College Student, New TaHoe. Pics and Introduction

I hardwired my radar detector using a universal hard wire kit from Best Buy. I ran the cord up the headliner and down the A-pillar right to the fuse box. I tapped a fuse that only powers up when the key is on. So basically, the radar detector will turn on and off with the key. I also have mine mounted up higher on the windshield.... I think it does a much better job picking up radar mounted higher.

Could you happen to check what fuse that was please? That's exactly what I want to do, Thanks

Sure, I will post back tomorrow with what fuse it was..... Can't remember off the top of my head which one it was.

LED Tail-Lights and Air Intake are in the Mail! Should have them installed by this Sunday

I used the 10 amp ignition fuse. If you are looking at the fuse block directly, it is in the upper left corner and the diagram says ignition. This fuse is only hot when the key is on. So if you run the radar cable to it, the radar detector will turn on when the key is turned on, and turn off when you turn your key off..... never have to turn it on or off.

I just got a pair of LED Tail lights and saw that in the most popular install video for them that a lot of people were requesting a installed video and pics of how they looked, so i took some pics while I installed them.

You also convinced me to get a CAI haha:
I notice a HUGE difference in acceleration and extra "power" with it installed. Cool sound from 2K and up RPM







Im having so much fun doing all the mods to my Hoe, I did the High-6 Light MOD 2 days ago, The best part is I'm doing it all myself so I feel like its "my creation" haha

Thanks for everyone's great ideas and help
