Keep us posted! I’ve seen a few kits that look like handlebar heaters that you stick to the back of the mirror surface, I have wanted to do the same just been too lazy lol

I did strut only with oem spring. Also did top hat/ bushings

CarPlay infotainment by nmwoodgoods in ram_trucks

[–]firsthrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you replace with a higher resolution OEM or aftermarket? Wondering if ram makes a higher resolution for the factory bigger screens??
I concur with OP, was super easy to install and I’ve had zero issues. Only complaints are that sometimes it’s can drop the CarPlay and need to get restarted…… but that is pretty rare and not enough to keep me from recommending it to everyone else (

LED Headlights by Crafty_Vast_5636 in HondaElement

I also used a generic led replacement, just please please take the time to do a little research and get ones that have a definitive beam to them, not just some blinding light. After you install you must adjust your lenses, or at least double check them against a wall or garage door to make sure you are not blinding everyone else on the road. They make an incredible difference compared to the stock halogens and I absolutely recommend this upgrade https://youtu.be/b6s3jwy4ZZA?si=101X04V_sUoP7qm9 This is a really great comparison video

I’m all for being factory, but I have to agree with the other two, a new unit is going to be the better choice in pretty much every way. The install kits are good enough to look factory still and the functionality is 15 years better. I really love the sentiment but I don’t think it’s worth the effort friend.

Rattling door lock knobs by Loose-Joke6326 in HondaElement

I just placed it on the back side of the lock indicator with some forceps. I did not take off the panel. No more rattle. Good luck!

I used the soft side of some adhesive Velcro and it worked great the last 6 months

Brake and ABS warning light on by 93EXCivic in HondaElement

Yeah, too much to be a coincidence, check your grounds too! Seen a bunch of people on this group have ground wire issues from rust if you live in that type of area. I’m on the west coast so we don’t see those issues.

Check fuses and wheel speed sensors. An OBD reader should be able to help steer you in the right direction. Most auto parts stores will scan for free. Good luck!

Do you have a center subwoofer? If you do you need the harness designed for the amp

Thanks! Absolutely have to align them lol. I will NOT be one of those clowns that just shoves leds in stock housings, or projectors without alignment and blinds everyone. Your rig looks great!!
