I replaced my rear license plate bulbs with LED 194's tonight. Everything was fine for about 10 minutes then all my rear bulbs went out (license plate lights and all other rear bulbs!). I tried fuse numbers 1 and 5 (10A) but they are fine. One of the 30A fuses looks a little off, but does anyone know for sure if there is one fuse that controls all these? The owners manual explains every other fuse except for the rear bulbs.

The brake lights still light up if you hit the brakes though, and everything else I checked still works (horn, locks, reverse lights, all interior lights etc.). If I don't figure out which fuse it is by tomorrow, it will have to go to the dealer! Help!!

Here are the 194's I used:

194 Size Car LED Bulb

 

does the interior overhead light still work?

 

Yep, thanks.

 

one night all my parking lights went out like thaty, and everytime i put a new fuse it blew, i found out one of the LED license plate lights were shorting out.. replaced it and didnt happen again

 

Thanks! I have since swapped out the LED's I had installed to the OEM halogen bulbs. Once I figure out the right fuse # and replace it, I guess I will just send the LED's back to the manufacturer (Oznium.com) and try Superbrightleds.com in stead (based in STL).

 

check fuse 29, 10a under dash fuse box, it covers the parking lights, theres also a taillight relay in the fusebox..

worst case scenerio you fried the multiplex, which is the fuse box itself..

 

Fuse #29 was it!!! Thank you!!!! FYI the manual states #29 is "Small light", this fuse controls the front and rear driving lights, and HONDAMATIC just saved me a trip to the dealer, thanks again for responding so quick!!

 

You meet the nicest people... on a Honda

 

lol..

ok so reako, since replacing the fuse in #29, all is still ok?

my leds are in the mail as we speak, so i need to be prepared in case all hell breaks loose.

 

Yep, all good! Get a couple of 5A fuses!

 

glad to hear it! ..i've since put led's on all my rear lights, and they are working great too. thanks for the heads up.

 

heres a better ???

how did you get to replace the lights...
haha, i cant figure out how to do it :/

 

it tells you exactly how in the owners manual

 

I'm interested in replacing rear parking, brake, and license lights, along with front parking lights (amber) with LEDs. Which ones did you guys use or recommend? Also how is the brightness compared to OEM filament bulbs? Any pictures?
