DIY – How to add MORE Car interior lighting! For glove box and foot wells (12 volt vs USB ) Quick & Easy – Unboxing | Review

New cars have less lighting for the glove box, storage, and foot well areas. I made this video review to show you how to easily add of a simple LED car interior light kit ( https://amzn.to/33MbKhM ) from Amazon. I have added LED lights to my 2018 Honda Clarity and other cars the glove box and foot wells.

I wanted simple ambient light that was not distracting and can be set to power on / off when I start the car. I bought two kits to review: USB powered 5 volt flexible LED light kit ( https://amzn.to/33MbKhM ) and a 12 volt version ( https://amzn.to/3nJki0H ). I choose to use the USB powered led lights due to the lower voltage, lower heat generated, and flexible material to mount to the curvy interior panels. There are also smart phone versions ( https://amzn.to/3iKgatO ).

I made previous videos on how to set the theme for the new Honda infotainment system colors and theme.

Adding this led light kit to the interior to match the colors in the infotainment was fun. I also wanted to match the sport drive mode red. But overall I wanted low amber color light so I can see any items that may be in the dim glovebox or foot wells. My install took less than 20 minutes . I only installed the lights removable panels that do not have any electronics or air bag modules. The LED lights are also placed so they do not glare and distract me while driving.

AUKEY Dual Dash Cam – INSTALL – 24 Hour Battery Backup – LONG TERM REVIEW – Honda Clarity

I bought the AUKEY Dual Dash Cam – 1080P HD Front and Rear Camera from Amazon( https://amzn.to/2R6c6sh ) about 20 months ago. This video will give an overview of Honda Clarity dual dash camera install overview including front and rear dash camera wiring. Powering a dash camera for 24 hour recording.

I have a 64 gig mini SD card to allow for 24 hour recordings. The dual dash camera records front and back of the car in 1080P resolution. A dual input 26,800 mah power bank powers the dash camera for 24 hour recording. It charges from two 12 volt car ANKER USB fast chargers ( https://amzn.to/3i9Db9V ). Many of these items are listed on my 2018 Honda Clarity list on Amazon : https://www.amazon.com/shop/sterlingw

Jetson BOLT PRO – First Ride!

After owning the Costco Jetson Bolt Pro ( https://amzn.to/2X8dLBf – Costco $299)for over a week. Here is my first review video and impressions. My Youtube vlogs may have associated affiliate links to products that I may earn from qualifying purchases.

The Jetson Bolt Pro ( https://amzn.to/2X8dLBf – Costco $299) is great for camping and urban cruising. You just sit and use the electric motor to speed to 15 mph, pedaling is optional. You can set the it on cruise control to 15 mph simply by twisting the throttle all the way down and hitting the button to lock in the speed. If you pedal the motor automatically assists you to the maximum pedal speed of this bike 15 mph. Its compact and fun. Its not slow but its also not crazy fast. I

t is more stable comfortable to handle cracks and pavement. I believe its safer than a scooter. It weight 41 pounds which makes transporting it a bit of a pain since it doesn’t fold down small. Also, it may be too small for larger adults, you may need a longer seat stem – a visit to a local bike store will fix that. This is the perfect urban fun recreational bike.

I prefer a larger folding bike like the Vilano Atom Electric folding bike (https://amzn.to/3gfAe72 $800+) is extremely versatile with a small folded foot print, efficient 250W hub motor and removable battery. I use this for my grocery and longer distant touring. I have put a full size rear rack to fit planniers and baskets. This is my daily bike for most urban runs and commuting. This bike has also been modified from its original 18 MPH electric max speed to 25+ MPH in addition to lower gearing for higher top speed. This is the perfect commuter bicycle.



For all my bicycles, I will equip them with the following: 

Folding Bicycle Pedals: https://amzn.to/3jMzoAF
This saves shins from being bruised. I also makes transporting and storage easy. Makes walking along side a bike convenient.  

No Screw / Strap Water Bottle Cage: https://amzn.to/2COYYod
For bicycles with out bosses or screw mounts for water bottle cages. Strap-on or no-screw water bottle cages can be mounted on the bicycle seat stem or the front stem. I have one on my Vilano Atom as it does not have any bottle cage mounts.

Combination Cable Lock: https://amzn.to/39z1PNV
Lightweight but not very secure. Very useful if you are stopping for 5 minutes to get a coffee or soda. I have one for my bicycles and carry a U-Lock bike lock ( https://amzn.to/330szpj )if i need to stay longer than 20 minutes.

Bicycle Seat Wedge Bag: https://amzn.to/3g4AdT8
Very convenient to store a extra bicycle tube, basic bike tools, keys, cell phone, or first aid during a bike ride. I have one for all my bikes. They even make them with water bottle holders now: https://amzn.to/3fgJYwx

Bicycle Multi-Tool and Tire levers: https://amzn.to/308oXzN
Very useful if something comes loose or if you get a flat tire and need to change a tire tube or patch a tire.

My Youtube vlogs may have associated affiliate links to products that I may earn from qualifying purchases. I wanted to buy this unique e-bike due to it’s small size and weight. It was a good Costco Find for $299. It was cheaper than importing one from China. I had bought other bicycles from Costco such as the NorthRock XC00 ( https://youtu.be/scQ0BT-avXE ) and some fast e-bikes from Amazon like the Vilano Atom folding e-bike ( https://youtu.be/liOwOF9snu0 )and created reviews and mod for them on my channel.
