The 2014 Honda CR-V typically uses H11 bulbs for the low-beam headlights, 9005 bulbs for the high-beam headlights, and H11 bulbs for the front fog lights where equipped. Some trims or regional variants may differ, so always verify with the manual or by checking the actual bulb in your vehicle.
Headlights: Low beams and high beams
The following list covers the standard halogen headlight bulbs used in most 2014 CR-V models for common lighting functions. Availability can vary by trim level and market, so confirm against your specific vehicle.
- Low-beam headlight bulb: H11
- High-beam headlight bulb: 9005 (also known as HB3)
In most US-spec 2014 CR-Vs, these are the typical bulb types for halogen headlights. If your vehicle has different headlights or a different market configuration, the bulb types may vary. Always cross-check with the owner’s manual or the current bulb’s markings.
How to verify the headlight bulb type
To ensure you buy the correct bulbs, consult the owner's manual segment on lighting, inspect the current bulbs for the base type, or reference Honda’s parts catalog using your VIN. An auto parts store can also look up the exact bulbs by year, make, model, and trim.
Fog lights (if equipped)
The following list applies to CR-Vs that include factory fog lights. Some trims do not have fog lights, so this may not apply to every vehicle.
- Fog light bulb: H11
Note: If your 2014 CR-V does not have fog lights, you won’t need these bulbs. In some regional variants or special packages, fog lights might use a different bulb type (rarely, H16); always confirm via your manual or the bulb socket markings.
Additional notes on trims and variations
Some markets or special editions may present minor deviations from the above, especially for lighting options beyond base halogen headlights. If your CR-V features HID or LED headlights instead of halogen bulbs, the bulb replacement process and part numbers will differ, and you should follow the guidance for those systems.
Practical tips for bulb replacement
When replacing bulbs, handle new bulbs with clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils that can shorten bulb life. Always disconnect the battery or ensure the ignition is off before servicing lighting components, and avoid touching the glass of the bulb itself.
Summary: For a 2014 Honda CR-V with standard halogen headlights, expect H11 for low beams, 9005 for high beams, and H11 for fog lights where equipped. Validate against your specific trim and region by checking the manual or VIN-based parts catalog.
In brief: Check your vehicle’s manual or consult a Honda parts specialist to confirm the exact bulb types for your 2014 CR-V, then replace with the recommended bulbs to maintain optimal visibility and safety.
