Honda CR-V Headlight Replacement
This will be a guide on how to change the headlights in a Honda CRV. It is a fast fix and only requires a beginners level of car knowledge to complete.
Step-by-step instructions
2
- Put on your gloves and open the hood of the car.
- Locate the black plug directly behind your headlight.
3
- After the plug is moved aside, locate the black cover that protects the bulb from any debris. My headlights are over 8 years old so I needed pliers to remove the cover since it was crusted onto the surrounding area.
- Pliers are optional.
- Pull the cover off and set it aside.
4
- Once the cover is off, the bulb will come out right into your hand.
- Be careful not to touch the glass as it needs to stay perfectly clean in order to work properly.
- Replace with a new bulb.
5
- Put your cover back into place to protect the bulb from weathering. Then, put the plug back inside to reconnect your headlights.
6
- When everything is finished it should look similar to this! Once you put the hood down, turn on your car and inspect the lights to make sure that they are functioning properly.
