This video is a lifesaver!!! I needed to replace my fog light assembly due to a little rock causing a crack on the lens while driving on the highway! I purchased a fork shaped wedge tool just like the one in your video and followed your steps and was easily able to swap out the fog light assembly and secure everything in place!! Awesome 😎 saved me a ton of money from sending to the repair so they could charge me the labor to remove the bumper. Thanks a lot!!!!
I bought this set for my 2016, and moved it over when I upgraded to a 2017. FYI, all of the lights I bought worked just fine, except there is no rear cabin light for the liftgate, they now have two smaller one on each side. I haven't opened them to see what kind of bulbs they take. But the map, vanity, and dome light fixtures were identical to the 2016 and look great in the 2017. :)
No, upgrading your lighting will not void your vehicles warranty, as it is protected by the Magnuson-Moss Act. I have linked some information on this law below for your convenience. www.impalaclub.com/naisso/magmoss.htm
Great video! Very clear and I appreciate all the steps. My only critique would be to zoom in on some spots so we can see certain details better. Also, the black car color makes it a little challenging to see. I’m definitely going to check out the site for the bulbs. Thanks!
Thank you for this video. You have such a great company with excellent customer support. I am a Precision LED customer. I just was to drop you a line thanking you for all you do for us even after the sale has been made.
I did similar upgrades to the fog lights to my CRV 2014 model year European model. Low beams came with HID from the factory . The fog lights can be accessed from beneath the car. Just release the plastic guard and you can see the back of the fog light assembly. The space is tighter but it's an option if you don't have those special fork tools.
Very good for the video clip but my Honda crv awd 2016 original don’t have the fog light, I want to upgrade the fog light for my crv so what do I need to upgrade my crv for led fog light
We will keep an eye out for a 2017 CR-V out here in Los Angeles for a video shoot. However, the installation process should be very similar, if not identical to as shown in the video. The only major difference would be physically locating your halogen bulb.
Thank you for the suggestion. We will keep an eye our for a 2017-2018 CR-V out here in Los Angeles for an updated video. However, the installation process should be identical to as shown in this video. The only major difference would be physically accessing your halogen bulb.
There are many factors and many upgrades to headlight housings over the years that help mitigate any glare to oncoming drivers. It is more or less the color of the light which causes distraction and not the actual brightness intensity itself. If you notice, the most distracting lights to see on the road are the blue HID lights which cause a lot of glare for the human eye, whereas you probably never noticed the 6000K or 8000K lights on the road because they are more natural to the human eye.
Yes, that is correct, the power connector comes included in the box. The kits linked in the description comes with everything you will need to upgrade your headlights and fog lights to LED.
The high beam installation would be virtually identical to the lows. The only major difference would be physically locating your halogen bulb. You can find the correct kit here: www.precisionled.com/premium-9005-cree-hl-gl-headlight-led.html
No you do not, as our kits are manufactured for your stock CR-V headlight housing. You do not have to swap your housing for a different kind. Also, our LEDs actually run at a lower temperature than your halogen bulbs. As long as the bulb is installed properly, you do not have anything to worry about.
If it is easier for you, feel free to do that instead! We wanted to be able to show the installation process very clearly, which is why we chose to use the method that we did.
For the highs, you would install this kit here: www.precisionled.com/premium-9005-cree-led-headlights.html If the high beam comes with a dust cover, our ballasts are small enough to store in the housing and place the cover over it. If it does not come with a dust cover, you can zip tie the ballast to the frame or 3M mount it to the side wall.
I do apologize for the confusion, but the CREE H11 product is currently on backorder for week, so the product has been disabled. However, I would recommend checking back in a week or so, and it should be back up. We thank you for your patience.
@Chris Mork- Thank you for your interest. We do indeed have a kit for your vehicle, which you can find here: www.precisionled.com/premium-h4-cree-hl-gl-headlight-led.html This package will increase your nighttime driving visibility by 2-3 times. Also, as you can see in the video, our LEDs are simple plug-and-play products, so the installation process should be a breeze. Feel free to ask if you have any additional questions.
