Great simple video. I just purchased a pair of these bulbs form Walmart for ~$6. Installation was less than 10 mins. Thank You!

[@chrisdungeon]

You're welcome. Glad to hear you saving money and not giving it to a dealership 👍🏻

[@wellsOFmischa]

Thanks for posting this simple video! I’ll be changing my light after work🙂

[@chrisdungeon]

You got it 👍🏻

[@mr.tuckers2848]

Thanks for a simple but helpful review! One thing you guys forgot to mention is reason why the bulb needs to be wiped-off. I always tell friends that this needs to be done because the oils on your hands, if left on the bulb, will start to cook on the surface of the bulb once it lights-up, which in turn degrades the life of the bulb. If you can, it would be nice to use disposable gloves when installing any time of bulb (halogan or LED type).

[@chrisdungeon]

Great tip!

[@Lawtown31]

God bless you for posting this..so easy, they wanted to charge me 50$ to do it.

[@chrisdungeon]

You're welcome. That's straight robbery.

[@CARSONATOR93]

Thanks for this video. It was helpful. Haven't had to replace them in a long time so this was a good refresher. The only thing I would add is to try tapping the brakes to test the new install before replacing the cover.

[@chrisdungeon]

Great tip!

[@itsblack90]

I definitely followed this for my 07 crv

[@DavidMartin-vt6rj]

Made this very easy and saved me $50.

[@chrisdungeon]

Hah, awesome! 👏🏻
Glad to hear.
That's what these videos are all about.

[@un-trackable5705]

It worked for us this Christmas Eve. Thank you.

[@Field_Marshal_Emu]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks, mate!

[@stephanienorthrop9085]

Thank you! I was able to easily change both my brake lights this morning before work! I would have taken quite a bit longer to figure it out on my own! Very helpful!!!

[@JCraigGleasonIncAlpharetta]

Had a shop charge me $60 once for 10 minutes work. Never again. Thanks mypcbleup great job.

[@susantz3901]

Exactly what I needed. Was nervous but was quite simple. The mechanic wanted over 30$ to do

[@percyflores7517]

so was the brake light ?

[@stevemichael9318]

Always try to replace easy stuff like this yourself. If you have to take your car in you gotta do what you gotta do. Especially with newer cars. Just to do a damn oil change they make it complicated

[@thomassnyder4497]

You're paying for the years of experience and knowledge. Not the job. If $30 is ridiculous to you then how would you feel if someone came to your work and wanted you to do your job for less than what you're worth?

[@geraldfoushee]

dec 2018 I just watched the video...purchased bulbs from parts store for 10 dollars. change out was easy.

Wow, almost $100 🤯

[@chrisdungeon]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jimmyhotel8061]

Thank you

[@YOPHILLYYO]

You may need a socket, extension and ratchet. I did my 08 CR-V today and it required a 8mm socket, extension and ratchet. Had a plastic cover over each bolt that you can pop off with a flat head screw driver.

[@MarkWieske]

Good stuff, thanks! Be careful when you pry out the little screw covers (ours is 2010). They break easy. So I had to use tape to hold one of them in afterwards.

[@cappystrano1]

Thankyou!

[@ScuteriB]

Thank you! This was helpful!

[@pieguy279]

[@christopherbutera5945]

Thank you for sharing this video. Didn't want to bring it to a shop for something so simple.

[@chrisdungeon]

+Christopher Butera Glad to help! 👍🏻

[@katyhenderson3429]

I was able to do this on my own in 10 minutes! Great video :)

[@chrisdungeon]

That's great!

[@qure0013]

THANK YOU for this good video. Changed the bulb myself and it was awesome & easy peezy.
Jiffy lube was charging 25 bucks to put in this bulb. Went to local auto zone and got two bulbs for 10 bucks.
Walmart was selling same bulbs I got for 6 bucks but I needed to put in bulb ASAP and auto zone was only 2 miles from my place.
Some one else wrote a comment here that Honda dealership was charging them 75 bucks, that's just INSANE.

[@nujanes]

Thank u Christopher

[@DavidDorenfeld]

Thanks!

[@JR-kr1lv]

Best thing to due, replace bulbs in pairs, so if right side blew out and you replaced it, then chances are, the left will soon follow, I replace noth sides and keep the good one for a quick a spare plus it gives me the proper name and size bulb, I keep in glove box, if you get pulled over, you can show the POLICE OFFICER that you have the bulb but not the tool to take apart, you hot to borrow from your friends or father to replace it. Or your just gonna buy a cheap set so incase, then you can fix it, the garage wants $30 for a $1,99 2 pack of bulbs, it should keep you from a ticket or a fix it warning, just verbal now. Just don't have or due drugs so it hives them a reason to search your car, if you due, then you deserve it then. That's a ticket and car search if they smell it or know you. Stay safe and off the dope.
