• Let them recharge – Wired and wireless charging ports with cables available for modern Android and iOS devices are musts. One thing that will make a grumpy traveler even more aggravated is a low battery indicator. And while it may be better if your passenger’s battery runs out before they drunk-text their ex, it’s not your call to make.
• Throw in some extras for them (and for you) – For example, mints are a nice touch. They can give the passenger something to munch on. You get the benefit of passengers with nice breath, and the mint may even settle the tummy of an intoxicated passenger, so you don’t end up with a mess.
• Add some privacy – Dark tinted windows in the back of your vehicle provides privacy and sun protection for your passengers.

• Include multiple input sources – Most people no longer use CDs and DVDs. You need input jacks for smartphones, tablets, and flash drives. Bluetooth is also important since most people would rather connect wirelessly than carry a USB cable around.
• Improve video and audio outputs – You want to upgrade your stereo, speakers, and amps. However, you also want to add touchscreens for your passengers to use. A dashboard screen can also make it easier to use your phone’s GPS without taking your eyes off the road for very long.
• Have it professionally installed – No matter how much you spend on your upgrades, if they are not installed properly, they will look cheap and may not perform optimally. Really, it is a waste to purchase high-end products without having the right person install your new entertainment system. It should look factory installed.

• Inputs – You need both wired and wireless connections for your passengers to connect their media to your car’s entertainment system. From Bluetooth to USB, there are more ways than ever to let your passenger be your onboard DJ.
• Charging – Not everyone who gets in your car will have the same type of mobile devices, but everyone will be worried about battery life. Be sure to have chargers on hand for both Android and Apple devices, and a wireless charging station in the console is a nice add-on.
• Entertainment – Touchscreens are a part of life, so while an onboard DVD player used to be a great way to keep the kids from asking, “Are we there yet?” you may need to up your entertainment game. Hands-on displays are a popular way to create interaction for your passengers.

1. Don’t forget to turn your lights on – If you have daytime running lights in your vehicle, you may not realize your headlights aren’t on because the LEDs are pretty bright.
2. Check your lights in well-lit areas – When leaving a well-lit parking lot, you may not realize you only have your running lights on until you get out onto the main road.
3. Remember that your dashboard lights are always on – If you drove an older car for a while and just upgraded to a newer vehicle, keep in mind that the dash lights are always on, not just when your headlights are on.
4. Use your automatic headlight setting – Newer vehicles will automatically shut the lights for you a minute after you turn the car off and will turn them on when you start it up. If you have this setting, use it so that you never leave your lights on by accident or forget to turn them on at night.
5. Alert other drivers to their lights being off – If you pass a driver who has his or her lights off, give yours a quick flash. Most drivers know this as a signal that they forgot to turn their lights on.

When LED bulbs are properly installed, you get the added benefit of a brighter lit road. Other drivers get the benefit of less glare. This allows oncoming motorists to see your vehicle clearly, and you can see them as well. If upgrading to LED lighting saves even one life, it certainly would be worth the cost, especially if it is one of your loved ones.

Plus, LED lighting has additional benefits both for you and for the environment. These lights are efficient and long-lasting. That means less drain on your battery which ultimately saves you money. Plus, you shouldn’t ever have to replace your headlights again if you switch to LED. Most bulbs last way longer than a person keeps a car.