What about the rubber gasket on the back of the stock bulb that keeps moisture out of the headlight fixture? It doesn't look like it'll fit over the fan. I have a 2012 crv.
Thank you for your interest. The high beam installation would be virtually identical to the lows. The only major difference would be physically locating your halogen bulb. You can find the correct kit here: www.precisionled.com/premium-9005-cree-hl-gl-headlight-led.html
That is absolutely correct. The 2012-2014 models use the H4 dual beam LED fitment. The 2015+ would use the H11. However, the installation process is identical, and the video applies to both generations. You can see this info reflect off of the links in the description of the video.
Thank you for your interest. We will keep an eye out for a 2015 Odyssey out here in Los Angeles for a video shoot. However, please note, the installation process is virtually identical for all vehicles. I would recommend having a watch on some of our other videos and you will gain a general knowledge of how LEDs are installed.
Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, we do not have an installation video for the DRL. However, the process should be very simple. Removing and installing the LED would be virtually the exact same as your halogen.
Thank you for the interest. Also, yes, you can absolutely use and LED kit for your highs, and no, it will not affect your DRLs. You can find the proper kit for your highs here: www.precisionled.com/premium-9005-cree-hl-gl-headlight-led.html
Hi, so this model seems to have fog lights pre-installed, but what about models that don't have fog lights pre-installed? For example, the Honda 2016 CRV SE? Those have plastic place holders, would you be able to take out those place holders and install the fog lights like you just did in this video?
No, you would not be able to, as you would need to have existing halogen fogs in order to convert them to LEDs. Reason being is because you would need already have the wiring installed, as well as a button to turn the fogs on/off.
+PrecisionLED In the link for both Heads and Fogs, you show two different links but they both lead to the same product. I noticed the asterisk which then says they are both 'interchangeable' but in the video you shoe two different types. If what you say about interchangeability is true, then why are you using different types (judging by the gray color ballast for Heads, and Black for Fogs!), in the video? BTW: My vehicle is a 2016 CR-V EX-L ;-)
Thank you for your interest. We purposely used different shades of grey products for the installation. However, this is only the color of the products. The bulb fitments are indeed interchangeable.
2014 CRV. 9003(H4) for the high/lows and H11 for the fogs right? I only have one set of bulbs Thst are my highs/lows. They are not separate and they have reflective housing. Not projector.
Thank you for your interest. Yes, that is exactly correct. Also, the H4 bulb would be bi-xenon, meaning it would project your high and low beams from the same bulb. In order to do so, the bulb would physically move in order to project lights at different angels.
so the H8 and H11 is pretty much the same product then if they are interchangeable right? So out of the two which one is better? or could I use the H11 for the fogs aswell?
Thank you for the interest. The big difference between bulb types would be the fitment. There is no better/worse when it comes to H11 vs H8. The products are interchangeable because the fitment of the bulbs are virtually identical. Yes, you can use the H11s for your fogs as well, if your fogs list H8 as the required bulb.
Hello, great video. I went on your website but can't find the fog lights kit, is not sold anymore? 2015 CR-V Touring is my vehicle. Also, what's the second attachment (box) that you need to stick to the frame? I've seen some others that come just with the led bulb that plugs right in, can you explain the difference or need for the second piece.
Hi! The fog lights are definitely still available, and they would be compatible with your 2015 CR-V. Here is a direct link: www.precisionled.com/premium-h8-cree-led-fog-lights.html? I believe you are referring to the ballast, which is a device that regulates voltage and current supplied to the lamp during start and throughout operation. Any LED system that does not require a ballast I would suspect to not be very bright. Let us know if you have any other questions!
No, you do not need any additional products in order to bypass your DRL system. The package linked in the description comes with everything you will need to successfully upgrade your high/low beams to LED.
