- I couldn't find a single video showing how this is done so here you go. This particular vehicle is a 2011 Honda CR-Z not CR-V, they could be the same though just not sure.

This video was very helpful. I managed without removing the bumper but this video really helped me visualize the parts that I couldn't see very well from under the hood. For a guy like me, taking off the bumper would have ended with a five broken clips and a crooked front-end.
To anyone looking to do it in a similar way, here are some tips. The connector on the back of the bulb needs a short twist and then can be pulled out in a similar manner to pulling a plug out of an outlet, straight back. It can feel stuck though, and that is when undoing the clips first is useful, however, then you have to pull the bulb out of the connector without having anything holding the bulb in place. Then, unlike in the video, because you don't have as much room to maneuver, put the bulb in the lens housing, put the clips on it , and then plug the connector back on. The second bulb was much easier once I understood that the clip holds the bulb in place, not the connector, that and, the passenger side has much more room to work with.
Thanks guy im glad i could help and thank you for watching
2 years later this comment saved my life!! Thanks so much for taking the time.
You actually do not have to remove the bumper. You unscrew the cap, and the light has a clip that is easy to do without removing the whole bumper.
This was such a big help! I havent had to change the lights in my wife's crz until today and this was such a big help. I would been lost. Thank you so so much!!!
And thank you work watching and commenting. Im so glad i could help.
Thanks for making this I have a 2011 crz and my hid's are on there way out and I ordered new ones but there were no good tutorials until I saw your video! Thanks for the help
Awesome glad i could help
Thanks for the great video helped me a lot to do the repair myself. greetings from switzerland marco
Awesome glad i could help
This was really helpful, thank you! I'm changing my fog lights and other videos neglected to show all the clips at the bottom of the bumper or how to get it out from the headlights (pry up with a screwdriver?). I bought ramps to lift the car but the spoiler is too low to drive up them. Gah... waiting on a friend with a better jack.
Thanks for watching! I found that the ramps from autozone(the plastic ones) work great because of better angle of the ramps and didnt have to remove the bumper to drive up them.
Removing the bumper and headlight doesn't need to be done to replace the bulbs in either the low or the high beam. I have never needed to do this to change the bulbs.
HIDs or halogen
I only have knowledge of the HID
@@southerngearz Both. You can access the bulbs from in the engine bay. You'd only need to remove the bumper if you were replacing the ballast, as its attached under the headlight itself.
@@LordXaero good to know thanks
@@LordXaeroyou should make a video about it
"Nice and tight... ish" 😂 great vid man thx for the help
Haha glad i could help guy
Y is it a rubik's cube to change a friggin lightbulb lol
Haha couldnt have said it better myself
Uh I have done this twice on my 2011 ex you don't have to take the car apart or headlights out just open the hood and remover the hid bulb caps from the rear. Don't touch the glass envelope of the bulbs and you don't remove the spring retainers till after you twist the connector and remove it from the back of the bulb. Your right about not buying from autozone the prices are insane.
Thanks i will have to remember that for if they go out again
you are correct you dont have to remove the bumper but it makes the job waaaaay easier when you do. just not enough space behind the headlights
This is true but to each their own.
I'm going to restore the lens and replace the bulbs/led, so removal is what I needed. Thanks for the video.
@@celesteschuppler2012 glad i could help
Alright alright PW! Here we go!
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. Could you comment what bulb is that please? Are they D4S?
It's a d4s and the best place to get them is ledlightstreet.com they ship fast and are less than $50
390$ oem ...138$ after market parts store
@@christianxzowner2958 its crazy how much the oem is
This is only if you have HID's right? I have the base model which doesn't have HID's so I won't have to remove the bloody bumper correct?
Yea i would think the bumper still has to come off just not enough space.
Nah the bumper doesn't need to come off
you use buld is d2s？
Yes sorry for the delay
Do you know where to find the connector wire ? I got the replace bulbs from your link and it works great however I can’t fix my passenger side because I don’t have the wire that connects the socket to the ballast
Hmmm i dont but I can look and see if I can find it
The only place I found was this

Great tutorial thanks!
Thanks guy!
I didn't know sling blade had a car....lol
If I still smoked......this would've been a good one to mess with my head.
Some call it kaiser blade I just call it a sling blade mmm
@@southerngearz friggin love that show!
@@johngatsby1473 haha heck yea!
hi, i have the same headlight, how to replace the parking light for this?
It is the greyish plug to the left and right. It should just twist unlocked and then just pull it out. Sorry it took so long we are pulling the motor and had to find the headlight to find out.
Good video
Thank you for informative video..
Thank you for watching guy
what type of bulb that you use?

They have been working great since
Thanks for the vid! I’m gonna be replacing both my HIDs soon, but I’m hesitant to take off the entire fender. Is it possible to replace the bulbs without taking off the fender?
There is a viewer who says that it is possible but i had issues getting good access to the hid with the headlight in place. My hands might be bigger or smaller than theirs so it is worth a try.
Southern Gearz Update: I was able to replace both HIDs without having to take off the fender. But man it was a pain in the ass. Those metal clips were the worst part. But yeah, it can be done.
@@PeacefulPagoda haha yea its such a tight space to do what you need to do
IDK how anyone would want to do this without taking off the front bumper. Yes the fasteners from the bumper are a bitch but getting the silver clips to latch the right way on the bulb housing are even more of a bitch, and that was _after_ having pulled the whole assembly out.
Anyways, thanks for the video it helped a lot.
Yes! Exactly those damn silver clips are such a bitch thank you!
Thanks very interesting my left hid just gave up :( hopefully the dealer wont charge me too much, looks complicated..
They probably will. Same situation as you, even with the left side. I went to a Honda dealer for an estimate. They wanted to charge me $383 for one bulb. Not an exaggeration, literally $383.32. For one. So needless to say, I found a two pack on Amazon for like $90. They are expensive bulbs, though.
Yea autozone is just as bad with the price but not that bad haha.
What’s your exhaust set up ?
Not really much of one just yet but I removed the resonator and put in a cherry bomb turbo muffler for the time being until the k series goes in.
Southern Gearz what about your muffler ?
I do have that cherry bomb res
@@Dehego here soon we will probably be cleaning up the exhaust and finding a better looking muffler. I like to use those cherry bomb resonators, the right setup with them sounds great.
i see you taking those bulbs in wrong way
Omg that's bs, to take off the bumper to install some hid bulbs, crazy, no wonder I cant open it metal cap lo beam projection, the hi beam was a twist cap easy.
Haha yea
headlight just died after 6 years yay
That sucks but 6 years of use is nice
Your hands are in the way. Can't see what you are doing
Im sorry thank you for letting me know so i can correct it
