The shield is detachable from the bulb so you can install the shield plate first then clip on the assembly,then dust cover so no water gets in. Last is the bulb ! The dust cover will not prevent the fan to get proper air circulation ! Hope that helped anyone !
You need to install the rubber dust cover to keep moisture out. If it ever rains you’ll notice major condensation build up inside of the housing. I’ve dealt with a lot of HID setups before and the rubber covers are always a pain to work around but much needed. Will need to modify them to seal against the bulb. There’s a reason cars without the rubber dust cover use bulbs that have gaskets
You can Twist Off the Shiny Silver, Three-Pronged peice from the HeadLamp, then fit it into the HeadLight Housing, then put the Clip back on, then the Rubber Gasket, then Insert the Lamp/Bulb into the Housing and Plug it in. Also, you can Rotate the Lamp/Bulb while it is In the HeadLight Housing to Adjust the Direction of the Light. Just some friendly tips. Hope they help.
I did the exact same thing on my '08 CRV. It took me about 5 minutes on each side. I struggled a little bit on the driver side since I did not have a lot room and the led bulb was big and long. Anyways, it is so far so good. The rubber gaskets have not melted yet.
Are you talking about the rubber gasket that he said he couldn't used? Would that depend on the size of the LED butt? I am worry about the rubber gasket melting too. How much driving do you do in term of single non-stop trip?
@@johnnyappleseed8742 it has been a few weeks since I installed the LED bulbs with the rubber gaskets on. It is fine. It is not a good idea not to have the gaskets. The water will get in the light fixtures. There will be moisture condensation.
Great video. I just did this to my 2009 CRV. I cut out the center of the rubber grommets and they are fine. Getting the grommet in place on the driver's side was difficult, but doable. I rotated the silver bezel so I could put the wire side down. I don't know why you'd want it facing up.
If anyone can remember their install, I feel like I can't get the bulb securely in. I put the metal ring in first, put my bulb through the rubber gasket as far as I could, then put the bulb into the headlamp. Since I needed to twist the metal ring to take it off the bulb, I assume I need to twist to secure it back on, but the rubber gasket seems to make it really hard to do that. Or I just can't get enough leverage to push in and twist. I'm worried that as soon as I start driving and go over a bump, the lights will dislodge a bit and shine every which way. Thoughts>
You need to slide off the backing plate off the LED and then slide the OEM rubber seal onto the LED. Do not cut a hole in the rubber seal and do not use the LED's without a rubber seal. Your headlight assembly will oxidize. if the LED design does not allow for the backing plate to slide off then order an LED that comes with a rubber seal or and LED that fits the OEM.
Since you can't reinstall the rubber weather seal with the new bulb, the inside of the headlamp assembly is wide open to water and debris. This is not a good solution.
Other videos of other LED kits you can separate the heatsink/ballast assembly from the front bulb, then install the rubber seal, then re-attach the back half.
sorry but that is not a 2012 crv as you stated, has to be at least 2013 from headlight design. so is this really your car that you dont know the model or a sales promo for installing these brand of LED?
I have the exact same bulbs and because they're dual sided it shines right on the high beam segment of the headlight whilst on low beam... any idea on how to stop that?
+Aaron Hi. Does it happen with both LED bulbs? If you put the old halogen bulb back does high beam low beam work fine? If old bulb works fine, then I believe you the new bulb is bad and it should be replaced. But if even putting the old bulb back doesn't work fine, then it could be a problem with the relay.
yeah, the old halogen bulb works perfectly. only shines high on high beam, the curved covers look like they aren't really doing anything. I've been stopped by police as it looks like high beam is on and they are too dazzling. Ive realligned them, but even with the focused beam positioned as low as fog lights, still shining too high... Ill contact the seller and see what they have to say.
some kits you can twist the bulb the beam pattern sucks for these so they make the adjustable. remember they have the 180 deg limitation and its not even that much to be honest.
