The fog lights on most 2007 Honda CR-V models use an H11 bulb (12V, 55W) for each fog lamp.
This article explains the bulb type, how to confirm it in your specific vehicle, and how to replace it if needed. Fog light bulb configurations can vary by market, so it’s wise to double-check with your owner’s manual or by inspecting the current bulb.
Common bulb type for 2007 CR-V fog lights
For most US-spec 2007 CR-Vs, the fog lamps are equipped with H11 bulbs (12V, 55W) in the standard halogen format. Some regional editions or aftermarket modifications can use different bases such as H8 or H16, so if you’re unsure, verify by checking the existing bulb or consulting the manual.
To ensure you buy the correct replacement, note the bulb base and wattage (H11, 12V, 55W). If your vehicle has HID fogs or a nonstandard setup, the base and wattage may differ.
Below are the steps to verify the bulb type and replace it if needed.
- Identify the fog-light housing location by opening the hood and inspecting the front bumper area where the fog lamps sit.
- Remove the fog-light access panel or cover by turning it counterclockwise or unclipping it, depending on the model.
- Disconnect the electrical connector from the bulb socket.
- Remove the old bulb by turning it counterclockwise or releasing the retaining clip, then pull it out carefully.
- Insert a new H11 bulb (12V, 55W), reconnect the electrical connector, reattach the access cover, and test the lights.
After replacement, test the fog lights to ensure proper operation. Handle bulbs with gloves or a clean cloth to avoid transferring oils to the glass, which can shorten bulb life.
Regional variations and tips
While H11 is standard for many 2007 CR-Vs, some markets or car configurations may use alternative bases. If you purchased a bulb that doesn’t fit, recheck the part number or consult a dealership for the exact specification for your VIN. If you have replaced one fog bulb with LEDs or HID kits, ensure the vehicle’s electrical system supports the modification and that the fixture still fits within the bumper housing.
Summary
For a typical 2007 Honda CR-V, the fog lights use H11 bulbs (12V, 55W). Confirm by inspecting the existing bulb or consulting the owner’s manual, especially if your vehicle is a non-US model or has aftermarket lighting. Replacement is a straightforward process: access the bulb, disconnect the connector, remove the old bulb, install the new H11 bulb, and test the light.
