The tail lights on your Honda CR-V help you see where you’re going in poor weather or darkness, and are required by law to work properly. Changing a dim, flickering, or burned out tail light bulb on your 2011-2016 Honda CR-V is a simple repair that can help you see better while driving. It’s recommended that when changing one tail light bulb, the other should be replaced as well, since both bulbs have been used for the same amount of time and will likely fail around the same age. Failing tail light bulbs on your Honda CR-V can make it difficult for other drivers to see your vehicle on the road, and could put you and others in danger. Our detailed instructions can help you perform a headlight bulb replacement on your Honda CR-V to keep you safe on the road.

These step-by-step instructions and video detail how to replace the tail light bulbs on a 2015 CR-V LX, and the replacement steps will be similar to 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2016 Honda CR-V models. Replacing a burned out or failing tail light bulb helps you see clearly, follow road law, and lets other drivers know of your vehicle’s presence on the road. If your Honda’s tail lights are burned out or malfunctioning, you should replace both tail light bulbs together since they will likely fail at around the same time. O’Reilly Auto Parts carries headlight bulbs, tail light bulbs, and other exterior light bulbs for your Honda CR-V to help you make your repairs.

Park on a level surface… and open the tailgate.
The tail light assembly on this vehicle is in two sections, but to change the tail light bulb, you’ll only need
to remove the bottom one.
Use your ratchet and 8mm socket to remove the two bolts securing the lower section of the assembly.
Pull the assembly gently toward the rear of the vehicle to remove it.
Changing the bulb will be easiest if you remove all the bulb sockets from the back of the assembly by
turning each socket counterclockwise.
Then set the assembly aside.
Pull gently on the tail light bulb to remove it from its socket.
Press the new bulb firmly into the socket.
Turn the lights on to make sure it’s functioning properly.
Shut the lights off… and bring the tail light assembly back to where you can reinstall each of the bulbs…
by turning them clockwise to secure them in the assembly.
Carefully slide the assembly back into place… and make sure it’s seated properly.
Secure it by reinstalling the two bolts you removed earlier.
Tail lights should be replaced in pairs, so repeat these steps on the other side.
Close the tailgate.
