I installed a set of Fyre Flys Interior LED lights.

I took pictures and used a light meter app last week before I switched out the lamps to compare the difference.

Before:



After, using the same manual camera settings:



After adjusting the color temperature to be more accurate:



Color difference for the vanity lights:



The footcandles went from 1.4 on the seat to 1.7 (an increase of 21%) and 1.2 to 1.8 on the armrest (an increase of 50%).

The set of LEDs also came with 2 replacements for the rear license plate lights but reviews say it's too bright and washes out the backup camera so I didn't change those out.

For $15, I couldn't be happier!

 

They do. I also found out that the aftermarket ones comes with them too if you’d like

 

I haven't seen anyone actually "triggered" by an American flag here (what ever that means). Plus, from a pure design perspective, we have a brilliant looking flag.

But then again, true patriots drive a Ridgeline:

I kid. I kid. You can also drive a Tundra.

 

Your going to have to make room for another star soon.

 

Sad but we are well past that ... unfortunately, despite its long history:

Ha! Setting the politics aside (which is a no no here for good reason), adding one more star is really going to mess up the current design -- which I think it spectacular.

 

My 1st replacement (non-oem) on my 2016 came with the go-pro mount. Have a small chip near the roof that, after 18 months, just won't spread so eventually will see if the next replacement has the mount. Doesn't matter to me as I do not use it.

 

Hood and then headlights

 

Digging it all man Good work!

 

I’m sure many people thought the same thing in 1959, but change is like Thanos…it’s inevitable.

 

I did see a b-17 putting around about that long ago - wonder if it’s from there!

 

I think anything swastika-like is probably a bad call, but that’s better than a literal nazi warplane

 

Never. Burn the RTTs.

No joke. Not a fan at all. And I camp a lot, for work and play. Give me a tent anyday. So much better than an RTT.

 

What was your final lift achieved with the wescott front kit? Thx!

 

The flag's evergreen. I've got a 45-star I sometimes fly. It was the flag when my house was built.

I also fly my Grandfather's casket flag. Hopefully, someone will remember to put Dad's on my casket.

 

Finally got the tent setup. I got low bed bars although gotta bend up a new solution for the front window flap as currently the rod can't be installed on the driver side due to hitting the cab. Also gonna need to beef up the rear.

Had one of the window flap rods slip out and whack my forehead. That woke me up.

And SugarBear checked it out

 

replaced a tail light

 

Thank you. I measured about 20 times lol. I took some side pics for you. Hope this is what you’re looking for

 

I used a dremel. Marked lines at designated measuring points that followed the curves I wanted. Measured about 20 times and sat there drinking a beer looking at the lines until I went for it.

 

I’ll be working on installing this weekend. Going to fit the mic plug in one of the blank switches I have under the A/C controls. I’ll make sure to post up when I finish it. It’s the midland 275, I also got a antenna mount from caliraised that mounts to the bed.
