The diode kit I recommend the most for vehicles like your 2011 Honda CR-V is the Roadmaster Diode kit part # RM-15247 actually. This kit comes with the diodes needed to wire your CR-V for combined turn signals plus a connector to mount to the front of your vehicle and a coiled umbilical extension wire with a 7-way on it to attach to your tow vehicle.

This kit is essentially the # RM-154 with an the umbilical cable plus connector for front of vehicle. I attached an install video for this kit that shows it installing on a 2011 CR-V just like yours.

The part # 154-792-118158 would be for if you wanted to wire up your vehicle so that the turn signals functioned separately from the brake lights. This would be a bit more involved so it's not the route I typically recommend.
