Review on πŸ”¦ JDM ASTAR 2000 Lumens 360-Degree Shine LED Bulbs For Backup Reverse Lights, Xenon White - Enhanced Visibility with 921, 912 90-EX Chipsets by Bob Roberts

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Battery empty? Update: JK, they are awesome! Replaced the old battery.

This has been mentioned in two other reviews. Last night I tried to put two lightbulbs in my 2011 Honda CR-Z. My car's 12 volt battery died within five minutes of connecting and testing the first battery. What can happen here? After I parked the car, I left the shifter in R and turned the key to Run. The first lightbulb blinked rapidly, then went out and went out. Tried both sockets and both bulbs and the battery died forever, which has never happened before. I had to charge it to start the car again. Will try again tonight with a fully charged battery. UPDATE MAY 2019: Of course, "Tonight" has become "a few months away". Ignore my previous review. As I feared, I jumped to conclusions. My tiny 12 volt battery died at the age of 8. I didn't know it was the original battery! After days of jumping around everywhere with the poor thing I got a brand new battery and it's been working great for months now. The reversing lights fit well and are quite bright. Excellent value for money and quality. Few people have the exact same car, but for that reason I'm going to give seldom-seen installation advice to anyone who does: Don't be afraid to tug on those headlights! They are held in place with plastic clips. After removing the two screws under the panel next to the tailgate, simply grasp it on either side and pull straight back until it falls off. The first try took 5-10 minutes because I didn't want to break anything. The second time each took about 60 seconds because I now know they just play out of reach. A plastic panel remover or spatula will help separate the pointed end from the body panels.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
