Now, whenever we're flat towing our CR-V, obviously we need to get those signals to the back. So whether we're changing lanes or slowing down and stopping, or if we're driving at night, we need to have those signals back here so everybody can see us and we can safely and legally get down the road. But you can see, I have the lights on my motor home and the turn signal going, and we're actually being sent all the way back to our CR-V. And our diodes are going to allow us to use our factory taillights and use the signals so they come through, rather than having to use those magnetic lights. I know we've all seen them where there's just magnetic lights that you stick on top of the roof or somewhere on the body, and you run that wire up to the front to hook up to the back of the motor home.Now they do work, but that's one extra step that we have to take wherever we tow, not to mention when we get where we're going, we have to take them off so we can drive our CR-V. more

This way we don't have to deal with having magnetic tow lights on the roof of it or messing with the vehicle's factory wiring, potentially voiding our warranty or causing damage to it. Now this gives us our functions that are required by law in order to safely flat-tow our vehicle behind our motor home.

The reason why this is great is because we don't have to worry about overloading our vehicle's electrical system or any kind of warranty issues that may arise. The LED bulbs that we're going to use, they burn brighter, last longer, and activate faster than incandescent bulbs. We know that with these LEDs, they're going to last us a long time and they generate less heat than incandescent bulbs so we don't have to worry about any damage that might occur to our taillight housing. more

Roadmaster Diode 7 to 6 Wire Coil Kit Installation - 2014 Honda CR-V- Video

Today on our 2014 Honda CRV we're going to take a look at and also show you how to install the Roadmaster DIODE 7Wire to 6Wire FlexoCoil Wiring Kit, part number RM-15267. The great thing about a diode is that this is going to prevent back feeding. Let's say this is our motor home input, it can only go to the outside. We're not going to have to worry about it looping back around and heading back up this wire; that's called back feeding. Our motor home is not going to back feed to our car, and our car is not going to back feed to the motor home. If we we're to just run a wire back here and connect it, just splice it in, it would operate the lights but there's going to be some weird things happening. more
