How do you change a Honda CR-V headlight bulb?

Can you tell me how to change a Honda CR-V headlight bulb? I don’t want to mess anything up, but I also don’t want to take my car in just to get the headlight replaced.

Sure thing! It’s surprisingly simple.
Here’s how to change a
Honda CR-V
 headlight bulb:
  • Open the hood
     of your car and remove the under-hood fuse box on the driver’s side. You should be able to pull it out without too much trouble.
  • Pull the electrical connector for the bulb straight back to remove it.
  • Remove the rubber weather seal by pulling on the tab.
  • Unclip the end of the hold-down wire from its slot.
  • Pivot the end of the wire out of the way, then carefully remove the bulb.
  • Push the tabs of the new bulb into the corresponding slots.
  • Pivot the hold-down wire back into place and clip the end back into the slot.
  • Replace the rubber seal, making sure that one of the three arrows is facing up.
  • Securely connect the bulb to the electrical connector.
  • Replace the fuse box.
  • Turn on your headlights to test your new bulb.
Since you’re taking the time to replace your headlight bulb, why not take an extra minute to save on car insurance? It’s easy when you use the
