How to modify a burnt out restriction, turn signal, reverse or parking light seedling in a 3rd generation 2007-2011 Honda CR-5.

2011 CR-Five Tail Low-cal
Open Cargo Tail Gate Door
Pry Out Screw Cover This automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to help owners of the third generation (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 & 2011) Honda CR-V in irresolute a burnt out brake, rear plow signal, reverse or parking bulb in the tail light housings.

Owners of other Honda or Acura SUV, minivan or hatchback vehicles such as the Pilot, Insight, CR-Z, Fit, Crosstour, Odyssey, TSX Sport Carriage, RDX and MDX may likewise find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

Replacement bulbs with their part numbers are equally follows: Brake # 7443, Turn Signal # WY21W (likewise 7440A or 7440NA), Reverse Light # 7440 and Parking Light (Rear Side Marker) # 2825 (or 168 or W5W).

Please verify the correct replacement part numbers for your SUV by using the Amazon Role Finder website. The compatible light bulb may vary depending on the model twelvemonth, trim level and whether it is a Northward American or European model.

Update - The possessor of a 2007 CR-V sold in Canada has informed me that the 7440A bulbs do non fit into their rear turn point bulb sockets. The seedling socket may just take the European specification WY21W light bulbs.

The only tools needed to replace any of the tail light bulbs is a standard Phillips head screwdriver and a small plastic automotive pry bar tool or a pocket-size flathead screwdriver.
