What did you do to your FL5 today?

[Clark_Kent]

From everything I've read online, it said to dilute the soap with water. I'll try just soap next time. Happy New Year!

That is correct. You dilute the soap mixture in the foam cannon bottle. High quality shampoos are highly concentrated so you won't need much product.

I added the following interior lighting to the FL5:

1. JDM OEM LED Tailgate Light (08E17-T43-000) - this LED light is a net new light located just below the left tailgate grab handle. This part is a complete kit that consists of wiring harnesses, LED light with switch, zip ties, template to make the cut, bezzle/housing for the light, foam inserts to prevent rattles, and other miscellaneous components. A+ quality kit with literally everything you need to install the light. I expect nothing less from Honda. What's interesting is when you remove the panel and flip it over, it's already premarked for where this light should go (see picture). In total, this takes 2-3 hours to complete properly if working at a leisurely pace.

2. JDM OEM LED Room Lamp (08E13-E4A-A00) - this LED light replaces the current halogen light located in the tailgate area on the right. This is really straight forward, you're simply swapping one light for the other. This takes less than 5 minutes to complete.

BLUF: These lights significantly enhance the lighting conditions in the tailgate area. The lights are OEM, functional, and look good. What more can you ask for? I've included photos below of parts of the installation along with before and after.

FYI - These items are pictured on Page 6 of the JDM Honda Genuine Accessory Catalog along with part numbers.

Wow! Ordering this right now! Where is the switch located? and can you have this light turn on when you open up the hatch like the other light does? Thanks for the photos as well.

The switch is on the bottom lens frame. Yes, it will turn on when the hatch is lifted.

The switch is located on the light. And yes, you can have the light turn on when you open the hatch just like the light located next to the tonneau cover. If you turn the switch to the off position, it will not turn on when the hatch is opened. If the switch is set to the on position, it also turns off when the hatch is closed just like the other light. That was probably obvious but wanted to mention.

Yup, I was going for a matte finish with still some sort of a sheen which also provided the hydrophobic-ness I wanted - and I got exactly what I wanted.