That bulb will fit with the rubber gasket just place the bulb through and pull the gasket inside out to get the clip installed properly then just pull gasket back in place just put a set of h4 on my Tacoma and it worked great. If this isn’t done you’ll have moisture all in your headlight not to mention electrical and water don’t mix well.
Look at the design of this bulb. It is much better and purposefully built than the cheap ones. On the cheap ones you just see some LEDs mounted. This kit actually has some metal parts blocking where the light can go.
I think I need to get another brand of LED bulbs. I have the 360° bulbs from Stark on Amazon. It features a triangle shape which I thought was going to be a good thing. Output is only great at 5 ft. After that..it's nothing but eye strain lol
The rubber dust and moisture boot goes on right before you install the LED bulb. You're gonna have problems if you don't put the rubber dust and moisture boot back on.
What can I use on my, because I have a DRL dashboard light blinking when running but when I turn the switch to on position the dashboard light will turn off!
What I don't like it the fact that the mounting ring is not removable from the bulb socket. On other models I have (in my motorcycles, which use the same bulb) so I am not able to mount the rubber seal back behind the bulbs. I got moisture inside the headlight after going thru the car wash. I evaporated from the heat of the bulb, but I still have to make some kind of water tight seal behind the bulb, in front of the fan so it can still keep the bulb cool.
+wrathcc Daytime running lights uses the same bulb. No change needed for my car. No issues, no flickering. If you have a European car, you may need to spend $12 for a relay harness if your lights flicker.
Thanks for showing them at night and how much difference their is, I just nought a 2010 and low beams are DULL, kick on high beams and they look like LEDs but just one bulb, don't make sense but they came like that, so I'm looking to replace them since their dull, just can't use DRL wit most of them, that's sad and they should make them for DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS, their on for a reason, for people to see you all the time now. They charge enough on them so make them cool to run them on DRL and last many hours like dome day, 50,000 hours some at 30,000 hours. Either way thanks for great display.
The rubber boot SHOULD be refitted. Over time, moisture and dust entering the headlight will coat the reflector surface and lens greatly reducing light efficiency. The rubber boot will not cause the bulb to over-heat. The correct installation procedure involves sliding the 3-pronged mounting plate off the LED lamp and securing it in position on the headlight with the spring clip - easier as you then don't have to work it around the ballast / heat sink / fan. Then, refit the rubber boot. Then, insert the LED assembly and plug it in.
Remove the mounting plate from the LED bulb? Most better bulbs have a rotating mounting plate so that after installation, the bulb can be rotated through 90* or more to assist in setting the the correct cut off line to reduce glare to on-coming traffic. The plate may only slide off the lamp when in a certain position in the rotation. Check that it isn't secured with a small screw and close observation will probably give a clue as to the "slide off" position.
Got it...thank you! Yes that was a bit of a bugger but def need that rubber boot. We installed but it looks like we missed a few steps so we are going to try again later today. Thank You for your post and your reply!!
hi sir, when you install the LED to Honda car, did you use the CANBUS decoder? i recently just purchase 1 set without the CANBUS decoder to my Honda Mobilio, but after less than a minute the bulb will shut off itself. Dunno if the bulb is malfunction or need the CANBUS decoder to solve my problem.
I would cut out the rubber seal so it can fit that bulb, don’t just throw it out. You can always get these rubber seals at your local auto shop if you another pair
I am ok with staying with the standard bulb in my 2014 CRV but does anyone know if there is a way to keep the fog lights ON when switching on the bright lights? Seems like there is just no light up in front of the car, just way out there.
I installed LEDs similar to these in my 2001 CR-V...brand new headlights as well. I do have moisture buildup in one of the headlamps, so I am not sure if it's the headlamp itself or just because there's a decent amount of opening in the rear of where the rubber piece would have gone.
Octavio Guzman how do the bulbs you got work,(brand?), and sometimes ya gotta much about to get the rubber to seal. Though if they're after market they might not be sealed properly. Have run into that problem.
