Oh, I’m an oddball I’m sure in that I use them. Most folks don’t even tough their headlight switches. They will sit in their car with their headlights shining onto a restaurant patio and not care they are ruining a meal. Not my style, I tend to tread lightly. It’s not an England thing, it’s all...

STAAAHP! I may get into this! :D

No shit! That’s cool. I’ve been wanting to get into HA but I’ve been content with my Hubitat etc as is… that seems quite powerful. But also a bit involved for what I want to do here, which is just use parking lights (corner indicators) as I can on I’m pretty sure every single other car manufactured.

Thanks for the reply, that’s what I was thinking was the case, sadly. Could have used them last night. Mildly annoying. But I use mine so I’m the oddball out! I paid for that feature and I like the safety benefits of using them too. There’s a lot of acceptance of being an early adopter so I’m...

Pardon my ignorance but I’ve only been driving for 35 years or so, mostly European cars. But all of my cars in my “fleet”, and ones which have come and gone, all have had parking lights you would use for parking in dimly lit areas so the car is seen. Parking lights are designed for this purpose...

Thank you @McGriddle. Based on this post I bought the 10” version of the Kicker and installed it in kind this afternoon into my ‘25 Touring (with the base sound system.) What a dramatic improvement. I installed it deck level, just behind the folding seat, passenger side as it seemed like a...
