How to Change the Headlight Bulb in a 2005-2006 Honda CRV

This is an easy repair that almost anyone can tackle without a mechanic - and you will save some money in the process.

Instructions

1




Open the hood and disconnect the connector from the back of the headlight assembly by pulling straight out.

2




Remove the round rubber weather seal by pulling on one of the tabs.

3




Unclip the end of the metal hold-down wire (spring clip) and pivot it away from the bulb. This step can be a little tricky because you literally cannot see what you are doing and have to rely your sense of feel - Use a flashlight to get a good look at the hold-down wire before you complete this step.

4

Pull the bulb straight out of the headlight assembly.

5

Install the new bulb in the reverse order of removal. Make sure the rubber weather seal is firmly and completely seated around the entire circumference.
