I just swapped my nieces headlights out for LEDs on her 09. This guy is extra about this process. You don't need to take apart anything. Just pop the rubber cap off and replace them. You won't have as much space to work around but it's still totally doable and way worth not talking 20 mins of disassembling the vehicle.

Thanks. With this instruction I replaced the headlights on my daughter's 2010 CRV today. I'm sure her and my grandson are much safer now. Thanks again and Happy 2024!

This was one of the best car repair videos I’ve seen!!! And I realized my car is 90% plastic!

[@jingdongxiao769]

After watching your video twice, I ordered both headlight assemblies and did the installation in an hour. Great instructions.

[@ldelossant]

This is an excellent video explaining all the steps. I just changed my CRV headlights, I am not mechanically inclined. It took me 2 hours going slow. My advice, you should get a new set of bumper fasteners (about 10) because when you are removing the bumper many fasteners are bridle and cracked by time and vibration. Second, spray DW-4 on all the nuts 5 minutes before you try to remove them. Most of them are rusty. I did my work on a flat surface, I don't have a lift, so get a chair and something soft where you are going to place your knees.

[@jtsimaras]

Surprised honda made this so difficult. Thanks for the video

[@UnrealChrisD]

I have to remove the whole goddamn bumper to replace a lightbulb? Good lord Honda, what the actual fuck.

[@jacy123]

This is psychotic. I changed the bulbs in my Toyotas in 8 mins! Even my old stupid Volvo was a breeze.

[@obiwanjacobi76]

Thank you so much for making this video. It only took me 2 hours and zero cussing! I’m handy, but definitely no body guy or mechanic. Fearing a costly body shop bill, I’ve been polishing my originals for years with mixed results. I never even considered DIY replacement until I saw you demonstrate how simple it is. Agree with others it’s a ridiculous process compared to older cars, but I’d do this again.

[@jayupchurch1151]

Well done video - thanks for putting this together. I just replaced my CR-V headlight assembly with no issues.

[@davidfoster7779]

This is the best video for headlight removal I've seen yet on KZbin. Many thanks!

[@JoeGamertsfelder]

I probably saved at least an hour and lots of broken plastic by watching this before I started the project. Nice job!

[@692.7MOTO-FM]

Y’all.. this video describes removing and replacing the entire headlight assembly. You can replace the light bulbs with the assembly in the car. The indicator light is pretty tight to get to, but it’s possible. It’s very easy to do the main headlight/high beam bulb. I did it just now with the assembly in the car. Thanks for the video

[@vinson6337]

Excellent how-to video! Thank you sir. Also, thank you Honda for making this task simple 😂.

[@alanturner1264]

Totally ridiculous....headlights should just pop out with just a couple bolts. Not dismantling the front end of the car.

[@OldCrow3V]

Thanks for the video! Very helpful with my install tonight!

[@koedypaslay4733]

Great video!! Only one thing, always check the function of lights before completing assembly. 😊

[@eastkingstonnh]

Who dreamed that up? Oh yeah, this is about having your dealer do everything.

[@troypolamalupittsburghdynastyf]

Dude forgot to take the engine out.

[@brianjmortensen]

All necessary info, without bs filler content ! Very cool, thanks !

[@marks4471]

I thought I was going to do this myself......LOL! Not any more!

[@clockworkbike]

OK, they're cloudy, I'll live with it or polish it. This is nuts!

[@EngineFuel]

Thank you very much for posting this. I now feel very confident I can do this.

[@Tupapito7140]

Take off this 50th bolt.... And this 200th trim piece. 😅😂

[@Tmonsterism]

There are other videos that show how to just change the bulbs and not the whole housing. You don't have to do all this just to change the bulb.

[@trikyle005]

This is an excellent tutorial. My next project. Thank you 👍

[@zachshoaff392]

Great video! Took me 4 hours with a friends help. Buy extra plastic trim pieces. They will break very easily.

[@water2wine1]

Mine are in great condition on my 2008. So I can just replace the bulbs?

[@picassoimpaler3243]

And they wonder why the dealership service centers are nicknamed stealerships lol. Changed turn signals, and headlights in about 15 minutes without a single screw removed just a couple months ago....

[@collinnyombo3737]

Thank you so much,it was simple and straightforward, I just changed mines today❤👊🙏stay blessed.

[@deemabe719]

Great video.

