LED headlights were not standard on all 2017 Honda CR-V models; they were available on higher-trim versions, while the base LX and mid-range EX rode with halogen headlights.
The 2017 CR-V marked Honda’s major redesign for the compact SUV, bringing sharper styling and updated lighting options. While LED daytime running lights were common across the lineup, full LED headlights were reserved for the upper trims in the U.S. market, reflecting a shift toward more premium headlight technology without making it universal across the model line.
Lighting by trim
Here's how the headlight setup generally mapped to trims for the U.S.-spec 2017 CR-V.
- LX: Halogen headlights
- EX: Halogen headlights
- EX-L: LED headlights
- Touring: LED headlights
Market variations and model-year updates can affect exact configurations, so when shopping for a used 2017 CR-V, verify the headlight type on the specific vehicle you’re considering.
Summary
In short, the 2017 Honda CR-V offered LED headlights on its higher-end trims (EX-L and Touring) but used halogen headlights on the base LX and the mid-range EX. Prospective buyers should confirm the headlight type on any particular vehicle, especially in the used market.
