My wife had a 90 accord, bought it new. One day her headlight caught a 
rock.  No can do yourself unless you take off body panels, and a lot of 
engine bay bits. Finally gave up (Wasnt going to spend all weekend on 
it) and brought it to the dealer. It was over $1000 to replace it. The 
car promptly got a FOR SALE sign attached to it. If I cant replace a 
consumable myself, it goes. Im not convinced they are well engineered cars.
