In todays video I install a set of aftermarket tail lights and reflector onto my 2017 Honda Civic LX. These tail lights were purchased from amazon. I will be going through a step by step process on how to detach the stock tail lights and reflector and install the aftermarket parts. I will go through all the challenges and my overall thoughts of the products and let you know if it is worth it. The total install should take about a hour to hour and a half. The tail lights were plug and play and the reflectors have to be spliced into the tail lights.
Below I will link both tail light and reflector plus some other tail lights for the 10th gen civic that I think will enhance the look of your ride.

I checked the wire and everything but the only thing that’s working is the brake light for it. I bought the ones you have right now but with smoked black.

Great video, I have a 2016 Touring that I bought those reflectors for and side markers etc. I haven't bought the tail lights yet but I'm considering it. I have one suggestion though, I saw you do something that made me nervous, most people are comfortable with it but I'm not. When connecting the reflector wires you stripped the original wires to connect it. I'm afraid of doing that because sometimes buyers don't like anything tampered with when it's being sold. So instead what I did was strip the top of the reflector wires and push them directly into the connectors then plug the connectors back in. They work just the same and u can easily remove them if you need without leaving any evidence of tampering. That's how I prefer to do it, but great video man, thanks alot

Can you explain this a little better please? I would love to get something like this for my Civic, but I'm terribly afraid of doing anything involving cable work, especially splicing. Do you mean after you strip the ends of the reflector wires you plug them into the female end of the wiring harness and then plug the socket back in? And do you put the exposed wire tips into the same prongs as the wires he spliced them to here?

I like the tail lights but not so much those led reflectors. Too bad it didn't have a different design. EDIT...cool. Seen they do have different design. Also wanted to ask did you have to do anything to have your blinkers not hyper flash? I have a 2018 civic touring and it has the front led signal and I replaced the rear with a led bulb and it blinks fast. Just wondering if adding this brake light assembly will cause them to hyper flash.

I was wondering are the taillights cheaply made since they're only $220 & $290 on the links you posted? I've seen another video of someone else installing similar ones, but they were like $350 on their website. also do these lights ever go bad since there's no light bulbs in them and if they do, how does that work, are you supposed to relace the whole taillight?

@sleekauto6008 Жыл бұрын
I would say the one I installed in the video are quality and have lasted almost two years no problem. I do believe when they begin having issues or the LED lights go out it would be more cost efficient to replace with new ones. But I'm not sure how long they will last. So far so good, the price will vary from place to place as there is different markups. Thank you for the comment!

@@powaguyamir5079 Apologies I was thinking the tabs would go in but would pop out. If the was the case you would slide under the car and use the zips on the clips built in the new reflector. Sounds like its worse then I thought. Are you working on the right or left side? The clips are at a angle so when you install depending on the side of the car your on you cant just push straight in. You will have to be slightly to the right or left (depending on the side) push in and slide into place.

Interesting, the animation will come on before you start the car. when you turn the key to turn on the battery but not the car that's when it should activate.

It's stock and shouldn't be different from any other 10th gen civic sedan's muffler. How did you work around it?

Good question, The reason I wired the lights this was was the make the rear stand out more. So yes if you wire like I did then the lights will come on when pressing the break or you can wire to where its just the turn signal will activate. Personal preference, just wanted to show the cooler way.

But you're saying they come on if you press the breaks? Aren't they already on all the time when you drive at night because they are connected to the running lights?

The taillight reflector automatically turns on when turning but if you want the lights on during the day switch your headlights from auto to on. It looks like two light bulbs shining left and right. It will show green when activated on the dash.

I have a question. The lights that I bought do not have the same colors of the cables, for example, the one that you are putting has red, black and two yellow ones and the ones that I bought have black, red, yellow and one blue, so the question is that blue that it has is connected in the signal light on the driver's side not because I know where the black goes the red and the yellow but that blue would it go on that driver's side in the signal light?

Its hard to say unless I'm looking at the lights and where the wires are coming out of. Whenever I cant identify the wire I just test by connecting where I believe it goes. Turn on the battery and see if it works. If it does then I seal with electrical tape. I recommend testing where you believe it goes. If you have trouble, send me to link to the lights and I can help out more! Thank you for the comment brother!

@sleekauto6008
@sleekauto6008 3 жыл бұрын
So the first thing I would try is make sure you have a proper connection with the wires. Make sure the wires your connecting to are completely stripped and then wrap the reflector wire around. The two used in the video are the green socket which is the turn signal and the black socket which is the main taillight power. If you believe these wires are bad then I would look up your cars year and search for a taillight connector pigtail harness. Usually when it doesn't work its just a bad connection. Let me know if this helps. Thank you!

If you have a volt meter you could check the wires and connectors and see if there is a loss of power somewhere that's preventing a proper connection. At some auto parts stores like Oreilles you can use and check.
