My take on Dark Moss Green

[j0hne]

Hey guys.
I picked my EX Dark Moss Green back in September.

Since then, I’ve been loving owning this thing. For the past couple months, here’s what I’ve done in order:

• Upgraded from Halogen Bulbs to full HID Kit
• Changed the emblems and de-badged both front and rear
• Match the tint on the front windows
• Got a set of Vossen Wheels
• Installed tow hitch LED lights.

Took these photos earlier today.

As far as future plans, I want the OEM running board/side stepper and some type of fog lights like that of the SX (since I couldn’t afford one 😭). I’ll update this thread once any of the two happens. 😊

Looks great. Rims are crazy cool! Can you give me an idea of the price?

Thanks! It was around $2600 with that color option.

Hows the ride with ,a little wider from OEM 245? And where did you get your tow hitch break light?

There wasn’t any big difference coming from 245/60 to 255/50. I think the ride comparability is almost the same.
With the tow hitch light, I got it from Amazon. It’s made by iJDMToy or something alike. It’s a 4 pin so plug and play on the Telly.

Ah okay, where im going to plug and play the light? Do you have any tutorial video for that? If yes can u send me the link , thanks🙂

If you look right by the hitch, there’s a 4 pin plug on the Telly. The lights I bought plugs on it directly.
Heres the one I got:

I have seen the moss green - I love but was not available when I purchased mine 6 months ago. I know there is one in my area I have seen- when it’s clean it so cool when dirty it looks dirty. I really like what you have done - can you tell me about the halogen retro - did you have a shop do it and what was the ballpark estimate?

Hey,
I did the HID myself. Everything is pretty much plug and play. You just need to cut a hole that’s about an inch in diameter on the headlight assembly cap/lid, to run wires on and out. Below is the kit I used, with a 5500K bulb:

I test drove an EX back in February that just so happened to have the factory running boards / side step already installed; wasn't my model or color choice, so I passed, but did like the look / function of the running boards!

I put the Telluride running boards on my S in December. Best choice I could have made. It looks sharp and I have not seen any Tellurides in my area with running boards.

Were they an easy install in terms of making connections in pre-factory made framing holes setup?

I got them installed at the dealership - they had just received them. It took them 2 hours (it was the first time installing them)to install but I suspect it's a lot shorter time since the framing holes were already there.
