The 2000 Honda CR-V uses two separate headlight bulbs: low beam 9006 and high beam 9005.
In most US-spec 2000 CR-Vs, the low-beam is a 9006 (HB4) and the high-beam is a 9005 (HB3). Always verify by inspecting the bulb in the housing or consulting the owner's manual in case of variations or prior replacements.
Bulb types for the 2000 CR-V
Here are the standard part numbers used in typical configurations for the US market.
- Low beam: 9006 (HB4)
- High beam: 9005 (HB3)
Note: If your bulbs have different numbers, match the bulb type by physical fit and connector shape rather than the number alone.
Replacement steps
Follow these steps to replace the bulbs safely and correctly.
- Open the hood and locate the headlight assembly on the side you’re servicing.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent short circuits and wear safety gloves.
- Remove the dust cap from the back of the headlight to access the bulb.
- Twist the bulb socket counterclockwise to release, then pull the old bulb straight out.
- Install the new bulb, reseat the socket, replace the dust cap, reconnect the battery, and test the lights.
Always handle bulbs by the base and avoid touching the glass with bare fingers, as oils can shorten bulb life.
Summary: For a typical 2000 Honda CR-V, expect a 9006 low-beam bulb and a 9005 high-beam bulb. Verify the exact configuration for your vehicle and follow proper replacement steps to ensure optimal performance.
