Remove the steering wheel first by popping out the H with a small screw
driver and then remove the retaining nut.

Obviously, your Headlight Fluid is of the wrong viscosity for winter.
You need a winter grade headlight fluid this time of year, unless you are in
Florida.

You are way off. Honda started using multi-grade, synthetic headlight
fluid decades ago. However, there was a recall for some models where the
factory filled with regular incandescent fluid instead of the required
halogen fluid.
