Dodge Durango POV

[strobecrazy]

Almost perfect POV, needs HLF and replace the STL rear lights.

I agree a HLF would be a nice addition.  I can't believe how some people drill into their bumper covers.

Other than a HLF and replacing the Stl stuff I would like larger grille lights but that's me. Over all I like it.

I don't really see the issue with it. Sure it potentially decreases resale value, but besides that it allows for good placement of warning lights. I know I don't plan on getting rid of my vehicle until it dies so I'm not worried about resale at all.

That's my POV. I can't find a headlight flasher due to it having to be Vehicle Specific. The STL lights were removed and I replaced the TIR3 grill lights with LINZ3's. I also added Hide a ways in the taillights and reverse lights. I plan on getting HG2 runners or an equivalent soon. Video to come later. Thanks.

Why does the HLF have to be vehicle specific? I wouldn't waste the money on HG2s or runners period. If you must, look in to Feniex's version.

If I put a non specific flasher in. It will fry my computer system in the truck. Just asked a fellow EVT and he informed me that Soundoff signal makes a Durango Headlight flasher specific for my year Durango. Never had a problem with HG2, can't say the same with Feniex... Uploading video as we speak.

HG2 runners suck and are not worth the money. For $800 those stupid things cost you could get some Whelem M series grill lights, a pair of SOS intersectors and something in the rear cargo windows.

He speaks the truth. A buddy of mine had a Durango that he bought a standard headlight flasher for without doing research. It had a disclaimer in the box specifically stating that it could not be used on Dodge Durangos.

Pov Setup Revised: http://youtu.be/9qqEANwLXF8

Slow down the HAWs and sync them to an X pattern or together somehow. They will be much more effective.

 

[HILO]

Not a bad set up.  While larger grill lights are always good, in this case, the ones in place are fine because there is a dash light and a visor bar.  As for the HLF, yes, the Durango is one of the most picky vehicles when it comes to HLF's.  I did a few of that and the previous body style, and put a HLF on the fog lights instead of messing with the headlights.  With the height of the Durango, putting an alternating flasher on the fog lights works very well.  So that is my suggestion.

 

[Dwrek427]

The Hide a ways are 2 different brands so I can't sync then per say but I will find a much more effect pattern. I like the idea of wiring up the fogs to a hlf. I will look into it.

as far as a HLF i think the fog lights are a poor place for them. Think about the reflector buckets. a fog light reflector just disperses light everywhere. A high beam reflector bucket aims the light specifically higher and further. The reason a HLF is so effective is because it puts the light right in your face. Our FDs utility (F350) has the HLF connected to the fog lights and they are absolutely USELESS. For the current it draws, youd be better off shutting them off. HLF in the highbeam, or dont do it. 

As far as the HG2 runners go, i think theyre useless. IMO, if you put 3 Feniex R/W Cannons along the running boards you can have them flash R/W, and then when you open the door, they could all steady burn white for ground lighting. 1/2 the price, twice as effective.

i like the three levels of lighting in the front. I would rather see you omit the dash and clean it up, Id, put mirror beams instead. You could use the LIN3s from your grill and replace them with a pair of solid red M4s. 

For the rear, Id like to see a full stick R/A/R, ideally exterior mounted so the tint doesnt render it useless. A pair of R/W M2s would look great on either side of the LP, especially if you could sync them to the rear LAWs (Think ULF external flasher) 

Just some thoughts. Rig looks great so far 

 

[Eric1249]

I have to agree with Storm.  Larger grille lights and no dash light would clean the front up.  Can you use and external flasher with the HAWS you have in the tails?