When I installed these on my 2014 CRV. The lights were on all the time, even if i switched to OFF. Also lost the ability for the sensor on the dash that automatically turns the lights on and off based on outside light. aka the AUTO function. Did you experience the same issues?
I have not experienced the issue you described. You can try putting the old bulb back to see if the behavior is the same. If it is, your what you said about dash light sensor would be the next focus.
@@AwkwardHamster Thanks for the reply. I installed the original bulbs back in all works normal. Weird leds wouldnt turn off always on. If you leave your lights to auto, do the leds come on when dark?
Now that I think about it, it could be the Day time running lights. My light is on but since it is daytime I can’t tell if it is on at the same intensity as night time.
+Ray Supra It doesn't need it. And I don't think you should use it because it would be pressed against the heat sink. Thus restricting airflow. LED has shorter lifespan if they overheat.
I'm thinking upgrading my headlights the same as you. Have you had any problems with them? Also those led headlights, Do they have daytime running lights, normal and high beams in those leds?
Do you don’t live somewhere that it rains or snow a lot ?? Beecause without this rubber boots installed back on your headlight housings they are going to get full of condensation and water. That’s the whole reason to have those rubber boots on all headlights..
Thanks for this. I watched this after replacing my 2012's driver side bulb. Took a while to get the clip in, your detailed view is what I wanted to see for future reference. I took a snapshot of the part the clip hooks onto since I couldn't really see it on mine.
As a CRV owner I am looking at the OPT 7 flux beam led bulbs. Either way this is a great comparison against the stock Halogen. Do your DRL's still work with the LED bulbs? Thanks
Does anyone know if the bulbs should be installed with the wire up OR, where the actual LED's are concerned, should they be pointing up/down or side/side? Thanks!
+Tery Biglin Hi. The model I showed here doesn't allow me to rotate the butt. Other models I showed in other review videos allowed the adjusting of the but, thus adjusting the wire. The idea is to adjust the beam to how you need it. Wide, focused, etc. I would recommend shining it at a wall or garage door at night and adjust it so you see the cut off and beam is where you want it.
Amazon sells an after market rubber boot that fits over the heat sink fan, so you're able to keep the bulb sealed and still have the cooling fan doing its job. The boots are only $9.99.
It still works well. I’m glad I got this one for a few reasons. No flickering. I guess DRL is fine since it’s not that bright in the day and no flickering either. I am glad I didn’t get the brightest LED. It’s doesn’t blind on coming traffic.
Excellent video...thank you very much for posting! I am installing these in my Nephew's car this weekend. Did the wife's last night & took me about 10 minutes. So far I am very impressed with this product. Thanks again!
Hey Mr. Hamster one quick question for you and that's the bulb placement. Should the bulbs be installed with the wire up? As far as the actual LED's are concerned, should they be pointing up/down or side/side?
I know this is an older video but I have the same vehicle and want to change over to LED from the stock halogens. My question is can these LED replacements be had at a lower kelvin rating? The one you replaced looks 5500-6000k-ish. I want the efficiency of LED but also want the K rating to be more natural say 4500k-ish.
Hello. Yes, I've seen various types including those that are around 4000K. But, I don't think those are as popular considering that's the same K as halogen headlight bulbs and the halogen bulbs cost about $20 a pair (fraction of the LED bulbs). The 5500-6000K LED bulbs are more popular because it gives a xenon headlight look without having to install a conversion kit.
thanks for the reply OP! I am also a flashlight collector and am more than familiar with the LED chips they use. It would be a benefit to your subscribers as to which LED chips the LED unit is using such as Cree XHP35, XHP50,XHP70. Not to familiar with the offerings from Phillips as Cree has dominated the high output flashlight market for years now. Luxeon is still around they make some good chips but as far as I know there are no Luxeons that are that high output. As for the lower K being lower output vs cool white the difference in output between them when it comes to flashlights is roughly 7% give or take. I love the fanless upgrades and truly hope I can find some LED upgrade units with Cree chips that are fanless and fit my 2004 CRV. I prefer lower k tints but if that is not available I will go with the white.
