I would like more light up front. I was looking for a flat stick on led that I could stick behind the rear view mirror, but can't find anything that I think would work. Anyone have any suggestions?
Theres these led strips i think called underglow that are made for under the dashboard/foot area and even under the car (dont ask) that im sure you can make into fitting behind your rear view mirror with some double sided tape. Just a thought.lexington01 said:I would like more light up front.

I understand, i wouldnt want to do much work for so little with a wire hanging around. This may not be what you wanted but what i see as the easiest yet most effective is to tape a little led flashlight key chain (from a gas station, like how you mentioned) behind the mirror facing down so you cant see it, but its there. As long as it has a handsfree holding button ( you dont have to constantly hold it) than it seems simple. Heck, i might even do this nowlexington01 said:Thanks for the suggestion. I was hoping to find something battery powered so that I don't have to wire it in. I'm not completely opposed to wiring it. Just hoping to find a quick and easy solution. I've seen led key chains that put off tons of light so I'm sure it could be done. I just can't seem to find anything.
I think that might work. Thanks!
It wont work; there is no pre-wire run for this.Maybe pick up a rearview mirror from a 2013 and swap it. The 2013s have maplights and bet they just connect to some existing wires in the windshield header. Don't know for sure but if it does could be a nice, clean factory install.
Very easy....where is Chicagoland are you? I am in the Libertyville area, and have done the swap already. It's not cheap, but it is the best mod I have done.OT...(but in the save vain)...
I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, Love to add homelink. That will be one of the features I miss the most from my Libby. If you are wiring lights in...homelink would be really useful.
If the Gentex is a simple swap, I may have to consider that and sell my current lighted mirror.
I'm just SW of Fox Valley Mall....basically where Oswego, Aurora, Naperville and Plainfield all meet. But it looks like I may lose the map light with the Gentex.Very easy....where is Chicagoland are you? I am in the Libertyville area, and have done the swap already.

I think there is a variation with light and opener...If I recall correctly, it is very pricey. I am thinking about adding lit visor mirrors though.I'm just SW of Fox Valley Mall....basically where Oswego, Aurora, Naperville and Plainfield all meet.
