I had to come back and Thank You for Your video! I'm 65 young. And I changed my brake light. I usually do things like this myself. But it was much easier thanks to your video!! 😉🤗

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).

Thank You ! Dealer wanted to charge me $75.00 to install the bulb and $15.00 for the bulb itself!

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!!!

Thank you! I have to replace my brake lights today. This was the first video that popped up. Much appreciated. My guy. 🎉

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

[susantz]

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

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.

Grandmas 2011 CRV brake light bulb needs replacing but on driver side. Really just needed to know what tools I would need. Thanks for the help guys!

[cleindian]

Great video! I followed your directions and got the bulb replaced in about 10 minutes. Thanks!

[CARSONATOR]

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.

[jisseidydiaz]

Thank you. I keep coming back to this video over the years.

[Lawtown]

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

[christopherbutera]

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

[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.

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