  1. they tap into any wire in the cab or engine bay
  2. Shit...here I am trying to get rid of these pointless led lights...
  3. In a 2012, there is a section under centerconsole that you will have to cut to completely remove the carpet without removing the whole dash.
  4. In time it will slowly melt the plastic. Resistors always run really hot
  5. Because once you get bored of it you can revert back to it. Permanent looks and a temp solution.
  6. What year? I had my whole 2013 interior gutter and you will have to cut a piece to get it out completely
  7. Everything above the black is leaking into oncoming traffic. Also, lighting references should be done 50ft from a wall.
  8. to be "headlight junkie" correct, a retrofit is taking out the halogen projector and swapping in the correct HID/LED projector. This is the correct way to run HID/LED setups. Changing bulbs is not a retrofit of any sort, it's just adding PNP (Plug and Play) HID/LED bulbs into housing. adding PNP HIDs to a Halogen projector gives you average results. nowhere near as bad as stuffing them into basic Halogen reflective housings. contrary to what your eyes thing they see, when you add PNP HID/LED to Halogen lights it creates more foreground lighting, which makes your eyes/brain think they are better. Yes, they are brighter but your Halogen bulb had more USABLE light. For example, everyone's eyes are different and everyone wears different glasses. Well, your headlight bulbs are your eyes and the projectors are the glasses, each one is designed for the correct bulb to work "properly." When taking pics of a retrofit you should be able to see the cutoff beam. A PNP kit cannot mimic this.
  9. you got a hell of a deal, most paid wraps run $2,500-$3,500. Though if they would have removed the spoiler it would have allowed for a cleaner wrap of it.
  10. I've always said that OEM LED will surpass HID but it hasnt yet and plug and play LED bulbs is like selling oxygen to humans
  11. Actually all the honda/acura mini squares suck but win cool points for looks. Seems like the murano has best led right now
  12. Not true. There are 3 different types of projectors. Halogen, HID and LED all are made to work with the correct bulb. Putting the wrong bulb in, turns you into that person driving down the road throwing glaring light at everyone. Granted a projector housing glare is not as bad as putting HID/LED into non projector housings.
  13. I totally agree but a drop in led will never surpass an actual oem led setup
  14. People are still trying to put LEDs into halogen lights?
  15. Took some pics at my sons soccer game today, dipped the stock 20s and 3m black metallic vinyl over the orange reflector on headlights
  16. I started with 5ftx1ft sheets. Best thing to do is just start taking stuff apart. Pull lightly on pieces and see where they are tight. If no visible bolts then its just clips. The wrapping isnt hard. Exacto knife with LOTS of extra blades, retractable blades. Never apply heat and stretch at the same time
  17. it's not too hard actually. did all this my first time ever. steering wheel is finished now though
  18. Just noticed the link didnt post
  19. Lots of photos from Korea and the Philippines last year
