How To Install LED Headlights (2012 Honda Odyssey) -EricTheCarGuy

I got this CANBUS LED headlight kit from my friends at Motorfiend.

It’s a unique kit in that you can alter the color temperature to suit your taste. I opted for no color temperature change and just installed the bulbs directly. I was VERY happy with the result. I was even happier that the kit was so easy to install. It honestly took me longer to zip tie the resistor blocks in place than it did to install the bulbs.

**Please note that you may not be able to install these headlights into some halogen headlight housings. Check your local laws to see if you’re able to legally install this headlight upgrade.

Thanks for watching!

Question does your DRL still work properly. I have install some led and I got the message to check my DRL system. I was trying to convert and I need something that will work properly

Sajid Ansari says:

How do you take the bulb off without removing the rubber boot? It seems like this would be impossible…

Any recommendations for LED conversion of DRLs? Thx

Hey Eric!

Thanks for this video. This is a major issue that I’m having with my van. I have a 2012 as well.

I noticed that you only replaced one, but I’m almost certain my van has high and low beam lights. Are there different builds that year?

Jose Tapia says:

Car led bulb don't last import junk

treydaypnw says:

Yeah Eric the newest LED Headlights have the Ballasts built into the light housing itself. They use a mini Fan on the back of the aluminum heat sink for cooling they just plug right in.

Xavier Xavier says:

Eric you rock.

Subwoofer says:

I'm glad I read the comments because I though it would be nice to have some main LED headlights until people have pointed out that if you're not careful, you could face charges for making illegal modifications. A person in the comments pointed out that the process for light installation is a very tedious and sophisticated process that insures road safety. Goes without mentioning too with different lights means you might have to readjust the aim on them.

So I guess with all that said, guess I'll hold back on headlight installation.
