Each row links to the full specification for that generation, including trim-by-trim breakdowns and the part numbers. Where engines within a generation differ, that page separates them.

Full specifications by generation

The headlight bulbs on a Honda CR-V is set by its generation, not its model year, so each generation has one page carrying the complete figures, part numbers and fitment notes for every year it covers.

Honda CR-V headlight bulbs: common questions

What headlight bulb does a Honda CR-V use?

LED (all trims; sealed projector unit, no user-replaceable bulb) for the low beam and LED (all trims) for the high beam. Trims with factory LED or HID projectors use a sealed assembly instead and are not bulb-serviceable.

Can you put LED bulbs in a Honda CR-V?

Physically, yes, LED replacements exist in every common base. Whether they work well depends on the housing: a reflector housing designed around a halogen filament scatters LED output into oncoming traffic instead of down the road. Projector housings tolerate the swap far better. Some vehicles also flag the lower current draw as a bulb-out fault.
