Glaw Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hi Ive changed all my CRV bulbs to LED, apart from front fogs and front indicators. Now , Im no mechanic but how are you meant to get to the passenger side front indicator bulb. I can see it but there is no way I can get to it but im itching to change these bulbs now. Also I am assuming the bumper may have to come off for front fogs? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hi....welcome to the Forum Have you looked under the wheel arch area to see if there is a hatch to gain access to the rear of the light unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaw Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 I did not know this was possible as Im not that good with these things, I followed youtube to change front side lights and how to remove rear lights to change all those bulb to led and also youtube again for the interior roof/glove box bulbs this one just seems much harder, dont know why they make it so difficult. Ok I shall check, so basically some type of removable cover by the front wheel arch is what im looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyM Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Do you have a copy of the Owners Manual as it will detail in there how to access the bulb. Not sure if it's the same layout under the bonnet as yours but in a 2010 manual it states to gat access you have to "remove the fusebox from its stay by pulling out" If you dont have a manual, I'm sure you can download these from the Honda UK website.

Glaw Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 the 2010 will be the same, I did check the manual but didnt see that section, might be my mistake, ok I shall check it again Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyM Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 If you check the index at the back under "bulb replacement" - thats where I found the comment above. Page 362 on my copy :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaw Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 right so downloaded the UK crv manual its shows driver side is the coolant side which is fine as that can be reached without removing anything cool passenger side UK it is saying remove the fuse box... I dont know how I didnt clock that before , think i was looking at the usa manual LLLOOLL ok so I shall try that later today, seems to suggest pull clip back and lift fuse box.... I shall attempt this whilst sober and report back!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
