There should be no problem for using LEDs on interior (non blinking) lights.
Just got to find the correct ones to fit and then the polarity of the bulbs

welcome to the forum. before performing any type of mods or up grades to a car under warranty, check with the dealership service manager to make sure if anything goes wrong the warranty is good to go. anything changed and causes any short or burn out with out the ok from the dealership to change, may cause warranty to be void.

Why do you say "as always"?

My 2014 interior lights are plenty bright.

You can get "kits" from Amazon. College Hills Honda also has them.

Good LEDs that do not burn out in about 12 months or less cost more because they are more expensive to make. The company that makes very good LEDs is "VLEDs".

Phone them and talk to them. The actually sugested that I do not use there brightest LED bulb for the interiour front lights because they would be too bright. I did put the brightest ones in the dome and trunk interiour.

On another forum someone commented that they use VLEDs and never had one burn out.

Another co. called Precisin LEDs makes expensive LEDs that are a little cheaper, but they burn out. Sure they replace them for free under warranty, but those also burn out. And after a few years the warranty expires and you are left with nothing when they burn out again.

VLEDs are built around a good aluminum heatsink and they just plain last.

Also, there are different light frequencies. Some have a blue tint. Talk to the people at VLEDs and they will tell you what product of thers is best for what you require.

I have the interior LED bulb from AUXITO for my 2022 crv. This fits my Map light, Door lights and my license plate lights. Overall, I am very pleased by the bulbs and the performance that these lights provide. I am kind of a lighting snob; I enjoy the color and output of LED bulbs and the cool temperatures when being used. Typically, when I get a new vehicle, I search for interior and exterior LED upgrades. I noticed when I was uninstalling my factory bulbs, they were very hot to the touch. But these bulbs are very cool to the touch and hardly put off any heat.

I realize this is an older post but just replaced the following on our 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid Touring AWD with LEDs and zero issues. I've been utilizing LasFit and Diode Dynamics for years with zero issues and excellent customer support...and no, I'm not affiliated with either nor do I derive any benefit from this other than passing on my satisfaction with the LEDs to other owners:


Vanity Lights on Visors:
Amazon.com: Diode Dynamics Vanity Light LEDs compatible with Dodge Charger 2011-2023 (four), 28mm Fuse SMF1 Cool White (6000K) : Automotive Amazon.com: Diode Dynamics Vanity Light LEDs compatible with Dodge Charger 2011-2023 (four), 28mm Fuse SMF1 Cool White (6000K) : Automotive
(Yes, it states for a Charger but they are the same in the CR-V and these have one chip so they are bright enough for the wife but not so bright she gets blinded like many of the replacement vanity LEDs)

Interior Map Lights, Center Dome Light and Rear "Trunk" Lights:
Amazon.com: LASFIT 194 LED Bulb 6000K White, T10 168 2825 W5W LED Replacement Light Bulbs, For Dome Map Light, Door Light, Courtesy Light, License Plate Light, Trunk Light, Super Bright (Pack of 8) : Automotive Amazon.com: LASFIT 194 LED Bulb 6000K White, T10 168 2825 W5W LED Replacement Light Bulbs, For Dome Map Light, Door Light, Courtesy Light, License Plate Light, Trunk Light, Super Bright (Pack of 8) : Automotive


Reverse Lights:
Amazon.com: LASFIT 921 912 LED Bulb Reverse Light, 6000K White Canbus Error Free T15 W16W 906 904 LED Backup Replacement Cargo Lights For Car/Trunk, 300% Super Bright, Pack of 2 : Automotive Amazon.com: LASFIT 921 912 LED Bulb Reverse Light, 6000K White Canbus Error Free T15 W16W 906 904 LED Backup Replacement Cargo Lights For Car/Trunk, 300% Super Bright, Pack of 2 : Automotive
