Changing High and Low Bulbs to Silverstar Ultra
I just changed both headlight bulbs (H11 and 9005) to Silverstar Ultras. Took about 1.5+ hours. The outside bulbs (H11) are quite accessible through the wheel well inner panels per the OM. One screw and one clip and then bend out the panel (very flexible) to get your hand in. The passenger side inside (9005 High Beam) can be accessed per the OM by moving the coolant reservoir. Now the REAL HARD one! The inside drivers side (9005) will require the removal of the battery AND the two screws holding the ECM (I thought that it was the ECM) along with the air diverter (one clip) to gain access to that bulb. My hands are real small and I was able to remove the bulb w/o all of the above drama but it's impossible to re-install w/o removing the items above. The battery removal and replacement is a real PIA, so take your time and remember how the cover and holder comes apart. You'll also need to re-install your radio code, reset all of your radio presets and the clock. BTW, you'll need a small phillips head, a small flat head screwdriver and a 10mm deep well socket (for the battery BS). Have fun....

Can anyone tell me how hard it is to take the Grille off? I got the top cover off (radiator cover) and see how the top of the grille comes off, but there must be some fasteners down near the bottom...
Assuming I need to take the bottom air dam plastic off and reach up to get some lower fasteners? it also looks like some small phillips screws (one on each side) towards the bottom of the grille on the sides.
thanks in advance for any help.

Overkill PDF for what you need but:

Bernardi has PDFs for crosstour stuff. That link will take you to the pdf lists for removing the front clip - which includes removing the grill
It isn't that hard, I had the grill off in ~20 minutes (yes, I replaced the front, rear and side "spoilers")

Awesome, thanks for the info. Sorry for the hijack. Just need to find a grille now because it got smashed by road debris...
you don 't need to remove any bumpers or grill. Access to them is not easy but all steps are laid out in your Owner 's manual and thus too long to explain here and such instructions are better with pics anyway which Honda did well.I bought a set of JDM yellow bulbs for my car, anyone have the slightest clue as to how to change them?
Yes it will take lot of effort so it is better to hire some mechanicfull removal of grille, bumper, and head leds lights...
^the above is inaccurate! You do not need to remove the front bumper to change any lightbulb, that 's nonsense. Please look in your owner 's manual on how to gain access to the left and right head lightbulb, it 's well detailed. (the access is via the inner wheel well and you need to unscrew 3 or so screws, you also need to turn the wheel = see owner's manual).
I don 't mean to shout or disrespect anyone but I cannot stand misinformation and making HID install a thing of great mystery, it 's a lightbulb with a ballist which can be secured with 3M double sided tape. Doing this is no more different that changing a burnt out lightbulb but a with a bit more wiggling and time.

Try to search the installation guide on Youtube.
Indeed, you can change the Daytime Running Lamp/High Beam by reaching down between the battery and fender support on the 2011. Twist left, pullout, disconnect bulb and snap in new bulb, put in, twist right to lock into place.
