After years of restoring my 2010 CRV's (LX) headlights, I would like to replace the entire assembly and start over with new, clear lenses. I've found several YouTube vides and it doesn't look too time consuming. Has anyone done this, and is it do-able in an afternoon? Thanks.

Thanks. It's removing that front bumper and trim that worries me. I bought the tool, but always seem to mess up those clips!

 

I did that replacement for my nephew's 2007 CRV LX AWD. Yes the bumper comes off to access the couple of bolt that hold the head light assembly to the body of the car. It isn't hard and it was done in two hours since we did not know how to do this. Trim tools to take out the exterior body trim panels. Drill to handle the bolts or screws. Just take your time and everything will be fine. Check Youtube for videos. It helps to see what else is needed to be done.

 

Thanks. This is very helpful. I've watched a couple of really good videos, and have the trim removal tools from a previous repair, so I'll go for it. Thanks again!
