So much nicer versus stock on many cars even new. Often the factory lighs really only function signal to others your in reverse and provides light that's far inadequate to spot objects, children animals etc.. However there so dim that many times doesn't even get attention.
2017 CRV backup light uses 921 bulb size. Here is a video of the 921 installed in a Civic, but you can see if you like the light ua-cam.com/video/mgR3pGsoYAs/v-deo.html
That was an aftermarket fog set which I installed using the relay harness that came with the kit. I replaced the aftermarket switch with an OEM Honda fog switch which I modified the wiring to work with the aftermarket relay harness. The fog light itself installed into the factory location just like OEM ones. Just like this one: amzn.to/2NInTwq
Hope not there's some oil dilution issues with those. It'll only be worse when more vehicles get some years on them without a fix. Warranty was extended though it's "extremely rare and only in extreme cold". Consider that for most auto manufacturers city driving is extreme by their descriptions of what those conditions are. This also isn't exclusive to Honda but creeping up on gdi vehicles in general.
I will be using these LUYED bulbs for Reverse / Back-up ONLY, (no turn signals etc) on my 2015 Honda CR-V. Do I also need Load Resistors / Equalizers in reverse-only use, or not?
@@dial2fast Super. Thanks much for the prompt reply, and for the great video too! Really appreciate the clarity here. Have you been happy with the durability of these Luyed LEDs? If yes, I will order through your link.
@@dial2fast Also, I see you did not wear gloves when installing these. Are the recommendations to wear gloves (to prevent skin oils transfer which can apparently heat up and burn out the bulb) when handling LED bulbs not true?
@@venessian8579 The clean hand thing is only for halogen light bulb as it's made of glass. LED don't have any glass to blow but you should still have clean hands when replacing any light bulbs.
Sir, I’m trying to install front and rear LED turn signal for a car, which requires 7440 LED type. I’m wondering how many LED load resistor will I need to install since the car supports halogen bulb from factory...
Typically the car's flasher relay is tied to both front and rear turn signal (since front and rear flash at the same rate). Therefore, you should only need to install either 2 load resistors at the front OR 2 at the rear. Usually front have more space for the load resistors.
dial2fast I really appreciate your quick and generous response sir. You are the first UA-camr who actually answered my question. Your videos are really helpful for my DIY projects. Do you have suggestion mounting the load resistor? Im thinking about to zip tie the aluminum load resistor...
The load resistor with the heatsink does get very hot when in use but it's designed to operate at a very high temp on its own. The only reason you want to screw it onto a metal surface on the car is so it won't touch any other plastic parts our wires that might melt it. Also it does help dissipate the heat. If there is no metal surface nearby, then secure it in a place away from other wires. You can zip tie the wiring to secure it.
Dial2fast in Virginia almost all of these LED light swaps headlights, tail, license will fall state inspection because these cheap Chinese lights are not USA DOT approved! I know many viewers don’t have to worry picky state inspectors but if you could review more DOT approved lights. That would save me time & effort to swap out all my lites before inspection to pass & get my sticker. I am so angry I am not putting the cheap LED lights back in. To tell if DOT approved must be stamped on bulb not just fake packaging. Thanks for your reviews
Looks Great
Now it's time to replace the license plate bulbs!
Yes agree
I love swapping all halogen lights to LEDs. Make the vehicle look better so much more light output. Great video.
Replaced front headlights on my 2016 crv works great
Now u have to swap those license plate l bulbs to led to match 👍 great vid
Lasfit makes leds for turn signals with out the hyper flash maybe you can look into those and do the turn signals next with those LEDs!?
Should change d plate bulb to led as well will look better
Yes agree!

Your voice is a mixture of Morgan Freeman, and Jesus.
Lol...I am the Asian Morgan Freeman
How long did they last now that is 4 years later?
What about the rest of those lights turn into leds?
brother plz make more videos on all led lights
Great Video 👍👍
Do they have these led for rear turn signal lights? In yellow
They are compatible for Honda CRV 2005?
2017 crv if u can n keep up the gud work i always like ur videos

Hello, I have a question. How did you install Fog lights in your 2008 Honda Odyssey? Sorry for it being off topic.
That was an aftermarket fog set which I installed using the relay harness that came with the kit. I replaced the aftermarket switch with an OEM Honda fog switch which I modified the wiring to work with the aftermarket relay harness. The fog light itself installed into the factory location just like OEM ones. Just like this one: amzn.to/2NInTwq
dial2fast thank you so much!
This generation crv, does it have the Earth Dreams engine?

no I don't think so, this one looks like a 2015/2016 model, the turbo engines are for 2017+

Don't need load resistors for backup light.