I currently have Sylvania Xtreme Vision bulbs in the CRV which made a surprisingly good difference. Oh well was just hoping mothers (she is 80)CRV had supplies out there to make her low beams a good bit brighter. Now I am stuck with a money pit 1996 Mercedes e320 that has the dullest most UV damaged headlights I have ever seen. I put good fresh correct bulbs throughout the entire car which really helped in the rear but even with my brights on my standard new bulbs look like low powered yellow fog lights. They are so dim now I am to afraid to drive it at night....
the right side headlight housing is new and very clean, nice almost with a jewel like shine to it. The passenger side headlight housing has corroded(?)and shows UV damage it has yellowed and just started to show small cracking in whatever Honda coats their headlights housings in. I have tried the UV damaged and worn cleaning and polishing methods on my 1996 Mercedes e320 the housings on that are horrendous. They were crystal clear for like 3 days. After having done more research I have decided on Xenon HID systems for both vehicles at 6000k. There are so darn many to choose from I am pretty lost. I thought the Sylvania Xtreme Vision halogens I put in her CRV were impressive they look like run of the mill halogens compared to my friends late 90's Honda with an 8000k Xenon HID system. He got them off ebay and they are no name HID's that cost him less than $45 altogether. 8000k is to blue for me and ma but now at least I know it can be done cheap and is actually pretty easy to install. Somehow my friends no name HID system has run perfectly for a year and a half lol
+christian reyes hi, i have Honda Crv 2012, and my DRL works when i turn on my car. Did you tried these bulbs? Do they work with DRL without flickering? Thanks
Not this one but I have reviewed some that do in the past. What I like about lasfit is they don’t try to advertise as being the brightest bulb. They took the time to explain why some of their bulbs are better suited for my vehicles make and model.
@@AwkwardHamster my brother got this and he told me to get a pair I just dont want to blind people. Got a 11 crv might retrofit morimotos in them not sure yet
5:06 The little clip thing or paper clip looking thing (whatever you wanna call it) wont go over my LED. I dont want to try to force incase I break it.
my new led headlights stay on along with the DRL while the" car is running", When i turn on the headlight switch the only thing that happens is the DRL's turn off, This cant be normal, You think they may be defective ?

First, modify the seal instead of losing it. Second, use dialectic grease on the plugs/ connections
Awesome video, thanks AH. The bulbs design looks so cool, love it. Does it make fan noise?
yes, there is a low humming noise coming from the fan
No seal is a deal breaker. Bugs moisture and dust inside the headlights is a pain to remedy

For real… I can’t believe he actually said not to use the rubber seal
My 2012 crv uses the headlight as a running light so led’s don’t work.
Actually u can put back that rubber gsket but u must cut little bit coz the led fan is too big😊
Cut a bigger circle down the middle of seal?
Since you can't reinstall the rubber weather seal with the new bulb, the inside of the headlamp assembly is wide open to water and debris. This is not a good solution.
Other videos of other LED kits you can separate the heatsink/ballast assembly from the front bulb, then install the rubber seal, then re-attach the back half.
I thought you trust the l.e.d. Bulb to disattach the ballast so you can put the boot on?

1) seperate the adapter base and LED bulb 2) Fix the adapter base to original bracket.
I would cut out the rubber seal so it can fit that bulb, don’t just throw it out. You can always get these rubber seals at your local auto shop if you another pair

Hi. The model I showed here doesn't allow me to rotate the butt. Other models I showed in other review videos allowed the adjusting of the but, thus adjusting the wire. The idea is to adjust the beam to how you need it. Wide, focused, etc.
