Found this LED kit that includes a position switch to turn on the light only when the hood is open, as well as an override switch to force off if/when necessary.
Under hood LED light
Does anybody have any experience with them? I am a little gun shy about buying from this likely one man shop...
The more interesting question is why you've never needed to open the hood in the dark 🤔... Probably have AAA in speed dial....
Anyway, if you have pertinent info please share, otherwise please don't pollute the thread with irrelevant comments. Thanks.
All my other cars have had lights on the underside of the hood that turn on when the hood is open. I'm really missing this on the cruiser. Does anybody have any good aftermarket light recommendations for this application?
I am one of those that couldn't wait and bought the chinesium with fake carbon fiber cover one.
I'm reasonably satisfied with its look and function so will wait till it wears out to order the OEM cover.
However, I SO WANT and lust over the little plastic screw covers that came with the OEM...
Agree with not censoring content. My only complaint is with redundancy. I think moderators could do a better job and have been remiss on these boards where it comes to pruning and unifying redundant threads. It detracts from the utility of the site and ease of finding relevant information...
Hmm, I'm not sure I understand what I'm getting above what is available by default in the FE Trim... But regardless, maybe attractive for other trims, can you list features/advantages! Thx
Cosmetic problem with this is that the height of the plate wrap is larger than the height of the bumper so one would have to choose to wrap it around the bumper in the bottom or to split the difference top and bottom. Either case I think it wouldn't look good. The rigid plate ain't much better...
I like it! I have this same design puddle light for all 4 doors, will have to add this one for the back. Where did you get it and where does it go? I did not see an obvious spot for it in the back hatch...
Baby got new shoes 👟! Installed set of 5 Nitto Terra Grapplers G3 A/TS in 275/70 R18 SL on stock FE rims. No poke at all which is what I wanted. Haven't noticed any appreciable increase in road noise or lowered ride quality. Taking them off-roading this weekend. Early days yet but seems...
I'm in CA which also requires it. However, somewhat unreasonably, I just couldn't get over my aversion to drilling into the bumper, so instead I turned it into an arts and crafts project by modifying the OEM mounting bracket by pouring a layer of epoxy into it in order to create a flat mounting...
Please post a picture once you have it installed. In the meantime, does it come with the flap that for to the second row seat headrests like some of the aftermarket ones do? What is the material like?
I had the same experience only 4 weeks into ownership. The key FOB suddenly quit working while I was 15 mi into a dirt road in the middle of nowhere with no cell reception. Expletives were expelled aplenty. After taking some deep breaths to calm myself I remembered verbiage in the manual...
I used Maxtrax's Universal Flat Rack Mounting Kit in my LC FE with OEM rack. Comes with everything you need to mount it, works perfectly with the OEM rack and holds up to 4 boards. Additionally it has provisions for adding a small padlock(s) to secure the boards in place. Only slight negative is...
