Are you sure it’s not the beep you get when a favorite song you selected comes on?

there is a guy on the "Dodge Journey Nation" facebook page that has unlocked all the SRT menus on his 8.4 uConnect screen.  if anyone wants to have a look check it out on that facebook page.  it looks like a kinda cool mod.  just buy some cable (not sure which one) and download the Multiecuscan 4.0 software and load it up to laptop plug it in obd port and bam.  he has a vid of it working on his screen and some little info vid of what he did.
 
thought id share on here in case that guy isint on this forum.

the hirs will give you the best usable output. they will be a little whiter but still pretty yellow, but you will at least be able to see down the road much better.
they do require a slight shaving of the tabs to fit though

heres a good write up about halogen bulbs

Pop off the push pins and pull the wheel well liner out. Then reach in and remove the screws on the assembly. There is nothing to it. Very simple to do.

I have them. And I really like them a lot. Really good quality.

Looks great.

I have both and would chose the Journey.

@bramfrank Thanks for your post!  I do appreciate the humor in your opening line/question about "replacing tires"; its as if you had been reading and were trying to post at the same time!  I had to give it "a Like" off that alone
 
Other than that, being that this post is of my experience, please allow me to address and correct some of your misunderstandings from it. As stated, my "Service Now" doomsday flashing was from replacing a (singular) flat tire - not more than one nor a "pair of" which you stated.  To further clarify to those whom have not had a flat tire, this is due to this vehicle being AWD (having a Rear-Drive Unit and all) coupled with the fact we have a doughnut for a spare tire (not a full sized spare).  Most likely, an "OEM design-decision" - and hope you would agree a full size spare would have been appreciated over the doughnut for AWD, if it were actually possible. 
 
On MPG, I was hoping for something closer to 20mpg - or anything close to the middle... which I suppose 16/17 isn't super bad considering I left my 04 Durango getting about 10-12mpg... A Silver lining of sorts I guess...  I'm still holding out for another MPG or 2 for Christmas or next   I do like to keep at least 1/2 tank to Full; but making arguments about having "too much" gas in the gas tank FCA gave us, speaks more to their decision to do so than I in using it.  My vehicle is used no different than most I imagine and my driving habits adjust with the road for obvious reasons.  Perhaps the terrain of my daily commute is a bit different than yours, with longer hills on both sides and a bit more congestion?  Much more valid points to make if you had wanted to make any...    
 
"Running wild" with thought and making me sound like a crazed-speed demon, by taking my comments about "hard/erratic shifts" out of the context I experienced/mentioned and introducing "lead-foot disease", says you must not of read my posts in their entirety - but yet, somehow, you have an "informed option" on the matter.  But that's all for later. 
 
My tranny-issues are split into two; cold-weather-related hard shifts and the more annoying "aggressive" shift program needed to beat more efficiency out of this motor in this chassis.  Nothing has changed from my first post on this one;  It is in "stop-and-go" traffic where I just need to maintain anywhere from 5-18mphs for a short period of time, does the tranny want to take me to 3rd and sometimes 4th.  Its only after more than a few episodes of this that I began to "auto-stick-it" - when needed.  Ergo, I was and had been letting the tranny do its work or what you call "auto-shift".  Its only after all those "negative" results in this particular traffic pattern do I go "manual".  Anything you've assumed contrary is just not accurate. 
 
I do take issue with anyone who tries to tell someone else to "be happy you got what you got", as progress nor advancement never arose from those whom stood still, willing to accept the status quo.  Remember, you are the customer.  Feel free to ask for more and better each time around for your money... You and those around you may be rewarded for it someday :-) 
 
Take your brother - if Lincoln had "felt pressured" by its customer-base about wanting more than 90days - they would certainly have it by now (assuming enough time and conversation had passed).  As you can't believe Lincoln could not afford the entire year (like FCA) on vehicles that are a lot more expensive than our Journey???  You are more than making my case here - you just may be in denial about it. 
 
Further, forum posts are a way to share experiences with others and hear theirs in return as well as have informed conversations - not to try and downplay/demonize someone's comments.  I count (2) experiences you shared (quote - "Mine doesn't shift hard or erratically - period" & "I get about ~21 MPG in a 50/50 city/highway environment") and the rest was some "common sense messaging" with some "far-reaching ill-informed conclusions".  
 
All that attitude does is take away from forums like this.  It seems every time someone posts something they had experienced - that is interpreted as some reader as negative, the "rebuttal patrol" comes out.  That is what seemingly happened here - with all the "likes" your post got I was sure there was some good comments and experiences in it...  Turns out, that too will confirm and make the case against being more active here...
 
At 30K, I'll be more than happy to post another report here.  A lot can change by then.  Lets see if attitudes do as well. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I just replaced my headlight assemblies and I did have to pull on the bumper to get them out. I did put a thin layer of tape on the bumper so it didn't get scratched, it does take some patience to get them out but they will come out. You will notice my headlights don't seem too bright but they are actually brighter than my OEM headlights. I did change the bulbs to the Sylvania zXe bulbs because the ones that came with it were not too bright. Also the amber light bar comes on only for the turn signals, I just had my hazards on at the time to show them working.