I would recommend shining it at a wall or garage door at night and adjust it so you see the cut off and beam is where you want it.
Got it...thanks!!
Amazon sells an after market rubber boot that fits over the heat sink fan, so you're able to keep the bulb sealed and still have the cooling fan doing its job. The boots are only $9.99.
Painter D what's the name of it?
They are from Tomall. Retractable rubber boots for LED headlight bulbs. I got them off Amazon.
Which Honda CRV is this for? 4th gen?
It’s from 2012.
@@AwkwardHamster thanks the reply! How is it lasting since? No flickering or lower dim? Does it affect the DRL aswell?
It still works well. I’m glad I got this one for a few reasons. No flickering. I guess DRL is fine since it’s not that bright in the day and no flickering either. I am glad I didn’t get the brightest LED. It’s doesn’t blind on coming traffic.
This was so helpful! Convinced me I could do this on my 2011 CR-V and it was even easier than I expected. Thank you!
cool
can you do same bulb on prius video , i cant figure it out.
У меня похожие лед они загораются с задержкой
The cover that goes over the bulb the rubber pice u dont put that back on ?
I don’t put it back. After all this time no debris has gotten in there.
hey guy,we'll send you our product for free,could you make a product video for us?
YingJun Luo i can make a video if i get it for free 2013 honda crv
You don't install the shield? Are you not worried water from rain or dust coming into inside the headlight?
+bramantya anindhita
Not worried about it. Been driving with it off for some time now and havent see any buildup
Thanks for this video. For 2011 CRV, is the process exactly the same?
I would think so.
Thanks for this video. It helped me to install headlight.
Cool
Clean and clarity through out the video. Didn't cut anything out. I love it. You saved my life at night and saved time. A huge thank you.

Thanks
How about the rubber seal..?? We cant use that already???
I kept the seal off. Some views say its needed to keep out moisture or debris. After all these years I haven't had an issue with it off.
Is that the fan running on the background?
That’s pretty loud...
Fan is barely audible when engine is operational
Is it good to leave the boot off for proper headlight bulb venting?
I removed that rubber seal for proper heating
Excellent video...thank you very much for posting! I am installing these in my Nephew's car this weekend. Did the wife's last night & took me about 10 minutes. So far I am very impressed with this product. Thanks again!
+Tery Biglin
Excellent
Hey Mr. Hamster one quick question for you and that's the bulb placement. Should the bulbs be installed with the wire up? As far as the actual LED's are concerned, should they be pointing up/down or side/side?
Hi does it require extra harness to fit this led bulbs? if not will this effect on batterie and other electrical components?
If I were to replace the bulbs on a European vehicle, I may need to install a harness. It doesn't affect battery or car electronics.
AwkwardHamster what harness do I need for this bulbs and I live in Ireland
immu ahmed relay harness if you own a certain vehicle. They're usually needed for German cars, otherwise you will get an error code on your dashboard
ToXiC81 thank you very much
I know this is an older video but I have the same vehicle and want to change over to LED from the stock halogens. My question is can these LED replacements be had at a lower kelvin rating? The one you replaced looks 5500-6000k-ish. I want the efficiency of LED but also want the K rating to be more natural say 4500k-ish.
Hello. Yes, I've seen various types including those that are around 4000K.
But, I don't think those are as popular considering that's the same K as halogen headlight bulbs and the halogen bulbs cost about $20 a pair (fraction of the LED bulbs).
The 5500-6000K LED bulbs are more popular because it gives a xenon headlight look without having to install a conversion kit.
thanks for the reply OP! I am also a flashlight collector and am more than familiar with the LED chips they use. It would be a benefit to your subscribers as to which LED chips the LED unit is using such as Cree XHP35, XHP50,XHP70. Not to familiar with the offerings from Phillips as Cree has dominated the high output flashlight market for years now. Luxeon is still around they make some good chips but as far as I know there are no Luxeons that are that high output. As for the lower K being lower output vs cool white the difference in output between them when it comes to flashlights is roughly 7% give or take. I love the fanless upgrades and truly hope I can find some LED upgrade units with Cree chips that are fanless and fit my 2004 CRV. I prefer lower k tints but if that is not available I will go with the white.
