Mods to make better than factory or Mods for your unique region / driving conditions?
For my wife's 2014 CRV, I did 2 mod areas (due to weak factory build).
re:
- Front lighting improvement:
- Replaced its front H4 Halogen main light bulbs with H4 LED bulbs.
- Replaced its front H11 halogen FOG light bulbs with H11 LED bulbs.
- Wired its front fogs to be on (or off) with its front High Beams.
- If needed, buy/install Fog Light Assemblies and use simple wiring install (to enable them).

- Raised its factory "old age" sagged suspension via low cost lift kit using simple spacer blocks (that go above struts / coil springs). I used 20 mm blocks in front and rear. Next time, I would install 20 mm on the front and 30 mm on its rear. If good with a wrench, this is a very simple "on the driveway" DIY upgrade. For more details, surf Amazon / Ebay and search for: "Lift kit increasing ground clearance HONDA CR-V 2007-2017". If wondering, 20 mm = 1.25" height increase due to its A-Arm geometry support points.
Notes:
This work for my wife's 2014 CRV. If liked, these same mods can be applied to your new 2016 CRV as well.

Notes:
- Get a professional 4 x wheel alignment after lift kit install as well. This will save expensive tire wear.
- I recommend this upgrade for all deep snow regions / like my north region. Not needed for no snow depth winter regions.
