Default New led interior lights
I have always thought that the HRV had a too weak and poor interior illumination, and I decided to solve this small defect, and here the result:

These are the "bulbs" that I have used:
One 36 leds array, for the front headlights.
One 25 leds array, for the back headlights and two Supernova leds for the auxiliary map reading lights.

What you think?

Uuuups! I don't know if "headlights" is the appropriate word for the interior lights. Maybe I don't have made a good translation, I'm sorry!

Title fixed.

LED's very impressive with more light.

I think it looks good! I think the interior illumination on my CR-V is weak

Thumbs up
I had already replaced my map lights with the 36 LED units late last year, which was a vast improvement -- but the ones that would plug into the dome lights weren't available then. It appears that Autolumination has added several other new LED products, too.

Not only do the LED's provide more light, they draw less current so that if you accidentally leave a light on you won't run your battery down nearly as much.

Looks like I might be placing another order now that I know about these. One question for euutimal, though: Do they still stay on and then gradually fade off like the original bulbs do?

Yes, these led lamps gradually fade off like the standar bulbs, also, they don't warm and the electrical consumption is smaller, the original T10 bulbs consumes 350 mA and the 36 led array only 160 mA

I used the autolumination "super white" LED array in the passenger side map/reading light on the CRV (required a little Dremel trim of the matrix PCB) and 6-LED "super white" T10 festoon units in the drivers side and overhead.

Other than a little too bluish light, they are great.
