To fit brighter halogen headlights that may be higher in wattage than the existing bulbs (e.g., 60/55 Watts), do you need to fit a relay or otherwise modify the headlight wiring to accommodate more current?

my side mirrors were vandalized. :(
they were removed forcibly from the housing (not the whole assembly from the car) damaging 1 of the 4 clips.
should i buy the whole side mirror assembly or just the mirror? and where is the cheapest? tnx

Hi - I have installed a Kenwood DNX5240BT system to replace my Honda SAT NAV System. There is a wire which should be connected to the handbrake so the DVD and certain Handsfree functions only work whilst the Parking brake is on. If i wanted to connect this to be permenantly on - what would be the best way to do this. Thanks.

I bought my wife a 2007 crv new. It only has 21,000 miles on it. It was making and moaning/grinding noise when she backed it up with the wheels turned. I found this forum while google searching. I found the answer to the problem right away. Thanks to everyone who has send in information to this site. All the information I found was right on the money.I brought it to the dealer and the burnished the rear end with the procedure in service bulletin 07-024. It was covered on warranty. I also found out how to figure out the code 6 that tell you when to change it. That was in the forum also. I guess I deleted it when I reset my oil change. I was expecting it to show "change rear fluid" not just a number 6. I am a gearhead and do all maintenance myself and will make sure I change the rear fluid every third oil change to avoid this problem. I change engine oil every 3,000 miles so that means I will change the rear fliud every 9,000. Is that overkill or about right? I see that some people say to fill the rearend to use a funnel and 5' hose. If you go to a marina or boat dealer they sell a pump and 18" flex hose that fits on a quart bottle thats made for putting gear lube in the lower unit of a boat motor. They cost $10-$15. Works great.

has anyone ever seen dome light problems, or rear hatch sensor issues?

The battery in my 2004 CRV died. I put in a new one, entered the security code for the CD player, and all seemed well. A few days later the CD player will no longer turn on, as if it has no power. In addition, the power doors will not work unless the car is running, the cabin light does not come on when the door is open, and the keyless entry only turns off the alarm but does not open the doors. I checked fuses, and fuse 9 called "back up" was blown and everytime I replace it it blows immediatly. So many questions;

1. Is it possible that this is all related to the battery being replaced?
2. What is fuse 9 for? It's not the back up light like I thought because they still work. It's a 10A fuse.
3. Why would that fuse keep blowing?

Obviously I want to try fixing it myself if I can. Who has the money to take it to the dealer? Any help would be great!

I am looking to do some simple intake and exhaust mods for a 2008 CRV but to my complete astonishment, I can't find a single dedicated bolt on modification. They have plenty of gen 1 and 2 intake kits but not a single gen 3. Anyone else noticing this? I would like to do a new air intake and add a high flow cat and muffler. Anyone have any luck in this department?

It seems all floor mats for early CR-Vs have been discontinued. I would like winter mats but would appreciate help finding any. My interior is gray.

i've recently purchased a hella 500ff driving light kit for my 1999 crv lx. the instructions inside are terrible. i've looked on the hella site and found some instructions. i know it's not brain surgery, but i would like to get it right the first time, and done quickly.

1) wiring: is everything included in the kit good enough in quality and quantity? is there splicing involved? i will be using the supplied lighted dash switch. does someone have a simple but accurate diagram/explanation step-by-step to accomplish the wiring section?

2) mounting: i have a yakmima loadwarrior roof rack which i was considering mounting to (yakima sells mounting plates), but i dopn't think there is an easy and safe way to get the wiring up there.

second option is mounting them above the bumper. i don't want to take the bumper skin off yet. i would prefer attaching to the outside to make removal easier, like the license plate holes, grille, radiator brace, etc.
something sturdy and homemade would be ideal at this time (and no, i'm not buying a safari bar). probaby aluminum; easy to shape and drill.

any ideas are welcome.

Sweden!! Our new CR-V will be delivered next saturday so we dont have any pics yet. It is a Deep Bronze metallic 2009.

I have a 2009 CRV (I also have a 2001 Civic).

I would like to purchase a portable air compressor, essentially just to top off my tires (and those of the Civic) now and then.

For someone who is not especially mechanically inclined, is there a particular air compressor that you would recommend getting?

Slime products ( like this one) seem to get decent reviews on Amazon, but appear to require a 15 amp power source. A CRV (and a Civic) do not have this, do they?

Also, this Goodyear-branded model seems decent too, but I can't tell if it would work off a CRV and Civic.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone in the Boston, Mass. area know of an installer who has done a Viper 5901 for a Gen 3 EX-L with Nav? I would like to have the installation done by an installer that has done a similiar V.

My wife and I just recently purchased a 2007 CR-V. Our decision was between a CR-V and a new Escape. We were able to get a much better deal on the Honda and we are very pleased with our decsion. We had to trade in our 1999 Saab 9-3 and we miss the car a lot but we are real happy with the CR-V. Next week we have an appt. with the dealer to get some fog lights installed for free.
Here are a few pics
