Total cost for me was about $35. (The lights by themselves were $15 from Pep Boys.) The bulk of the rest of the cost was spent on mounting hardware (nothing special or custom), wire and tap/slide connectors at Wal-Mart (possibly overpriced, but I didn't feel like driving into Houston to my favorite hobbyist store this week). If you are the type that just happens to have spools of 14 gauge wire lying around and doesn't mind soldering everything together, then you could do it for cheaper than I did. I opted for slide connectors so I could readily undo the wiring if I had to. How much were those nozzles again? The cost of shipping would probably mean I'd save money by locating them locally. It's still possible to have a little fun and still meet the vehicle code.

| did anyone try to put those driving lights in the back? firstly for backing up in the dark, secondly to blind people who don't have enough decency to dim their high beams when coming up behind me. I was thinking of cheapie K-mart, wll--mart brand. how did you mount the lights? | |

Thanks. I may look into a set of those myself. I like the UK-style ones (in bumper mounting), but it's too expensive. This would be a nice way to get simialr function without all the cost. The silly wiper lights were about $20-25, but you can probably get something like them on E-bay for less. I spent another $7 on in-line fuses and a dash switch. Typically, these are installed so that they light up with your head lamps. I didn't want mine on all the time, so I installed the wires through the fire wall and put a switch in the dash (with its own little light). This way I can drive in stealth mode <grin> and sneak up behind those slammed Civics before I zap 'em from behind. My next project is to install one for the rear wiper.

Here they are in action...
They are pretty expensive (total coat was appx.$250.00) and require that you cut the bumper to install them in the original location. However I think that they look great and I love the fact that they are original. Wiring is easy as you can hook them up to the trailer harness located behind the d/s rear speaker.

http://users.ev1.net/~aurelio/crv/brakelights/ I had considered the trailer harness for the hookup point, but the wires running to the stock tail lamps seem to work just fine too. |

A new toy! Well, maybe not a toy, but it should add to the pleasure of owning a CR-V. So here's my question... Anybody ever install this stuff? I was planning on doing the front floors and doors, but I'm wondering if anyone else has suggestions. Thanks!

| Does anybody know what level (35% or 50%) is the tint on the 01 CRV SE models? | |
