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

    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.

    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

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

    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.

    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.

    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

      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!
