Hi Tommy, Can you clarify a bit on your situation? Did you replace HID bulbs with H11 LEDs, or H11 HID bulbs? I would try resistors and then if that doesn’t work, try to use this method described in the video

Hi Alex, it sounds to me like you might just need a pair of resistors to fix this issue. That would be the cheapest and quickest option to test out before embarking on this effort, which is primarily designed to correct flickering while the vehicle is on.

Thanks for watching!

My JScan app does show support for 2015 Cherokee models, but gives some additional notices regarding extra steps and equipment that wasn’t covered/needed in this video.

Thanks for watching and glad the video was helpful

The common name is a siding Block. The one I’m working with goes on before the siding but they can be replaced by unzipping the siding with a tool. www.homedepot.com/p/Malco-SideSwiper-Siding-Removal-Tool-SRT2/100098527 Other styles of siding are surface mounted and are sandwiched between the siding and the light fixture. Happy to help, and thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Happy to help..

Hi Carl - Thanks for watching! There are a number of these style protective covers for the Blink cameras. I happened to purchase one from a company called “PEF” through Amazon. If you search Amazon for “cover for blink camera”, you’ll come across products like this: a.co/d/bvoW2Vp Of course, verify that whatever product you decided on works with your generation camera(s) as they do have different fits and locking mechanisms.

Thanks for watching Vince.. it’s very satisfying being able to help folks on occasion.

Fuse box! Most switches only turn off one leg of the power, not both.

I would always recommend ensuring that the power at your panel box is turned off for the circuit you plan to work on before you get started. An electrical meter (such as a Fluke T Plus Pro) will help you determine if you’ve successfully turned off the power.

I noticed the box inside is a switch box instead of an octagon box, is this acceptable to code? never saw a switch box used for a light before.

Great question! It’s technically a 1-gang box and can be used for switch, receptacle or as a junction box.

Thanks ​@@completepete

Thanks for watching and I glad if I was able to help in some way! Hope you have a great season on the water..

I have not gotten to that point yet, Hoping to get back to it this winter! Jim sent me a couple pieces of scrap maple to practice staining on. I’d suppose a piece of maple from Home Depot could also provide some good practice pieces. Good luck with your project..

​@completepete Hi Pete, hope to see you working on the rifle again soon! Watching more of the process and eventually seeing your enjoyment of the completed item will be great. Be well.

@45calibermedic I’m planning to get back to it this winter. Of course there is never enough time to get the “want to do’s” done. Thanks for checking in!

Kate, sorry for the delay. You might have gotten some water in your porch receptacle.. curious if the breaker that tripped is a standard type or a ground fault type?

Thanks for watching! Glad I could be of help..

Hi Joshua, I’ve secured two boats to the JayLow without issue on extended trips, just make sure you’re strapping down properly and running your bow/stern lines for an extra layer of “insurance”. I liked the wind deflector solely for noise reduction - in my use case, there was an annoying whistling noise that went away once I installed the deflector!

Happy to hear you finished your project. Thank you for the kind words.. nobody has ever said my videos were quick! - Pete

The box hidden behind the siding no. The surface mounted white box, yes.

Thank for watching.. happy to help

Thanks for watching Tony.. Going with the Kibler kit is one thing you will not regret!

@@completepete I just cut my order for a fowler.

Hi Michael, You could try to use the JScan app with your car to enable the HID lights function as is demonstrated in the video to see if the car will recognize the change in power draw required and stop flickering. Otherwise, I would say I generally recommend purchasing a high-quality product (which of course will cost you) and, if needed, resistors, to ensure you’re getting the best chance to eliminate flickering or other similar issues. I typically recommend Diode Dynamics, GTR Lighting, or Morimoto if they have a product that works for your car. LasFit is also a decent product but would not be my top choice.

@@completepetewhat i am going to have to try doing also tried few different can bus decoders, tried sylvania led things meant for led blinkers some people it worked on diff cars nope not the 200

I would suggest trying to use the JScan app with your car to enable the HID lights function as is demonstrated in the video to see if the car will recognize the change in power draw required and stop flickering. Otherwise, I would say do your best to ensure you’re using a high-quality bulb (which of course will cost you) such as those made by Diode Dynamics, GTR Lighting, or Morimoto if they have a product that works for your car. LasFit is also a decent product but would not be my top choice.

We had no bowing issues and just used what we had on hand. You could go with a 2x8, 2x10 or 2x12 for more support, I could stand on the wood we used.

@@completepete I guess I could add a metal support under the 2x8/10/12 to add strength.

Thanks for watching! My straps are 1.5” wide, so, if yours are thinner than that, (1”, for example), you’d need these instead: www.nrs.com/nrs-15-heavy-duty-straps/pywr Assuming this is the product you bought, I might suggest double checking the measurements yourself - the video could be making them look larger than they actually are!

Thanks for watching…. Glad you enjoyed my video!

Thanks so much for watching! Glad you found it helpful.

Glad you enjoyed the video and I’m happy to hear you are on the mend! Hope you get back on the water soon!

I don’t see anything wrong with your approach of looping around the crossbars instead of the j hooks - of course, you should test this before transporting your boat accordingly! I personally wouldn’t recommend putting the hood strap on the side of the hood as it could be a weaker area, but, again, I don’t see anything inherently wrong with it as long as you don’t tighten the straps down too much

⁠​⁠@@completepeteI’m afraid the J rack isn’t sturdy enough. You made a good point on the side of the hood is a weak point compared to the front where the latch is.

The only notable difference is in the way your phone connects to the adapter, either over WiFi, or over Bluetooth. Bluetooth has been a stronger, more reliable connection in my experience, but for what will hopefully be limited usage, I’d pick the one that is least expensive! Based on some brief research, I’d agree that you should be able to connect without the gateway cables In your model year!

@@completepete does that mean one would always have to be connected to wifi for the lights to be able to stay on and not flicker? In other words, do the settings that are applied through the device you’ve shown here, do those settings stay permanent while the device is connected? Do I always need to be connected to WiFi for it to operate?

The device itself emits a wireless network for your phone to connect to when in use - it doesn’t connect to your home’s WiFi, or any other WiFi you might connect to throughout the course of your day. Once you make the setting changes and they are written to the vehicle’s computer, there is no need for the device to remain connected, or for it to ever be connected again in the future unless you’re using it to do something different

@@completepete thank you so much I really appreciate the help and the detailed explanation, I finished ordering one of these for myself earlier today. Thank you.

This setup used Yakima Aerobars, the width should be generally proportionate to the width of your vehicle, but having them be slightly longer is certainly ok.

@@completepete thanks, I have a 2015 scion XV and want to get good roof racks for my SUV and now I have a sit in 10 foot kayak. My friend has a THULE on her Ford SUV. And I also hear good things about the one you recommend and one other
