SeoulJourney

Ah, my mistake. That's a new feature I've heard about.

I had something like this installed here in Seoul. Basically they installed four color-matched proximity sensors into the rear bumper and a small heads-up display on the dash. As you back up the beeping tone get quicker and you get a visual display of near you are to an object. I have the factory-installed backup camera but it sucks when parking it tight spaces (as are all spots in Korea). I'm sure there is an equivalent product on your side of the globe. I've been meaning on posting pictures. More to follow.

I posted a how-to on my map light install (apparently in the wrong forum (hey it said lighting)). Anyway, I got CANBUS bulbs and they worked.

I brought mine to the dealership today and they are ordering replacement lifters covered under the warranty. I hope it fixes the noise. I had a Nissan with 150k miles with noisy lifters, but it didn't affect the engine too much. The engine is only noisy after a cold start, that why I think the lifters are to blame. When I took the car to the dealership they couldn't identify the problem. Luckily I video taped the cold start. It looks like the previous owner didn't care much about maintanence. The car had low coolant and oil. But since it was still covered under warranty and the mileage was low, it was a hard offer to turn down. Can I add videos to these posts?

What about the rest of the lights? I'm going to install the the cargo lamps in the next day or so. It should help brighten up the interior.

First set of LEDs came in the mail. Wanted to share with everyone to show how simple it is. First the link to the bulbs on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DHXSSQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B005DHXSSQ&linkCode=as2&tag=kinsrev0a-20&linkId=QRKRGQDOXEFN4YL7 Next, here is what I received: To install the new bulbs, you will need just a small flat head screw drive and gloves (unless you don't mind hot bulbs on your fingers). If you look at the image of the removed cover, there are two hinges that control the pivot of the map light cover (which also serves as the switch). Use the flat head screwdriver to slowly ease the hinges out. As you can see, they are really delicate. Should pop out easily. Here is the old bulb. My owner's manual says 578s. Looks like 194 to me. Should pull out easily. Add your new bulbs. Activate the switch to make sure it works. If not, switch the polarity by installing the bulb the other way. Viola!

If you look around some of the other members have posted on the Triton V3 switchbacks. Pricey, but they look good. I wonder how that Ford had those switchbacks installed without the hyperflashing. From what I understand, we will need the resistors on the Journey. After I finish my HID upgrade, I'll look into this...

Decided to pass on this install for the time being. HID install coming up though. See my new post.

Yesterday, I drove my wife's 2010 SXT for the first time at night and in the rain. I have to say I was thoroughly disappointed. Just want to say, this is not my first time buying HIDs. Over the years I've probably bought and installed about 10-20 pairs for myself and friends. Projectors, non-projectors, retrofit, motorcycle, bi-xenon, plug and play, relays, no relays, 3000K-12000K, analog/digitial/digital slim/ 35w/55w, capacitors, etc. You guys get the picture. I know the debate lines. I know HIR, I know about CANBUS. First, allow me to caveat my choice with a little background, as I drive a US spec vehicle in S. Korea. If you've never driven in Seoul, let me tell you that the rules of the road are only suggestions. Getting blinded by headlights is the least of your concerns. Since this is my wife's daily driver, I needed something less flashy and more practical. I pulled the trigger and went with these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CF280LM/?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=ur2&psc=1&tag=kinsrev0a-20&linkId=MYGZ5D2RPKWNFFXT The factory cutoffs are good enough, and compared to the light output on my other car, this is very pedestrian. This is my first upgrade in her car so I guess we'll find out if/how/when this vehicle will react. I went with the 55W ballast so hopefully the power draw is the same. I believe this kit comes with capacitors to help with flickering as well as the relays in case I decide to wire them directly to the battery. I know that wiring the relay harness directly to the battery is the best option, but I have a feeling that this combination will work directly with plug and play. Just need to wait 10 days for it to arrive...

I purchased these for my other vehicle: http://www.amazon.com/Philips-12824WLEDX1-DayLight-Powered-Daytime/dp/B005DX6BKW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398988616&sr=8-1&keywords=phillips+drl Outstanding... But I like the way that these covers are integrated into the body work. DTSGuy, where did you read the review?

New DJ owner here. I tried searching to see if anyone has installed these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J65YYA2/ref=s9_wish_co_d4_g263_i2?ie=UTF8&colid=3KHFBJO66L4N3&coliid=IY0QYU6EF6O6H&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=typ-top-left-1&pf_rd_r=1JJPDJ2W6SE1JQN209TV&pf_rd_t=3201&pf_rd_p=1780082482&pf_rd_i=typ01 I imagine it would be a simple install (and I wouldn't have to mess with the CANBUS system). I'm willing to be the guinea pig (and post pics as well).
