i would shut the vents but ususally what i do in traffic now is keep the air to ambient temps and the fan on low, it keeps air moving around so i get a breeze going through the car as warm not hotter than it is outside

Well the weather was perfect around my area, so I had to take the FRS out for a spin. Pretty much also testing out my ThiEYE T5e action camera as well, and a little spirited driving. Investing in audio equipment soon, progressing day by day with the video production quality & my build.

I don't notice the dash getting hot,but I do notice that the car has terrible outside air circulation,meaning that when the windows are down,i don't feel like the air circulates through the car good enough. I really don't like running my a/c all of the time and it's nice to get some fresh outside air in the car,but this car kinda sucks for that,imo.

That's easy to fix. Just knock out your front triangle window and put a scoop there

I actually kind of like it to be honest, I can leave my windows open even on brisk days and im never freezing in the car (its usually colder here than it is warm). In my accord it would be like katrina when i opened up all 4 windows

When I have the re-circulation button on it tends to just fog up my glass and force me to flip over to the defog to clear it up, back to outside air, and then hit the A/C button so it doesn't happen again.

I'm sure the latter issue could be lessened with a good cleaning of the inside of the glass (I'm getting around to it ) but my recirculation button tends to just fog things up unless the compressor is running.

Wasn't talking about fogging at tat pint. If you hit just recirculate with no blower on then the hot air stops blowing into the car while driving. I do it all the time.

And as I said with my first two sentences (which were talking about the same thing you were), hitting the button doesn't affect my received air temperature in hot weather.

I think the idea is that it stops airflow entirely. It won't improve air temp with the AC off, just stops hot air from creeping in

Installed the Valenti third brake light but the V doesn't light up when you turn the lights on at night. Google is a mess of confusing instructions. Sigh...

Should have to tap a wire. Try applying battery power to each pin until it lights up, tap that wire into your tails. Make sure you have the ground grounded though or it won't work
