Honda CRV toad light question January 25, 2012, 01:29:02 pm Yahoo Message Number: 128034Hi folks. We're in the process of getting a 2007 CRV ready to tow and need to know if we can put the extra lights in the rear light pillar or need to wire the diodes in the Honda wiring loom. We are going to Camping World tomorrow for other things and might get them to wire the diodes in if that is the only option. Thanks in advance for the input. Ken and Joyce

Ken and Joyce K&J- I'm looking at the invoice when I had my package put on my 2009 CRV. All it states is "wire in tow lights" and I see a charge of $51.95 for Diode Hy-Power pk/4-n. Hope this helps. Others will be much more knowledgeable than me on this subject. Joe Hamm-San Jose

This is a less expensive way to wire in lights for towing. There is no interference with the electrical system of the CRV and this set up has worked well since then. Steve

Blus Ox may even specify by vehicle where to mount the bulb...I don't know for sure. Steve
