Awesome guy that shows you exactly how to replace my headlights on my 2016 honda cr-v. I’m a girl that recently decided to do everything myself. Total independence. He showed the video exactly how to do the headlights. I’m ecstatic with his video. Thank you!!!!!

Great video! No one else showed the detail on how the clip worked, but I'm still having a problem. The bulb I took out had the top connection broken off in it and the connector was damaged. I crimped a new connector on but the low beam doesn't work. High beam does work. Any ideas what I could check? Thanks.

[@VirarAutomotive]

Sorry, I can't think of anything at the top of my head right now.

[@xpj1000]

I'm sure glad I chose your video to look at. I really appreciate that you explain what we should expect to see and how we should expect every part to function for removal and replacement, all while being positive and encouraging. Thank you for your insight. I'll subscribe and check out more of your videos.

Good instruction video, HOWEVER your model years for the CR-V are inaccurate. 2015 and 2016 models are apparently differently setup. I discovered that when trying to change my daughter's 2015 low beam bulb (H11). You MUST first remove wiring -- there is a movable clip you must depress on the lower side that allows you to take it off. THEN, you simply turn the bulb 90° to remove it. It's actually very simple. No need to remove rubber gasket nor any hold down clips.

[@VirarAutomotive]

Thank you for pointing it out to me.

[@DAVIDLITTLETUBE]

[@opnognego5685]

Hi when we remove the rubber cap it’s tugged tight over the end of the bulb, is it ok to just put it over when putting it back?

[@VirarAutomotive]

Ideally no. You should put it back the way it is tight over the bulb. It prevents water and moisture from getting inside the headlight housing.

[@jadedjeff]

my 2015 honda CRV has H11 headlight bulb, and low beam and high beam are separate bulbs. Just as a heads up

[@zml4446]

Why wouldn't I want to touch the bulb with bare skin?

[@VirarAutomotive]

The oil from your skin gets on the glass surface. Then when you turn the bulb on the places where oil is on the glass surface heats up differently than the rest of the glass surface and that causes micro cracks on the glass surface. The inert gases inside the bulb escape through these micro cracks and then the bulb stops working. So basically you want to avoid touching the bulb's glass surface with your bare hands to prevent reducing the lifespan of the bulb. Hope this helps.

[@zml4446]

@@VirarAutomotive Very helpful and informative. Thank you for taking the time to explain to me. 💛

[@bryoncatterall]

This rubber seal seems stuck on my wife's car, what do I do just yank it off?

[@VirarAutomotive]

First try peeling it off from the corners, like from the edges. Its possible if you try to just yank, then it may tear the seal if its stuck somewhere. But yeah its likely just stuck cause of moisture, dirt, grease.

[@bryoncatterall]

@VirarAutomotive yes the edges come off.. but seems stuck from what I can see around the bulb area..
