[@bikerhomeboy]

Some clown had you taking the whole fender well under and he never popped the housing out. But you sir went about it a smart and simple way and thank you.

Just saw mine was full of water and need to get it out. You sir, are amazing. Thank you

[@doolanbrian]

God I’m glad it was helpful so !!

[@bruceyourface8330]

Hi Brian! Love the vid. Just a question. Can you replace them with LED Bulb? If yes, what specification?

[@doolanbrian]

You can replace them with LEDs, but none made by Honda, but if you go into eBay, you can find aftermarket ones🙂🙂

[@mkinitcpio]

thanks very helpful for replacing the outer housing of one of my blinker that mysteriously disappeared with the noname parts i ordered off amazon

[@doolanbrian]

Glad this helped , thanks for watching !!!

[@hollter]

Brilliant. That's saved me £244 that the Honda main dealer wanted to charge me!

[@doolanbrian]

Nice one, glad this helped!

[@ronbobo8772]

I was quoted £ 27.00 from Stoneacre.

Came in useful when I had to do this today to dry mine out. Another useful video. Cheers.

Nice one Charles, thank you for watching!

[@princepsionic]

thanks buddy, just bought my first civic 2020, this may serve as backup side marker

[@doolanbrian]

Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching

[@provrorsbarn]

Mine where glued on by the factory! So fun!

[@doolanbrian]

Yikes 😳 never came across that before .. did you purchase the vehicle new?

[@provrorsbarn]

@@doolanbrian Naw I bought it second hand.

[@doolanbrian]

@@provrorsbarn okay, I would imagine the previous owner has bonded them or glued them as they never get glued in the factory, did you manage to get them out?

[@provrorsbarn]

@@doolanbrian Yea no worries it just took a bit long because I got confused why they didnt release. But pretty sure they where glued from the factory. The bulbs where originals.

[@rapidtightgroup]

Helped me a ton today mate….many thanks for the video …..🤓👍

Glad you got sorted!

[@CarlosMendezCarlos-mr7ib]

Does it work for the 2016 also this way? I think it does

[@doolanbrian]

Did you have the generation 10 in 2016 in your country, if you are in the USA then I think you did

[@mikemaou8]

Thank you! Easy fix. Any chance do you know what bulb is needed as mine have both packed in?

[@doolanbrian]

@@mikemaou8 it’s the same bulb as you would use for your license plates in your rear bumper👍

[@upbeatmantis86]

Can it be reach vis the fend gaps through the engine bay, or its better to go through the wheel arch?

[@doolanbrian]

It would be too difficult to go through the engine bay, so this method is the most accessible👍🙂

[@smarterthenyou001]

hey random question but I had the clear part the outer case come off today just wondering if I should glue it back down ?

[@doolanbrian]

@@smarterthenyou001 it’s really common unfortunately they do come apart overtime so you could glue it back on to the indicator section. Just make sure you don’t glue onto the body of the car! eventually it probably will come apart again though so it’s better to replace

[@russc5269]

Mine seem loose. Both sides. Not sure if the clips are broken. Not had chance to look. They haven't fallen off but feel wobbly if that makes sense

[@doolanbrian]

They can be marginally loose, but if it’s unsightly, then you might have broken clips, strip them out and see if the clios are damaged. I suppose is the best thing!

[@bruceyourface8330]

Hi bro, can you make a video on how to change the rear license plate light on the Civic FC?

[@doolanbrian]

Hey there i dont have an FC on site right now to do this.. but hopefully soon. Just to make sure when you say FC you mean the sedan ? What country are you in ??

[@bruceyourface8330]

@@doolanbrian Yes! The 10th Gen Sedan Civic. I appreciate your vids, Brian! helpful and informative.

[@wesleyt2607]

Jus wondering if that's a functioning blinker or jus a hazard thing half lights on kinda light

[@doolanbrian]

It’s basically just a parking light on high spec cars and it’s an indicator on low spec versions 🙂

Dear Brian, could you make a video with LED side turn signals?

@@doolanbrian I haven't installed them yet, I'm thinking about it. 😊

[@doolanbrian]

@@wiz4rd1970 I don’t think he would be able to install them. I think you will have to change the complete headlamp 👍🙂 There should definitely be some aftermarket options on eBay.

[@dylanschilstra3289]

For some reason I cannot pull the bulb out of the socket to replace with the new LED one. I already shattered one of them trying to put it out, so I guess I will need to replace the whole socket ?

[@doolanbrian]

Yes .. perhaps there is some corrosion in there and it has caused the bulb to seize in place , new socket required or maybe try and find one from a car breakers yard 🙂👍

[@edmondcheung6180]

Hello everyone, I have a question for you. Can the original fk8 racing chair be transferred to FK7? Are the screw hole positions and electrical plugs the same? Thanks⋯⋯

[@doolanbrian]

Good question.. unfortunately I don’t know the answer 🫤 sorry !

[@dzzyy]

Direct replacement apparently

[@mkinitcpio]

does anyone know which fuse protect these lights? its not really clear in the manual

[@doolanbrian]

Have your ones stopped working?

[@mkinitcpio]

@@doolanbrian yeah one of them lost its clear housing and was exposed to direct rain, when i finally decided to replace them i realized they didn't work at all anymore

[@doolanbrian]

@@mkinitcpio hmm ok 🤔 have you tried to replace one simple bulb ? After that it’s a matter of pulling fuses and looking for danaged ones , I wouldn’t have thought there is specifically one fuse for them and nothing else but I stand to be corrected , everything else working okay?

[@wiz4rd1970]

Thanks Brian 👍

[@doolanbrian]

@@wiz4rd1970 thanks for watching!

[@coconutrat7931]

I’m at lost. I pulled so hard on my bulb but whatever I do the light will not come off. Is there any solution to this ?

[@doolanbrian]

@@coconutrat7931 do you mean the bulb is stuck in the holder?

[@rcarioca]

what is the difference between 12 V 5W, 12 V 5W 2CP, 12 V 5 W 3CP car bulbs ?

[@doolanbrian]

I’m going to have to take a guess on this one as I’m unsure, but I think the CP stands for a candlepower, so I’d imagine the one with the larger number will be slightly brighter, but again I stand to be corrected!

[@rcarioca]

ok thanks@@doolanbrian

[@Nmysliw]

My side marker keeps popping out? I think I'll need a new one since it won't stay in place, maybe a piece broke off?

[@doolanbrian]

@@Nmysliw most likely, the clip which holds it in place, is either broken or stressed to a point where it’s no longer making good contact so most likely you will need to replace one, you can pick up pretty cheap ones on eBay🙂

Brian, if the cover (lens of the unit) comes off, is it a click in or is the glue gone it?

[@doolanbrian]

You can try and glue it but sometimes they fall apart again ! Probably easier just to buy a new one, I think they are circa €120

[@umpus]

​@@doolanbrianDoesn't the clip hold it in?

Hi I am from Switzerland how can I turn this lights off I understand this lights are illegal to use in Yellow colour in Switzerland. thanks

[@doolanbrian]

They shouldn’t be illegal , these type of side running lights are on Volvo and sometimes BMW and in this case Honda .. My understanding is that they are legal everywhere, I wonder is it the front fog lights down low that might be illegal to use unless it’s adverse weather in Switzerland?

[@V-V11]

I'm also wondering how to turn it off when I'm on high beams. it's not illegal in my country (probably) but is somewhat confusing for peoples. happened once at a red light, someone asked me if I was in distress because my side orange lights was on... sic
