Check the fuse and bulbs first.

Thank you. Which fuse does it go to exactly? Is it the lights / horn fuse? The horn works.

And would all 4 be out at the same time for one bulb?

I dropped off for service for my horn not working. I realized a day too late my Canada and center headlights are now out. Any ideas? Taking off for a trip in the slingshot today to the finger lakes!

I want to do paint the center console and hood accents. But also just thinking of buying the parts. The list price is an arm and a leg. $1339 for the hood accents. Is there a place that has deals on these things?

I am in NY and have to wear a helmet. But I live a mile from CT where you don’t. I usually wear a helmet on the highway to protect from flying objects.

I started with a cheap helmet from Amazon that was $30. The lining is cheap and makes you really hot. I upgraded to an LS2 rebellion. There is a pull down shield that covers your eyes. Mixed results over glasses. You can get them in dark tint, smoke, yellow or clear. Unfortunately no photochromic. They have a vent in the helmet and ear pads for when it gets cold. No neck liner for warmth in the winter. I find it works very well when it’s hot.

Anyone considered / have removed / relocated their manual ebrake? I saw this power ebrake kit on American shifter’s site. I notice a lot of heat comes up when I have my arm resting against the ebrake especially now that I have the vinyl soft boot. A relocate to a push button version and doing something what that space seems appealing.

I’m not the savviest with this so just wondering your thoughts.

I saw that slingmods now has seat brackets made by NRG for $180.

I am looking at getting the Braum Elite Diamonds probably over winter. I saw people on the Slingshot group saying they ordered the Planted brackets from carid and saved like $100, but I don’t know how as the Slingshot isn’t an option on the site?

I saved a $100 on the seat price itself. I have not seen the Planted brackets cheaper anywhere. So I just ordered them from slingmods since my paycheck just gets direct deposited there anyway.

I got the Elite X. I thought of getting them custom made with blue trim but the lead time was 8-12 weeks and I wasn’t sure I really wanted blue.

I put them in my ‘17 SL. The seats on the SL were ok but I found them a bit narrow. I’m 6’2”, 230ish. They feel great. They keep you planted dead center.

I think this is at least the third time I’ve seen this rumor on this forum or another.

Haven’t heard of any of this. I would assume they have production down time just like car manufacturers do where they idle a factory to change over tooling for the next model year which we are quickly approaching.

What are people using to mount aftermarket head units in the 2018 S model since the opening is different than the 2017 and prior?

Looks good!

I am replacing the radio on my 2017 SL. I have a new head unit. I have the Scosche kit. There is a gaP at the bottom. Is this normal?

I installed the SSV rear humps. It has a wiring harness. Does anyone know what this harness is to buy the same for the speaker wire I’m running?

On the same note, is there a male harness I can buy for the factory speaker pod?

Lastly, do you know what size screws are using to attach the speakers/grills to the SSV pods?

Ahh, I'll bet you were the one who wrote the review on slingmods.com about this horn. I read it today and was trying to figure out what you figured out.

I genuinely like slingmods.com, great crew. But about half of their videos make it appear MUCH easier than it really is. The video for this horn is put bracket together, attach horns to bracket, unplug stock horn and plug new horn into same plug, mount, and you are done.

Not.....

Anyway, the plug you mention doesn't look anything like the plug that I received with the new horn/the plus in the slingmods.com video. That's why I moved on to looking elsewhere.

I'm going to do a dry run this week regarding the bolts since you mention a problem with them.

Nothing is as easy as it seems! Thanks much for the info!

that probably is my review! If you need shorter bolts, you'll need M6 x 1.0 x 12m hex flange bolts. I couldn't find it locally and ordered them from albanycountyfasteners.com. Shipping costs more than the bolts!

I'm not the handiest of people but the videos do make it seem easier or some of the items are not packaged as well as they should.For example, the optima battery kit, I had to grind open the battery terminals to fit onto the battery. In retrospect, it would have been easier to go to the store and buy bigger terminals. What was a 45 minute install turned into 2-3 hours.

It's a labor of love for sure.

Here's pictures of my horn area. So where is it??

It’s the plug that’s attached to the horn. I have a 17 and had the Same problem until it dawned on me. I found it easier to remove the old horn to get the cable off.

Also, I found the bolts were too long to slide back in between the SS frame / and the horn assembly. I ended up ordering shorter bolts.

From reading multiple threads on multiple websites about problems getting in touch with Alpha, and even reports of Alpha employees not being able to get in touch with Henry, my analysis based on an aggregation of intel is it sound like "something" is Henry has found a new interest or a different direction to move in.

a different direction like to Mexico? Is there a reward? Time to call Dog the Bounty hunter.

Fine fine fine. Maybe you were right. At least my credit card says so. Just ordered. Bunch of things on top of the QA1 shocks sitting here waiting for me to install. It got cold by the time they got here.

I need to switch out the ebrake and shifter or pad them. Not comfortable. Do you think this will coordinate with the navy blue paint? Only $14.99 on Amazon.

My wife is participating in the design upgrades. I wasn’t going to do Canada lights as I was on the fence about look and the $400 spend (plus the extra spend on related upgrades such as halo lights and led bulbs etc). She just told me she wants Canada lights. Will do.

I may have forgotten to tell her my cart was already up to $800 before that decision...

Aside from the slingmods sale and a sale on limited items on slingshotonly, any other sale places?

Sharing this one from Colorwerkz for flow series halo lights and wheel lights include pre made double wheel lights. I’ve seen a few videos of people who had these installed and have been eyeing them.

I think I’m oing to get the wheel rings.

I got mine around Nov 3. Been traveling so no time to install. I️ didn’t order powder coated

I stopped at the supermarket and a mom and her two boys were staring at the SS taking pics. I told them they could hop in for pics. The older boy, about ten, started asking me questions.

1. How fast does it go?
2. Is it electric? (They own a Nissan Leaf)
3. Do you need a special license?

And for the grand finale

4. What do you do for a living?
