Sorry I don't have the exact tint percentages for the tints but I'll ask when I get the roof wrapped Saturday.

So far what I've done is:

-wrapped full front with suntek self healing film. Including headlights, fog lights and mirrors.

-mudflaps installed by dealer

-tinted front windows 20%, tinted the front side marker and the clear part of the taillights very lightly.

- wrapped rear diffuser satin black and will wrap roof gloss black

-changed all interior and exterior halogens to leds. Including front, rear turn signals and backup lights. No resisters needed.

-got the fsport wheels with Pirelli scorpion all seasons.

- adding illuminated door sills.

-added wind deflectors

-got front weather tech mats

I am assuming your vietnamese? Crazy you're in massachusetts? LOL. Not many asians there.

You took a picture with your 4 doors open. Am I to assume that you changed your side door lights to LEDS?

As mentioned before, did you use these?

Odd statement. Must have never visited Boston as we have a well known Chinatown and a good rereaentation of many southeast Asian cultures. Maybe worth a visit

Hi Jonnguyen1, for the front turn signal, you use 7444 Led Amber Yellow. You did not put any load resistor, did you get any hyper flash at all. Do you mind to tell me what brand is the led bulb and any link to the site I can buy it

Yes I'm viet! Also lots of Asians here man haha.

I didn't use anything like that link. I just used a one direction 194 led bulb.

I used this for the 3 LEDs for the trunk area.

For the doors, I used a similar type of bulb but with 4 leds on each bulb not 6 like the link. The one I linked would be way too bright for the doors. Their literally like headlights on your doors if you used those.

I bought these for the front and rear turn signals. They both used the same bulb. I had bought resisters because I anticipated hyperflashing but strangely enough there was no hyper flashing and no error codes .

Good luck TMRW with the black roof wrap! Let me know if they actually take out the shark fin antenna to prevent any seems!

Also, you said that you replaced bulbs for your side doors?

Another user replaced their side doors but the bulbs were welded on so the only way to replace them was to remove the whole housing?

But for you, you could just swap out the bulb? Is it a t10 bulb like the cargo lights?

Thanks! I'm just waiting patiently for my F SPORT to come in April

I'll let you know on the shark fin and roof.
I'm not sure if it's different for other models but mine are definitely not welded in or anything like that. You just pop out the housing with a pry tool or flat head and you take over the plastic cover where you see a 194 halogen bulb. Same as the trunk ones. I just swaped them for LEDs.

My door light bulbs, which are LED's and not halogen, are welded to the housing too like couple other members...do you have any pics taken when you did the swap?

You can find full housing w/LED replacement on Amazon or Ebay.
