    Wheel size options for the leaf

    Hmmm.... I think they would look great, just don't want to have sparks flying when I'm making turns. These are basically stock wheels/tires from a 2015 WRX. From my research, the wheels would come in towards the car and additional 25mm and would stick out 5mm from what is currently on the car. I...

    Leaf S upgrade to LED headlights

    I don't want to be "that guy", but don't you have to replace the entire headlight housing to upgrade to LED or HID lights? Otherwise the reflective light would blind oncoming drivers, right? I am looking to upgrade my halogen lights, but have been holding back for this reason. -Bill

    Wheel size options for the leaf

    Thanks guys. This is all really good information. So has anyone on the forum gone with an offset of +55 or higher on a 17x8 rim? I would love to hear feedback if anyone has. These wheels and tires are an awesome deal and would look really good. But it doesn't sound like the seller would be ok...

    Wheel size options for the leaf

    Hey forum, Does anyone know the size limitation for leaf wheels? I would like to install a set of 17x8 wheels with a +55 offset. Would the higher offset just mean they stick out more? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill

    2013 Leaf S Speaker replacement

    Hey Guys, So I got the rear speakers installed. Couldn't find any definitive answers on polarity, so I broke out the voltometer. I have the polarity right, but the bass is just not there. I installed the exact same speakers as phatcat73. Although I assume he has the lcd nav system rather than...

    2013 Leaf S Speaker replacement

    Over 2 weeks and not one response??? This forum definitely doesn't have the participation that I loved from my Kia Soul forum :| . Paying it forward to anyone else who tackles this project. The 6.75 inch speakers do fit in the adapter rings that I purchased. I heard really good reviews for the...

    2013 Leaf S Speaker replacement

    *BUMP* Anyone out there replaced Leaf speakers? I am seeing a few members who have done it, but not finding the details I need. Just need to know if the 6.75 inch speakers that claim they fit 6.5 inch openings will work in our Leafs. I would most likely be buying the adapter brackets as well so...

    2013 Leaf S Speaker replacement

    Hey guys, The speakers in my base Leaf are absolutely killing me. The highs are so-so at best and the lows are terrible. I am hoping that I can achieve a lot better sound by putting in a nice set of Infinity speakers. I would prefer keeping the original head unit so I can retain the backup...

    Upgrade radio in S model

    Hey Guys, I was wondering if anyone has replaced a radio in a 2013 S model? Can I upgrade to the navigation radio from another Leaf? There is one is a wrecking yard near me that is willing to sell the parts to me. I know the AC is different between the two models, but would the plugs to my...

    Fob Programming

    Hey Guys, I just bought my Leaf used from Texas. It is a 2013 base model. But I am irritated that the Smart key doesn't have the fuel door button built in. Was this normal for base models in 2013? I just assumed they all had that feature standard. Maybe the previous owner lost both keys and...

    Add Cruise Control/Eco Button to 2013 Leaf S

    Thanks guys. Yeah I think I may take apart the steering wheel when I get it to see what we are working with. I am really hoping this works out like my Kia Soul. All i needed was the steering wheel buttons and a new wire harness. I just hate when companies remove cruise control for marketing...

    Add Cruise Control/Eco Button to 2013 Leaf S

    Hey Guys, I am a new Leaf owner and am expecting my Leaf to arrive this Saturday. One thing I noticed is that I am missing the cruise control and eco buttons on the steering wheel. Does anyone know if this is something I could add to my Leaf? Perhaps order the parts and install myself? I only...