I bought 80W 7200LM 12-24V Auxbeam H11 type . I dont know if the wattage was higher than the required out of my vehicle. What will be the right wattage ? Are you selling the right wattage for the low beam? Or is it really the projector type headlight housing .
We do not sell nor recommend 55W kits because of an increase in fire risk. Our LED kits (35W) run at a lower temperature than your OEM lights (55W). All the horror stories you hear online of headlights melting is due to higher wattage HID or LED kits. They operate at much higher temperatures than what your headlight is designed for. A 35W kit gives 3 time more brightness than a halogen bulb but operates at a lower temperature. The slight increase in brightness offered by a 55W kit is not a good tradeoff for the safety risk.
We do have offices in LA that you are able to pickup your products from by scheduling an appointment. However, we are an e-commerce business, and do not have any store fronts.
I own a 2012 CR-V ex-l and my bulbs are listed as 9003/h4 yet you used an H11 styled led. Would this be the same case for what I would have to do in my vehicle? If so what is the difference?
Thank you for your interest. Yes, as you can see in the description, the 2012-2014 model would use a different fitment (H4) than the 2015+ (H11), which is shown in the video. However, the installation process is identical. You can find the direct product link for your 2012 in the description.
Unfortunately, at the moment we do not advertise turn signal bulbs as they would hyper flash when ignited. We are searching for a simple solution to this. Subscribe for updates!
Hello , i bought H11 LED type for my crv 2015 low beam tested it and i noticed front passing vehicles always giving me a signal it looks like im on a high beam ? I made some research about the issue , i found out the projector type housing of my headlight is not fit for an LED bulb type. Is it true?
No, that absolutely does not make sense to us. However, it is possible that your cutoff from your housing is projecting too high. Have you tried adjusting it? It is a very simple process, as there is typically just a screw to twist on the top of the housing.
Thank you for the suggestion. We will keep an eye out for a 2016 Pilot here in Los Angeles, California for an installation video. Feel free to subscribe to our page for updates.
I have linked our Honda Pilot LED page below. All of the products listed are compatible with your 2016 Pilot. www.precisionled.com/vehicle/honda-led/pilot-led/pilot-2009-present.html
Thank you for your interest. You can find a direct product link in the description of the video. For now, the link has been disabled as we are on backorder for the H11 product. However, the link should work sometime in the next couple days, as this is when we expect our replenishment of inventory.
PrecisionLED so would you need two kits to cover both the headlights and fog lights? Since the links show the same H11 kit which I assume only comes with 2 bulbs?
Yes, you would need 2 kits for the lows and fogs. Both links direct to the same H11 kit, because you would install the same type of kit for both the lows and fogs. The H11 bulb is compatible with both lights.
In your website when I type my 2013 crv, it does not show anything but interior LEDs. And the crv in this video has different bulbs than my 2013 ( I also own a 2010 crv) crv , my car has clips and the bulb noes not twist in. Is the crv in this video a touring model?? Because they have different headlights than the other cars.
Thank you for your interest. There are direct links to the packages for the headlamps and fog lights in the description of the video. We do mainly handle interior LED lighting, however, we also sell headlamps, fog lights, high beams, reverse, and a couple other exterior lighting. Also, your vehicle should indeed us the H11 bulb type. Unless, of course, your vehicle comes with stock HIDs, in which case, the kit listed would not be compatible for your vehicle. For further inquires, feel free to contact us directly at help@precisionled.com.
You should only be able to install the LED bulb in a single direction into your housing. Also, it does not matter where the chip aims, as your housing is designed to project light evenly onto the road.
There are many factors and many upgrades to headlight housings over the years that help mitigate any glare to oncoming drivers. It is more or less the color of the light which causes distraction and not the actual brightness intensity itself. If you notice, the most distracting lights to see on the road are the blue HID lights which cause a lot of glare for the human eye, whereas you probably never noticed the 6000K or 8000K lights on the road because they are more natural to the human eye.
We will keep an eye out for a 2018 CR-V for an updated video. However, the installation process should be identical to as shown in this 2012 - 2016 video.
