Some interior detailing tips would be most appreciated. I have water stains on the door panel and stains on the plastic trim by the gear shifter that I can't seem to remove.

New sub here and thanks for the video... it def upgrades the look. I've had Sealite LED replacement bulbs in my 2009 CRV installed for about 10 months and I just lost my low beams any guesses as to why?

Thanks for the sub! 👊🏼 It sounds like the LED bulbs burnt out. Check the headlight fuse too in the under hood relay/fuse box.

That does sound like it could be a loose spark plug, also sounds like a rotating noise like tensioner pulley. Check the plugs. I see a you have a new belt on there.

@@themechanic2.060 Thank you. Yes, it's a new belt. Great observation! I had the belt replaced and pulleys inspected initially. My mechanic replaced the belt and said that everything else looked fine to him. Then, I took it to the dealership, and they didn't know where it was coming from. It's just some crazy whistle in the background. The PCV valve is fine too. So, I'm going for the spark plugs next.

​@@themechanic2.060Maybe shooting the company an email with a link to your first video and now this short video would prove to be beneficial?! Knowing that there's video evidence out there that could influence their customers buying potential is a game changer and they may want a chance to redeem themselves. Worth a shot. Btw... I love how your headlamps and fog lights look, you've really done a nice job with your CR- V, can't wait to see what else you've got planned!

Hi again Nick! I was probably criticizing your music to much below, but wanted to say how good your video was again. You explained the installation process really well and thankfully gave all of us good information how LED bulbs work with their side by side elements, vs the more common halogen bulbs. I am installing the same kind of upgraded headlights with the DRL light bar on the top. Was really surprised though that the DRL lights on the top would not work automatically but after thinking about the design of the new headlight, it makes sends that we have to turn on the light switch to make them work like a DRL. Here is the important question. Do the new projector headlights work better than the LED bulb conversion that you did with the H4? I did the same thing and that simple upgrade was better than the original. The new headlights definitely will make the car look better but are they brighter at night with the stronger halogen bulbs you installed? Thanks and let us know. Tim in Colorado
@themechanic2.060
@themechanic2.060 Ай бұрын
Hey Tim, no worries on the music thing 😁 As far as the halogen bulbs ( I’m using the upgraded Silver Star) with the projector beams it’s night and day over the H4 LED upgrade with the stock headlamp housings. The LEDs with the projector beams you think they would be good right? Wrong. They don’t emit that desirable beam pattern that a good halogen does with the projectors. In fact as much as I love LED bulbs on every other system… brake/tail/turn and interior (check my vids I have 2 vids on LED bulbs for those systems I’m using AUXITO and I have a 15% off discount code!) I don’t like them for headlights only if they’re factory. With that being said I’m soon going to be working on an HID video for my CRV with my projectors. You see HID (IMO) for an aftermarket upgrade over halogen is my preferred upgrade, not LED for headlights. So stay tuned for that and check out the LED videos. And I’m sure you’ll love the new projectors w/LED strip as my as I do! Thanks for your support Tim!! 👊🏼 Oh and yes they’re brighter and better visibility at night!