I currently have Sylvania Xtreme Vision bulbs in the CRV which made a surprisingly good difference. Oh well was just hoping mothers (she is 80)CRV had supplies out there to make her low beams a good bit brighter. Now I am stuck with a money pit 1996 Mercedes e320 that has the dullest most UV damaged headlights I have ever seen. I put good fresh correct bulbs throughout the entire car which really helped in the rear but even with my brights on my standard new bulbs look like low powered yellow fog lights. They are so dim now I am to afraid to drive it at night....
are the headlight glass clean? Pepboys sells the glass cleaners. Those helped with my 2000 lexus.
the right side headlight housing is new and very clean, nice almost with a jewel like shine to it. The passenger side headlight housing has corroded(?)and shows UV damage it has yellowed and just started to show small cracking in whatever Honda coats their headlights housings in. I have tried the UV damaged and worn cleaning and polishing methods on my 1996 Mercedes e320 the housings on that are horrendous. They were crystal clear for like 3 days. After having done more research I have decided on Xenon HID systems for both vehicles at 6000k. There are so darn many to choose from I am pretty lost. I thought the Sylvania Xtreme Vision halogens I put in her CRV were impressive they look like run of the mill halogens compared to my friends late 90's Honda with an 8000k Xenon HID system. He got them off ebay and they are no name HID's that cost him less than $45 altogether. 8000k is to blue for me and ma but now at least I know it can be done cheap and is actually pretty easy to install. Somehow my friends no name HID system has run perfectly for a year and a half lol
Worked on my 1998 Honda CRV, thanks!
You’re welcome
Thanks again.........................
you did not put the rubber cover right?
I did not put the rubber cover back on
AwkwardHamster thank's your video helps alot. :)
Does dust not get inside without the rubber cover?
I modified my dust cover to give some protection.
Great explanation dude. Thank you for the video. All the best :D

HI, what year CRV? Thanks
+Shawn shawnZ
2012
Awesome.. did you disable the DRL?
+christian reyes
No. I rather like keeping those operational.
AwkwardHamster does it flicker at all? Cause i've seen cases that it flickers when DRL is turned on.
+christian reyes
Mine hasn't flickered.
sorry late to ask. but how does it look in daylight? does it also serve its function as DRL?
+christian reyes hi, i have Honda Crv 2012, and my DRL works when i turn on my car. Did you tried these bulbs? Do they work with DRL without flickering? Thanks
thanks
Does this blind on coming traffic?
Not this one but I have reviewed some that do in the past. What I like about lasfit is they don’t try to advertise as being the brightest bulb. They took the time to explain why some of their bulbs are better suited for my vehicles make and model.
@@AwkwardHamster my brother got this and he told me to get a pair I just dont want to blind people. Got a 11 crv might retrofit morimotos in them not sure yet
This led bulb no need canbus decoder for crv?
Didn't need it.
yeah i think only european car need.. thanx
5:06 The little clip thing or paper clip looking thing (whatever you wanna call it) wont go over my LED. I dont want to try to force incase I break it.
does it flicker when the drl mode is on or does it function normal
it does not flicker. also, my car didn't need a canbus relay. some european cars need it or the light will flicker.
good video
+bizkid7
Thanks
my new led headlights stay on along with the DRL while the" car is running", When i turn on the headlight switch the only thing that happens is the DRL's turn off, This cant be normal, You think they may be defective ?
you can just twist the mounting plate off and install it, then install dust cap then push the led light through and twist to lock in place....
"Now I'ma slide dis in.. Do it slowly, there's no need to rush."
Proceeds to rush*
The best installation video on UA-cam. Thanks.
Thank you
