Hey all, just reading through this and I am curious...I did the upgrade to the v-leds 9005 bulb for my MDX's DRL bulbs..and did no resistor and no module and the color is fantastic and no warnings? The lights look fantastic...are others seeing issues in 2010's without using modules and resistors? i converted out all the interior lights to LEDs..and it looks great.

Sure I can take a pic or two. Pics of lights can be deceiving though by they look great especially with the matching 194 parking lights in the front. Just converted the rest of the ext lights to LEDs. All door lights, interior and trunk lights. I also added running board LED lights on the boards. They are my unique touch. Just dropped in 5k Hids in the fogs this morning. Will post pics this week when I can.

Actually I recently removed the DRL modules and resistors. I did notice a drop in lumens. The DRL modules housing fell apart, shorted, and blew my DRL fuse. If I had to do it again I would silicone the DRL module or put some electrical tape around it housing before installing it. After reviewing the housing I noticed that it was pretty filmy and only had 4 little dabs of silicone on each corner.

well not sure what you all have but i put the LED's in with no other changes...no message from the car..and perfectly acceptable output from the DRLs...heck they look great. I only wish i got the 5K bulbs instead of 6K...then they would match my parking lights better.

If your using the same bulb we are then yes you need to replace both bulbs. I got the same result when I was installing them a while back.

I guess your using some other brand of LEDS? The LEDS I used were from V-Leds,

Hi guys, the LED lights look awesome!
Are the bulbs the same in the 07 MDX? (reverse lights, fog, daytime, and parking lights?)
I've been contemplating the change but I was afraid of melting the housing in some areas...
db22 - where did you get your LED's from?

Both the DRL and Fog replacement were plug n play. Getting to them were tight and had to take a few panels off but it was worth the hour IMO. I replaced both the fogs and DRL w/5k lights. Fogs are a bit less effective b/c fog's should really be in the 3k range for effectiveness but I was going more for looks. They are still bright but not as effective in foggy situations (which are few where we live).
Here are the fogs and DRL's I bought. The fogs are the H11 bulbs and the DRL is the 9005 bulb.

I also replaced the footwell, cargo, and license plate lights.

In replacing the license plate lights, did you notice an improvement in the quality/visibility of the back-up camera at night?? I have been contemplating replacing the license plate lights and/or reverse lights to help get better visibility at night with the back up camera. Quality is quite poor and may be due to camera placement and OEM lighting. Thanks!!

Hey guys,
Just out of curiosity, can someone tell me the benefits of purchasing led's from V-led.com when they sell them for a fraction of the cost on ebay? Just wondering if the huge price gap is actually worth it? I'm looking to replace the parking light, drl, backup light.
Thanks.

Hey guys,
I'm looking to replace my oem bulbs with led from v-led.com. Can someone tell me which specific leds they went with for the following application? I notice that they sell them in different shapes/size/lighting angles etc. Just want to be sure I'm getting the right one.
- license plate light
- door lights
- bottom of the door lights
- interior lights
I've also been doing a lot of reading and am still determining if I want to go with the led drl's since they're so expensive and on top of that sounds like you need the module, resistor, and maybe a relay harness just to get it to work right? I might just put in a 5000k filament bulb or something "easier."
Thanks!

Regarding replacing the license plate bulbs- what's the trick to releasing the black strip in the vicinity Of the back up camera?? I have removed all screws, replaced the driver's side bulb & removed the outer case over the camera. The camera is exposed and the black strip loose everywhere except in the immediate vicinity of the camera. What Kim of clips are holding that in? Is the camera unit connected to the black strip- so when I pull it down the camera will be hanging by a wire?? OR will the black strip come down around the camera, leaving the camera in place? I just don't want to break the camera to put in some cheap, albeit good looking, light bulbs... THANKS!!

Can you provide links or bulbs numbers for each bulb you replaced please? The links in this thread to v-leds.com and other site are all dead now...
Ultimately I want to swap out all interior lights, license plate, fog and DRL for 2009 mdx.
Thank you!