[@gpister49]

I just replaced the lamps in my F150…..thought I could do the Honda as well until I saw this video….come on Honda

[@woodturnerNZ]

Thanks for the video! Changing the headlights was a lot easier than I expected.

[@uzifromtwitter5257]

Anybody here for a simple build replacement, you don’t have to do all this, or at least I didn’t. You can unplug it, hit that lever spring and fish it out without having to rebuild the entire front end.

[@josephbraun7798]

Really good video

[@Facewest]

Glass headlamps are the best. They last forever as long as they dont get hit by a rock or simular object. The plastic headlamps ruin the look of a car in just a few years because the turn yellow. Plastic headlamps illumination of the road gets worse and worse as time goes bye. Glass head lamps can withstand soap and harmful ammonia from windex without dulling and turning yellow. Windex yellows plastic and makes it brittle. Glass headlamps can be molded in to any shape that plastic can be. Glass is 100% recyclable. The only draw back is glass weighs a little more. I know people that have yellowed plastic headlamps and are afraid to drive at night because of the lack of safe illumination on dark unlit roads at night. Plastic Headlamps and Rubber timing belts should be banned in up coming vehicles.

[@LBSNor1234]

Great video! Thanks!

[@diomedeslopez2708]

Nice job 👍❤️ I like that Way that you explained

[@metalmanipulator7210]

Thank you

[@cthorno2991]

At my local auto store you pay them 20 bucks when buying headlights and they change the globes for you. I'll make sure to show them this video 😅

[@victortran8540]

What was Honda thinking?!!!

[@Smashology64]

The only thing that feels unrealistic is how easily he pops off those bitch clips without issue 😂 I'm at the point where I've just accepted that I'm replacing with new ones because they're so difficult to work with

[@sharon94503]

I miss the good ol days when you could remove 4 screws and pop out the round headlight.

[@stephensimon5013]

This is completely unnecessary to change your bulbs just to let everyone know

[@David-bg3ct]

@Heather Fox Just open the hood and replace them by pulling out the plugs. I just did it

[@isaaclove4716]

I wish the bolts were easier to see in reinstall mode where I am.

[@ferralgf]

2 mins in and its already too many steps for me to feel confident about doing it myself xD everyone has told me its easy but those angles are tight and i dont know where any of those tools are. Sad thing the only men that want to help me dont want to teach me anything they just want to do all the work themselves and not evn give me a chance to try my hand. Was hoping i could use my bare hands to pry some peices off and slap it back on xDD

[@youtubeburr]

This looks unnecessarily complicated

[@reneekimball1314]

Omfg! My hands barely fit to put back in a new light and the front has to be dismantled

[@jmhm17]

I was going to do this but I think I'll just buy a new car now. This is ridiculous....

[@reneekimball1314]

2008 Honda CRV you pop off the fuse box to replace drivers headlight. This is total bull shit.

[@graysenhagin]

I had a 95 wrangler before the Honda I have now. Very disappointed to see the amount of work involved just to change the lightbulb..

[@Barnezyshmarnzy]

@tmonsterism… I thought it was just headlight change not all this bs? Like everything else I’ve read- EVEN THE MANUAL- doesn’t say to remove the bumper… 🤔

[@davekaye1924]

… 99. Disassemble the engine. 100. Remove the headlight. 🤦‍♂️

[@colintorode2936]

This is absurd. Just reach in, twist and remove the cover, switch the bulbs. Done. It's a bit fiddly, but you really don't have to disassemble the entire front end of the car!

[@pedrocoloncruz1843]

Wow I like Chevy

[@HumanShield88]

Honda last longer

[@Flips420]

Whoa. All that is not necessary. Thanks though.

[@David-bg3ct]

Yes. Very strange

[@LBSNor1234]

Older Honda CRV are known for having headlight assemblies that have faded, clouded over and no repair works so the entire assembly must be replaced. He is not taking the assembly apart just to replace the bulbs!

[@montzma45]

S*** I put on learn how to do all that...!!! I can actually work in the shop shop 😅

[@nehuge]

Plastic snap together cars.....ugh

[@BlackArab_]

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@pauleyestone7739]

Honda gets an F- on this f***ed up design.

[@glenmcarroll]

Very though

[@mnrodriguez]

What a horrible design! Never thought of it! NO MORE HONDA FOR ME!!!
