Purchase at your own risk. May not fit your vehicle.

I was looking for an aftermarket LED relay (unfortunate for my car model) hoping to avoid the hassle and unwise use of factory headlights with cheap Chinese parts. It's just not worth it if you ask me, but I digress. I just installed them on my honda crv 04. First I installed the rear indicators with new LED bulbs. Everything went smoothly. Then I installed front turn signals in my headlights and that's where things went wrong. First, I couldn't perfectly line up the wire taps with the resistor leads. It had more to do with angle and space. I had to switch to the flat taps I had which are much better. I checked my lights and got one side flashing properly, but the other was overactive. Took it apart to see if there was any resistance and reinstalled it on opposite sides. Now both were hyperactive. Checked all my connections, removed and reinstalled, now one side didn't light up unless you were using a turn signal and both were still hyper. I removed the rear connectors and checked the front ones, normal blink rate. Turns out I couldn't use the LEDs on the front and rear turn signals with these resistors. The load is 24 ohms total or 200 watts plus the LEDs which should be about 14 watts each or about 52 watts total. The circuit/relay is designed for 150-250 watts. It should have worked. Not sure why not. Decided to leave the back and put a halogen beforehand. It was not a good experience and ultimately a failure. Not sure if I can blame a cheap product or if it's just the wrong load on the chain. Back to the low beam.

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Useless features
