off topic: LED lights

Sunday Rider said:

I saw them at the Motorcycle show in Jan. There is motorcycle show this weekend, but it is the manufacturers, so there may not be any "other stuff" vendors. I have to meet a client downtown on Friday, if I can I will swing by the show. If not maybe someone can help on Sunday or wait until early Jan for the next MC show, which I always attend.

Now back to topic

I just came across the thread for the LED Lights here , and purchased my LED lights online from superbrightleds.com.

Here is what I ordered:

4 - WLED-W5 (Door&license Plate)
4 - 3022W4 (Map&Tailgate)
4 - 4410-W9 (Handles)

I don't know how long I should wait before I get them. Too bad I can't show off the LED lights this Sunday. :2:

I always lack patience, when I could not find a local store to buy quickly, I always rushed to find them out somewhere else.

Hopefully when they got mailed cross the border, I won't be charged a lot (I chose letter mail this time instead of UPS).

Smart move, hopefully less costly.

Looks like some snow tomorrow, there goes the shiney Pilot line up. I am sure there will be salt all over the place.

After 3 weeks snow and rain, my Pilot couldn't be dirtier. Well, what the heck, dirty Pilot looks cool as well.

Good thing I put the Michelin Latitude X-Ice tires on the Pilot. I wouldn't want to skid into a light post after being blinded by OnHonda11's shiny new baby.

Okay, you can tell that I'm a proud new dad. Don't think I have cigars to give out at the meet tomorrow to celebrate the arrival of my baby! Now who was saying that the truck looked orange in some lights:headslap:

What's with the dirty muffler and tailpipes ?:2:

Just shadows.... yeah that's it. Actually, I didn't feel like doing the muffler area and yes it is dirt as the truck is only two weeks old. I also didn't feel like getting down on my hands and knees in my garage where I washed it and scrub underneath the front (the cowling). Anyone else find this a PITA to clean? Trust me, with a cold, the truck is lucky to have 3 coats of wax with optimizing spray sprayed on and wiped off in between coats.

Tell me tomorrow more about those tires of yours. Did you find you really needed them?

I gave up on washing the cowling underneath the front bumper. Now I buy some of the cheap spray on foam tire cleaner, the stuff I would never put on the tires because it turns them brown, and spray that on the cowling. In 5 minutes, after the foam has done it's thing, the cowling is nice and black. Give it a try.

As for the tires I'll tell you more tomorrow. It's the difference between night and day for turning and braking. The commercial on TV where all the cars slide by the concierge except for the one with the X-Ice tires doesn't exaggerate.

I just put a set of Michelin X-Ice tires on my wife's MPV and it too gives it a feel of SUV.

Wow that looks great. I may have to give that Zaino a try!
See everyone tomorrow!

Scoobs, we'll have to compare your snows with the Nokians.

That sounds like a great idea. I didn't know about the brown tire problem.

Wow, what a shiny nice ride! :4:

THe only orange color I can see now is the side marker and back lights.

Did you move your hitch from your 03 to 06?
