For most 2014 Honda CR-Vs with standard halogen headlights, the low-beam bulbs are H11 and the high-beam bulbs are 9005. Fog lights, if your model has them, typically use H11 or H16 depending on trim.
The 2014 CR-V uses a traditional headlight setup rather than factory HID or LED segments in the main headlamp assembly. Bulb options can vary by trim level and regional market, so it’s best to confirm with your owner’s manual or by inspecting the existing bulb.

How to confirm the correct bulb for your car
Follow these steps to ensure you purchase the right bulb for your exact car and trim level.
- Consult the owner’s manual for the bulb specifications corresponding to your model year and trim.
- Inspect the current bulb by removing the headlight cover and reading the markings on the base.
- Check the bulb socket or any labeling around the headlight housing that might indicate the bulb type.
- If you’re unsure, bring the existing bulb or your vehicle’s VIN to a parts retailer for cross-checking.
Accurate identification helps ensure proper beam pattern and safe visibility on the road.
Safety and installation tips
Replacing headlight bulbs requires care to avoid damaging the wiring or the headlight assembly, and to ensure proper alignment.
- Wear gloves or a clean cloth to prevent oils from weakening halogen bulbs.
- Disconnect the battery before working on headlights to avoid short circuits.
- Handle bulbs by the base; avoid touching the glass.
- Test both low and high beams after replacement and verify the headlight aim is correct.
If you’re unsure about installing HID/LED upgrades or headlight alignment, seek professional assistance.
Summary
For many 2014 Honda CR-V models, the standard halogen headlight setup uses H11 for low beams and 9005 for high beams, with fog light bulbs (often H11 or H16) varying by trim. Always confirm with the owner's manual or by checking the existing bulb to ensure compatibility, and follow safe installation practices.
Notes on variations
Bulb configurations can differ by region and trim level, so if you’re purchasing bulbs for a specific market or a non-standard trim, verify before buying.
