Very cool! Smart too!
I think it's ridiculous that there isn't an obvious ground anywhere, my wife is the primary driver and she would be in trouble if she ever needed a jump. This works for the air compressor and jumper cables.

Looks great. Any part number for the Diode Dynamics XPR LED reverse bulbs. Multiple options listed on Amazon plus price about $99..... Also, might you have detail on the Dongar power mirror USB adapter selected which works with the Honda mirror? Thanks for any input. Again, great job and great ideas. Thanks for the great photos.

Thank you.
That price sounds right, I paid $100 direct from Diode Dynamics for the reverse LED bulbs.


Here is the correct Dongar mirror adapter.

Excellent. Thanks. How was the application of the yellow film on the domed fog lights? They don't appear to be an ideal candidate for film.....

Very easy once I removed the fog lights from the vehicle. I purchased a single sheet of yellow lamin-x on Amazon instead of the precuts, used a hair dryer on hot to form/adhere it and trimmed off the excess.

Tinting done today.
Front Windows: Llumar IRX (ceramic) 15%
Rear Windows/Hatch/Sunroof: Llumar Air (ceramic) 80%
Front Windshield: Llumar IRX (ceramic) 50%

This way the front windows match the rear privacy glass, while still adding ceramic heat rejection to everything, a must have in FL for our newborn.

I also ordered the OEM cargo net and Cargo Tray from Bernardi, we had an issue with things sliding around in the back, mostly groceries. Hopefully this solves that issue.

I found for me the covered storage area is the best feature I didn't know I needed for keeping groceries from sliding around.
Any pics of this and how it keeps cargo secure?

I need to try that net again
Last time I tried to put it up it seemed too tight and I couldn't get the clips on?

No pics of just grocery shopping but my Walmart bags seem to all fit in that recessed well and don't slide around and dump everything out, I guess I'm just lucky and the amount of grocery I buy just happen to fit perfectly in there.
Oh you're talking about the storage area underneath next to the spare.
I've got that filled up with an air compressor, jump pack and cables.

Small update, added labeling to the negative post.

Waiting on Diode Dynamics SS3 Max Fog lights to be delivered. I'm trying to find a solution that allows me to connect directly into the factory harness without cutting any wires.

I do not recommend plugging into or connecting to factory harness. Those lights pull too many amps.

Your best bet is to get a PDM and connect it directly to the battery posts. The challenge will be to find a mounting place. Blue Sea makes a few different sizes for tight spaces. You can get anything from 4 to 12 circuit. Match the dimension of product to the space available.

Sure you can, factory fog circuit is rated for 10amps, these are almost half that load, 6amps combined.

What are the startups amps? I still would not mess with the stock harness. I recommend using a relay and running those to a dedicated circuit. Strange things happen with electrical systems when you try to use oem circuits for aftermarket.

VLEDS Triton 6 Extreme front turn signal LED bulbs installed today, I was very impressed with the build quality and ease of installation. Much brighter than the stock Halogens.

Left - OEM
Right - VLEDS

I might be passing on the SS3 fog lights if I can't find a male pigtail connector for the female proprietary connector on the fog light harness, I don't feel like cutting into the factory harness of a vehicle this new.

Just build a standalone harness and connect directly to the battery. Another option is to purchase a factory male connector. Still I would be very cautious wiring into the factory harness. Even if the amps don't exceed the wire size all kinds of electrical issues can crop up when wiring in aftermarket lighting.
