Your welcome. We plan on doing other videos on these. It was upsetting for me to having to let it go. But their is plenty of wreckyards where we can do all kinds to these.
I like to see how you take care of your Honda CR-V I have one like it and I take care of it and I want to have it with me forever it is my favorite CR-V 😎 cool lights
Many people get these LED lights and especially headlight bulbs. What many do not realize is they should look for ones that are DOT or SAE certified. If not, they could easily be illegal because of being to bright Fed requirements state the headlights can be between 500-3000 lumens. If you get the wrong ones you risk a fine or worse. Even taillights have a max brightness. A few times on the interstate I thought a few people had their brake lights on only to find that they had installed LED taillights. 500 lumens for a tail light is considered very good. 1500 or more can be considered to bright for regular tail lights ( not brake)
Please kindly breakdown it down again, I need to know which LED would fit on 1997-2001 Honda CRV tail-lights (i.e. Reverse lights, Parking lights, Brake lights etc.). I thank you.
I have the whole list, inside and outside, for a Gen 1 CR-V. Hi-Lo: HB2/9003/H4 Reverse: 921 (T15 type) Cabin dome, Trunk dome, Map lights: DE3175 (use LED replacements, the one size fits all three areas) Front Side Markers, Front Turn: 1157NA Parking: 168 (T10 type) Rear Side Marker: 194 (T10 type) Tail Light, Brake: 7443 (T20 type) Rear Turn, Center High-Mount Stop: 7440 (T20 type) Ash Tray: 74 (T5 type) Instrument Panel: Numerous 74 (T5) + one 158 (T10) In the instrument panel for an automatic, I THINK the gear bulbs (PRN and the Ds) are T3 size. You CAN find LEDs for those, but there just aren't many offerings. Do a lot of research on the LEDs for wherever you install them. Would highly advise that you look up the Headlight Revolution website and check for their tested and rated brands for guarantees on what will work for the make and model + year. When it comes to the 74s, you do a LOT of research on reviews and see what has the most in high-rated and credible reviews, sorted by date. Before you go to take out the instrument cluster, take off the negative battery cable and wait 5-10 minutes - this will make sure the air bag does not get set off. It shouldn't be difficult to unscrew, remove the connectors and take out the instrument cluster, but still, take your time on it. *_For literally any of these bulbs, if you don't have a multimeter, then you can use a 9V battery, electrical tape, and two small wires with insulation still on them to check for the polarity + test power the light briefly. When you identify the + and -, note that and install in the sockets correctly. That will save you a lot of time having to get in and out and pull a socket, rotate a bulb by removing the guesswork at the start._* I hope this information helps. Feel free to pass it on for Gen 1 CR-V owners everywhere. A final warning: the reason LED turn signal bulbs flash faster is because you still have the stock turn signal flasher relay module in place. When a regular bulb burns out, and the resistance is down, it causes the same side turn signal on the opposite part of the car to hyper-flash. This is intended by design, and is to let you know that a bulb has failed. A hyper-flashing bulb will more often get the attention of nearby police officers looking for an excuse to pull you over. So when you have an LED bulb in place in the turn signal sockets, should it not have added resistance as part of the design, it is going to have low resistance anyway and thus it WILL hyper-flash. You can either wire in a load resistor with it, or more simply swap out the flasher relay in your car with one designed to work with LEDs. With that, you put your stock relay into storage since you know it works. Best avoid the police pull-overs altogether.
@@wrenchingoncars1884 I'm about to do it again on 1st Gen CRV. Determining mounting location for resistors takes a little more thought as the resistors get very hot and should be fastened to metal and the more air they get, the better. I was trying to be lazy and copy what someone else has already done on a RU-vid video rather than figure it out for myself.
@@earthtones1138 this might be out there. But have you trying running them down the roof rails on the outside? You can get some weather resistant materials to keep it dry? It would be hard to keep it in the cab of the CR-V. Let me know how it goes.
Yesterday I tried to upgrade my 1999 to led lights... got stuff from amazon, everything said they would work as plug and play... the headlights only worked on high beam, and the blinkers flashed very very fast, and I didn’t even even try the brake lights for fear it would fry something and not work...
