Great question! Luckily, the hood of your 2015
Honda CR-V
is easy to open, so you can get that headlight bulb replaced in no time at all. Here’s how you do it:
  1. Look for the hood release tab in the driver’s footwell, right between the brake pedal and the door.
  2. Pull the latch towards you to release the hood. You will hear the
    hood pop open
    .
  3. Go to the front of the vehicle and release the hood by pulling up on the latch located above the Honda emblem.
  4. Lift the hood and keep it open using the hood prop, which lies across the front of the engine bay.
Just like that, you’ve gotten under the hood of your CR-V and are ready to change out that busted headlight.
