Been on vacation in Florida and got to drive the OBP baby, finally. While there, got the front windows tinted and today, got the owners and navi manuals in the mail.

Put in weather tech floor liners... removed the paper thin ones that came with it... of note, all 3: driver side front, pass side front and rear seat had “pilot” on the tag. the weather techs fit like a glove ( even better than my ridge line and pilot )

Dave... great idea. Didn't even know those existed! Many talk about camping in the back of their Passport, as it's big enough to sleep, I thought of that too with cracking the windows open... but mosquitoes love me too much! Do they make a sunroof "screen" that you can vent your sunroof and insert a small screen in that also?

I believe this is Honda's Repair Website. Have not had to use it, yet. Here are the subscription rates.

That is outrageously expensive! But shade tree'ers need the wiring diagrams sometimes. I remember buying "shop manuals" from Helm Inc and thinking $70 was a lot of money. LOL.

I love those shop manuals from Helm Inc. I had purchased a set for each of the Honda's that I've owned. Paid for itself during the life of ownership.

I haven't seen anything for the sun roof, but I agree that it would be useful. I'm thinking it might be an easy DIY project. Hmmmmmm.....

These work on the sunroof to keep bugs out. Would need something else if raining. Could be done DIY or I just bought them (I have 2 sets for different cars or Passport rear windows + sunroof) and moved on to next project ...

The clingy Klindike skeeterbeater sunroof screen would work. It uses magnets? You can tip the sunroof (vent) it and then even if it rains, it probably won't come in.

Yes they use magnets and its the Klondike that I have from my CR-V windows that work for the sunroof. I haven't had to use them in the rain yet, but it had not occurred to me that I could maybe tilt the sunroof so thanks for the idea!

Replaced main interior incandescent lights with LEDs.

Dropped off the rig for the installation of clear bra (xpel) on the front bumper pieces and to have the front windows tinted.

Where did you get the lights? Bulb numbers?

 

[vanessa34]

Tomorrow I'll be taking an 8 and a half hour road trip to Kansas City. Get some miles in.

 

[phillipsmichael]

Where did you get the lights? Bulb numbers?

I replaced the following bulbs with these:

Front Map Lights - Sylvania Zevo 2825 Super Bright LED (Amazon; AutoZone)

Rear Map Lights - ditto

Front Door Courtesy Lights - ditto (maybe a little bright so I might change to a slightly dimmer 194 LED)

Rear Cargo Light - SiriusLED Extremely Bright 3030 Chipset LED Bulbs (Amazon) (used these to project the light down into the cargo area since the fixture does not have a reflector)

Vanity Lights - LEDpartsNow 29mm LED (Amazon) - these haven't arrived yet so I don't know how they'll look.

All LEDs are 6000K white.

FYI, I found the following video very helpful in understanding some of the available options (for both interior and exterior replacement LEDs).

Looks like a rather spendy project switching all the lights to LEDs.

I'm sure there are many who are spending a lot less than I am. I decided to go with either Sylvania (Osram) or Philips Ultinon which have good reviews and are available at common brick & mortar stores (if needed), but cost more.

Nice, tomorrow I'll be getting my front end (except the rough black plastic parts), hood, fenders and door handle cut-outs all fitted with XPEL...!

What's the cost on that for what you are doing? I found an installer near me for XPEL.

$1,495 and they are also doing the mirrors and would have included the rear bumper, if I had not already bought that through Honda...!
