 on the top and 6 round the bottom if I recall, be careful not to break them because they're about £1.50 each from Honda, a bolt each side under the wheel arch which screws up into the wing, then pull it out from the wheel arch side (don't be afraid of it, it needs a fairly hefty yank sometimes) when it unclips you can just pull it away

2 bolts underneath the headlight and one in the engine bay, fairly obvious which ones they are.

OR

Sand down the headlight with wet n dry going finer and finer and then buff up with a machine polisher and they will come out like new

Thanks Omni, it took me around two hours but I'm glad I now know how to do it.

How did you find swapping over the adjustment motor? I took mine out by accident and it still works but when I plug it back in now it does not adjust the headlight anymore!
