Added LED DRLs into the fog light cover
EddieWinslow replied to corncobs's topic in Accessories & Modifications
This would be neat for us that don't have fog lights. However I am hoping to add the fog lights (not wired) to my car, just for the look soon. -
Just bought one of these off Amazon Canada. I swear I checked before and they wanted fouble the price, now its only 29 bucks with free shipping.

Good to hear, I purchased my car after the update was already applied. So I don't really have anything to compare it to. But so far I am pleased with my mileage.

Just wanted to point out, my daily communte is on that exact same stretch of highway(litterally, I exit on french line,and I enter from the same entrance from Dougal). I set my cruise for 108-110km/h and get the results that i have so far in my Fuelly. Still new with the car. so Driving habits are still adjusting.

Plasti Dipping my stock 17" Wheels Anthracite Grey

The foam i used was specific for Rim's, it wasn't for tires. So I think that is why it ruined the plasti dip.- 32 replies

Plasti Dipping my stock 17" Wheels Anthracite Grey
EddieWinslow replied to aaronj1159's topic in Accessories & Modifications
i sprayed my wheels black, and they turned out great. Still waiting for the glossifier to show up. word of advice as I found this out the hard way. If you plan on cleaning your rims, after they have been "dipped" don't let it soak on too long. I used a Rim cleaning foam that i have used for a while now, and it basically ate away at the plast dip, causing it to bubble up, and then it just started coming off on it's own. So now i need to redo all my wheels again. I am just waiting for the Glossifier to come in, as I will just do it all at once this time.- 32 replies

Thought I would add mine in here. Only 1 fill up thus far. The two are just so I can see what I am used to (L/100km) and for the many others that use MPG

well its a no cost, no brainer, easy "possible fix". disconnecting them isn't going to void any warranty, its not really going to damge your car, unless you have zero clue of how to remove a battery terminal. 5 mins of your time isn't going to hurt, I also don't see after doing the hard reset, it making your current MPG any worse? I did it not to long ago, I will see how it acts on my way to work and back this evening.

Well what the hell, I am going to go and disconnect the Battery's now. My car was getting decent mileage, however on the highway it will never Go into EV mode unless its at 98-100km/h. No harm in trying I guess

EddieWinslow replied to aaronj1159's topic in Accessories & Modifications
That looks fantastic, this is the first thing I am doing to my car, as I just picked it up. I was going to go black, but this colour looks much better, I need to see the difference between it and Smoke. where did you get the gel covers? I am also thinking of doing the same thing to my grill in the future....- 32 replies

Did you ever have luck with this at all? I just purchased a 2013 FFH as well, however it was a demo and it didn't come with Fog lights. Curious if they can be installed now? My Father just installed fog lights into his 2012 Sierra with a kit I purchased for him off ebay. it came with everything needed, and the dealer installed them. I would assume the same is possible for this car? truthfully, i don't even want them for their use. I just want them for the look, as I hate the plastic caps.
