CR-V Broken Headlights Lens
 
Have a 2005 CR-V with a broken drivers side headlight lens. Does the whole headlight assembly need to be replaced ? How big a job is this ? Thank you

its all located as one unit.. it shouldnt be too hard to do.. from my knowledge there are 2 bolts on top and i think 1 screw in the bottom backside to keep it adjusted

Thanks for the responses. One more question, in looking to pick one up online I see there are UK Built and Japan Built versions. How do I know which to buy ?

there are aftermarket companies that sell headlights like DEPO but the quality is nowhere near as good as OEM or original equipment manufacturer . but oem is very expensive compared to aftermarket so its a trade off you can search ebay for both styles or you can get it directly from a dealer which will cost evan more. i would suggests searching online for oem parts dealers like this http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...DLIGHT+%282%29 . now regarding the installation of the light may require you to remove the front bumper i know this to be true with my civic but its very easy to do its basically a couple clips and screws im certain you can find a DIY online somewhere. also depending on were your from there are versions that may differ from european models and japanese models that would determine what you need to get.

Thank you all. For the record, bought after market...$148 including tax and shipping..that Honda site is $250 plus tax and shipping. Maybe there is a difference, but they look identical to me. As far as installing, the front bumper needed to come off...probably not that big a deal but not something I wanted to get involved with. Local mechanic did for $50
