How do you pop the hood on a Honda CR-V?

I bought my car two years ago, and I noticed one of the headlight beams is dimmer than the other. I think it’s time to replace the faulty headlight bulb. I think that part will be easy, but I can’t figure out how to pop the hood! Where is the hood release lever in a Honda CR-V?
