I see many irresponsible light kits even in my sparse rural area. On a truck they really do a job on the night vision of many drivers thus a serious safety matter.
Not anywhere near the same thing as other truck mods that are harmless to others.

On the flow through console the area where the tray sits will also hold hanging file folders. Great for receipts, business papers etc.

Default USB port in flow through console

I was hoping for that also. There is an easy mod to run a USB cable from the radio to the console. In my 2009 FX4, SYNC recognizes the hook up as USB 2 and responds to requests addressing that.

Sounds similar to something I did in my Tacoma. I ran a Apple 20 pin connector from the radio underneath the center console and drilled a small hole where the little phone-holder channel was so I could play my iPod through the radio. This was before Aux jacks and USB ports on vehicles.

OK i bought a set of the h11 bulbs for the low beam and the 9005 for high beam, the book says to remove 2 screws and a push pin to get access to the head light bulbs just in front of the tire,but when removing the bolt and pin there is several other sticking down from the top,i have both set of new bulbs and can not figure out how to put them in,,

I did some (lazy style not exhaustive) homework just now and there are ~ 20 models of cars, as of 3/13, with LED HL's. Some are hybrid's with low LED & highbeam other light spources and various this and that elements.
All high end HL's using LED's are projector style it seems.
Lots of reasons given, not all that urge me to own them.
I am still curious how they know they will last longer than the car?
I've only used them a few years on MC's and have thrown away several of the 50,000 hour units... I ask about the wrrty from superbrightleds.com and I had owned them "too long" it seems. I'll stay the skeptic on the life thing for now.
We need a bona fide LED expert to get this going!

A couple of other nice surprises that I've noticed are as follows - these are on the 8" display in the instrument cluster and may or may not apply to the 4" displays:

When setting the cruise control, the truck shows you the set speed, such as 65.

When you have the navigation screens displayed in the instrument cluster, the display will also show you the speed limit for the road you are on.

Nice touches, these!
Bandito are you saying that you can get the navigation screens displayed on the center 8in screen? If so how do you do that? Thanks!
