Went to the dealership and signed the agreement for my brand new Honda Passport! I am now going down to clean out a spot in the garage . Pick-up on Thursday.

Mine have been ordered but not yet received. That owners manual looks really thick. Is this just the printed version of whats in the PDF or something more?

I haven't seen anything for the sun roof, but I agree that it would be useful. I'm thinking it might be an easy DIY project. Hmmmmmm.....

These work on the sunroof to keep bugs out. Would need something else if raining. Could be done DIY or I just bought them (I have 2 sets for different cars or Passport rear windows + sunroof) and moved on to next project ...

The clingy Klindike skeeterbeater sunroof screen would work. It uses magnets? You can tip the sunroof (vent) it and then even if it rains, it probably won't come in.

Yes they use magnets and its the Klondike that I have from my CR-V windows that work for the sunroof. I haven't had to use them in the rain yet, but it had not occurred to me that I could maybe tilt the sunroof so thanks for the idea!

Replaced main interior incandescent lights with LEDs.

Where did you get the lights? Bulb numbers?

I replaced the following bulbs with these:

Front Map Lights - Sylvania Zevo 2825 Super Bright LED (Amazon; AutoZone)

Rear Map Lights - ditto

Front Door Courtesy Lights - ditto (maybe a little bright so I might change to a slightly dimmer 194 LED)

Rear Cargo Light - SiriusLED Extremely Bright 3030 Chipset LED Bulbs (Amazon) (used these to project the light down into the cargo area since the fixture does not have a reflector)

Vanity Lights - LEDpartsNow 29mm LED (Amazon) - these haven't arrived yet so I don't know how they'll look.

All LEDs are 6000K white.

FYI, I found the following video very helpful in understanding some of the available options (for both interior and exterior replacement LEDs).

Looks like a rather spendy project switching all the lights to LEDs.

I'm sure there are many who are spending a lot less than I am. I decided to go with either Sylvania (Osram) or Philips Ultinon which have good reviews and are available at common brick & mortar stores (if needed), but cost more.
