We just purchased a new 2022 Hybrid Touring CR-V to replace a vehicle totaled in an accident. We got lucky; there were three vehicles on the truck on their way to the dealer, and had not been posted as available for sale yet. I notice that every single bulb in the car is an LED except for the 16W back up lights. Why? Is this a regulatory issue? When ever they burn out, are there LED replacements? Thanks in advance.

Probably a cost issue.

Ti's the same for UK CR-Vs too.

Ja, haf been in Zinzinnati many times.

Don't wait. Replace your backup lights with LEDs ASAP. They are that much more improved over the OEM lights.

The wife's expen$ive European car has regular bulbs in the back-ups, too.

I never realized this. Now the question is, it it really worth changing these bulbs to LED? I have a 2022 hybrid touring a 2022 non hybrid touring.

Not to me, whatever is back there now seems fine.

That's kind of what I'm thinking. I've owned my hybrid touring for a year now and I've enjoyed every minute of it and loved every thing this CR-V is.

The difference is night and day. Probably the most cost effective upgrade that can be made to the CRV.

Yes, because when reversing in the dark, the LEDs give a much better light when also using the camera.

That's the only thing I could think of where it might make a difference.

And if you get high quality LEDs, they make a bloody big and positive difference

I might look into these especially now that it's getting dark so much earlier and I drive my CR-V mostly after dark in the winter.
