    Thank you. My passenger lights were blown, and I was driving with one light on and was so scared I'd be in trouble for it. Unfortunately, my husband went on a trip, and I had no help. So I searched for the correct bulb and found your video online the following morning. It was beneficial, and I've saved some money for a mechanic. Confidence restored.

    I just changed my driver's side headlight bulb on my 'O9 CR-V and I wished I watched this video first before attempting it. I struggled for about a half hour cursing because there was no room to work on the driver's side with the fuse block and I didn't know what I was getting myself into. I'm sure I've replaced both of the bulbs in the past and I don't remember struggling quite so mightily as I did today. I remember about 6 or 7 years ago both bulbs died within a day of each other and I changed out both of them. What must have happened is that the passenger side must have went first which is a much easier replacement. Then when the driver's side died the following day, I at least knew the sequence of steps needed to replace it. Well today I completely forgot all of the necessary steps and figured it all out by trial and error. However, that fuse block on the driver's side is so close, there's practically no room to work. Oh well, this time I'm storing it in the memory bank and saving this video for when I need to do this again. Thanks for the video.

    • @mitchcox
      @mitchcox  2 роки тому

      Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes. The drivers side is very tight. Doing the passengers side first gives you a little more room to understand what you need to do. Thanks for saving my video. Please subscribe to my channel. I have several videos on the CR-V that may be helpful in the future. Take care.

    Mine burnt out on the driver side. It was a little more tight but if you take your time and follow this video it is very manageable.
    Great video!

  • @jackcolyer9718
    @jackcolyer9718 7 років тому +16

    This video was spot on for my 2013 CRV. Great suggestion re 1) doing both at the same time--they are generally sold in pairs in fact; and 2) starting with the passenger side, which is easier to access and see what's going on. Two suggestions. First, take a look on Amazon for the lamps. They were about half of the price of the ones I bought at NAPA ($25 vs $50). Second, I held a headlamp near the opening so I could see what was going on better. I was nervous about getting the clip off from watching the video. It turned out to be a piece of cake. I changed each in less than two minutes each. Thx for the great video!

    Great video. Just a note on the changing the passenger side... Very little room to work with as has been pointed out. I struggled mightily getting the clip to lock back in once the new bulb was in place. Ultimately, I was able to get it done using a pair of needle nose pliers (instead of my fingers) to hold the clip and push in and then down to lock it in. I think the longer/thinner needle nose pliers the better. My suggestion to all is have them ready before you even start.

    Thank you! I was able to replace my 2013 Honda CRV's headlight bulbs after watching this video. One of my weather seals is missing and that must be why one of my headlights has condensation in it. A previous mechanic must have lost the weatherseal and not bothered to say anything. Thank you so much for this helpful video.

    I have to drive an hour each way every other weekend on a dark highway to do drop off/pick up for my kiddos. I've been putting off changing my headlights for 2 winters now. They work, but they're crap and I find myself driving with my brights on the entire drive and my lights still aren't half as bright as newer headlights 🥲 My dad bought me some and I'll be getting them when I pick my kids up this evening. Debating on changing them right there at the gas station, or just suffering through one more trip of driving blindly in the winter 🤦‍♀️ Anyways...I REALLY appreciate the video. I'll be doing it myself and it makes it a lot less intimidating to see the steps involved and also to know what tools I may need. Thank you a million. You're appreciated!

    Very useful! Using it for the second time.
    Just one comment re the use of glove - while you surly don't want to touch the glass part of the bulb with bare fingers to avoid transferring oil onto it, you should avoid doing the same with a dirty glove, as some of the dirt is likely oily as well.
    Best advice is to simply avoid touching the glass part of the bulb.

    • @mitchcox
      @mitchcox  3 роки тому

      Thanks for watching and commenting. if you use new rubber gloves, you shouldnt have any oil on them unless you touch your face or other hand, etc.. You will definitely have less chance of getting the bulb dirty by using gloves. But you are right, best advice is to not touch the bulb. Sometimes its hard to avoid. So its always good to wear gloves if you have them. Please subscribe. Thank you and take care!!

    Thank you very much for the video. The first time I tried to change the head light, I took off the whole clip (mistake) And could not get it back on. 3 hours later with a friend also trying to help we could not get it back in. It took a garage mechanic, took him about 30 minutes to figure it out. Now I know, to just unclip it and swing the clip aside like a door.... I just replaced another bulb in 5 minutes. Thank you!!!!

    Thank you for your video. It helped me a lot. Changing the driver side bulb on an 07 CRV is a huge pain in the ass. I found that using long nose pliers helped to remove that rubber gasket. I could grab the tabs better. Also, that little wire hooks under that tab as well. I had a hard time seeing it.

    Replaced bulbs about 3 years ago... Original bulbs lasted 11 years, but not my replacements. Go figure! Had to return to YT and refresh my memory for installation. Process had taken me almost 10 mins to complete. Took a few to get the bulbs to sit in their housing properly, and then clip them back in. Fun trying to do a project whilst not looking at it directly.
    Because I think my bulbs weren't very good for the replacement, adding a comment here to recheck time frame for next replacement.

    • @mitchcox

      Thanks for coming back to my video. I am glad it helped you out then and again recently. Some higher quality bulbs will last longer than others. Also be careful not to touch the glass part with your hands. The oil from your fingers can cause the bulbs to fail quicker. Please subscribe and favorite my video so you can find it easily next time you need it. Take care.

    Thanks, I can never remember where that clip goes. My future son-in-law changed thebulb. It worked a bout 2 weeks ago and quit. I found a small piece of metal loose inside the bulb. I replaced it and it works great. I have always been an American car guy but I have to say that a lot of things still work on the Honda with 183,000 miles. That to me is remarkable. Except for the side ways engine in the Honda Odyssey. That's a booger to work on. thanks, george

    Good job Mitch. Two things to make it better:
    - Use a tripod if at all possible or if that won't work in the confined space, support the camera with a bean bag, a towel or anything that will sit steady on a surface while cradling the camera. Unless you are experienced in hand-holding, your body is your enemy.
    - Use a camera that has a lens with a MACRO adjustment. There is no way you can get in focus while close in without either a very wide lens with a lot of depth of field or better, a lens with a macro adjustment that enables you to be in focus as close as an inch or two.

    Bulb is the 9003 and can be found everywhere including Wally World for $20 a pair for the upgrades, $50 a pair for the high-end model. Do replace them in pairs so they will match. Be aware that the fancy hi-output bulbs will not last as long as the originals, sometimes only a year. Check Google to find the ones that match your needs and budget. This is a 5 minute per bulb fix, and so easy your wife could do it.

    Hey Mitch, thanks so much for posting this! I changed the bulb on the DRIVER side. What a pain, you can't really see what you're doing because of the fuse box. I did move it a little out of the way and also moved the bracket holding it partly out of the way by removing one bolt. I pretty much did it by feel, since there really wasn't a way to see. The young man at Auto Zone sold me two bulbs and told me the other bulb would be going soon. Did I get taken?

    • @mitchcox
      @mitchcox  8 років тому +1

      No. Generally when one goes out the other isn't too far behind it. So it's not a bad idea to change them both at the same time. Thanks for watching and commenting. Glad my video helped you out.