No, it is not typically necessary. However, if you are having trouble accessing the side wall, there should be plenty of places to mount the ballast. You would just want to find somewhere that is flat. Be sure to clean off any surface beforehand to free it from any dirt or dust.
Thank you for your interest. I have linked the proper kits for your 2014 CR-V below for your convenience. Headlights high/low beam: bit.ly/2aHi5wx Fog Lights*: bit.ly/296jCPO
Both LEDs and HIDs do indeed have their own perks. Either can be brighter, depending on the quality of product purchased. We believe we have some of the highest quality products on the market today, which we back with a warranty. Also, LEDs are known to last slightly longer than LEDs. I have linked some additional information below for your convenience. www.caradvice.com.au/278125/headlights-explained-halogen-v-hid-v-led-v-laser/
+PrecisionLED sweet thanks for the quick reply! I think I will be switching to leds, they would be much better for me as I live on countryside roads where their isn't as much light
Thank you for the suggestion. We will keep an eye our for a 2007 Accord out here in Los Angeles for a video shoot. However, please note, the installation process would be virtually identical to as shown in this video.
Yes, we do carry the DRL LED for your 2007 Accord, which you can find here: www.precisionled.com/premium-9005-21-smd-5730-led.html Please note, you would have to up the quantity to 2.
Yes, this is perfectly fine. Our kits (35W) run at a lower temperature than your OEM lights (55W). We do not sell nor recommend 55W kits because of an increase in fire risk. All the horror stories you hear online of headlights melting is due to higher wattage HID or LED kits. They operate at much higher temperatures than what your headlight is designed for. A 35W kit gives 3 time more brightness than a halogen bulb but operates at a lower temperature. The slight increase in brightness offered by a 55W kit is not a good tradeoff for the safety risk.
No, the product is designed for CR-V owners that want to upgrade from halogen to LED. If your vehicle comes with stock HIDs or LEDs, then the product is not compatible.
Thank you for your interest. We will keep this in mind for future installation videos. However, please note, it is very rare for us to have to adjust the headlamp cutoff after the LED installation.
A headlamp cutoff has to do with the housing type (reflector vs projector), and not the bulb inside. Projectors have a physical medal plate inside of the housing to make a crisp cutoff. This is with LEDs, halogens, HIDs, or any other type of light installed. Reflector housings tend to disperse light on the road more.
You can find all of the products here: Lowbeam: goo.gl/iBdU6u Fog Lights*: goo.gl/iBdU6u *H8 & H11 LEDs are interchangeable Please feel free to reach out at help@precisionled.com if you have any questions!
Thank you for your interest. The installation on the 2017 should be virtually identical to as shown in this video. Installing LEDs on headlamps is very similar on all vehicles. The only major difference would be physically accessing your halogen bulb.
I have the 2017 now and transferred the bulbs from my 2016...the installation is identical. The only catch is in the 2017 cargo area they did away with the central light and opted for two lights on either side, so I just left those alone.
Mike, I changed the interior lights on my 2017 and they looks great, even did the ones in the cargo area. Very fast and quick install. Now I just need to change my headlights and my reverse light. I saw that on the back of the lift gate, there are two square cut outs for the reverse light. I just need to be careful on how I remove those pieces, to get to those reverse lights.
Thank you for your interest. You can find all of the products here: Lowbeam: goo.gl/iBdU6u Fog Lights*: goo.gl/iBdU6u *H8 & H11 LEDs are interchangeable
The high beam installation would be identical to the lows, except you would just be installing on the high beam portion of the housing. You would want to install this kit here: www.precisionled.com/premium-9005-cree-led-headlights.html
I have a 2012 Honda CRV and it uses the H4 bulb High & Low beam in One bulb This car has the poorest head lights of ANY car I have ever owned. Still looking for a solution
Here is a link to the bulbs you would need to upgrade to LED: www.precisionled.com/premium-h4-h-l-cree-led-headlights.html They would be 2-3x brighter than your stock lights.
