The ULTIMATE Starlight Headliner Guide! (Suede, Sunroof & 450 Stars)

[@Armens_63s]

My dad has been doing upholstery his whole life and i have learned a lot from him, you could had used only suede any kind of type and install right on top of ur original material no need to remove the foam unless ur headliner is damaged

[@DitoCardona]

That’d make it so much easier! So would there be any specific prep to the headliner fabric already in place since it’d be fabric glued to fabric?

[@Armens_63s]

@@DitoCardona you would spray glue on ur headliner on its material and u would also spray glue on the suede that you would be puting on, let it dry half way then apply.

[@backwardmist2303]

my headliner had water on it from a leak and stained, so i would assume remove mine?

[@backwardmist2303]

[@Syncer88]

Will not removing the old fabric affect the fitment at all?

[@eel6635]

loved the video bro only thing that wouldve made it convenient is if you added all the product links you used to help us a bit. Regardless appreciate the tutorial and attention to detail!

[@ricardovergara9913]

Hello... That's a very nice video.. can you show were are you connected and the position of the power and light supply...

And he put a heart in it for his gf 😢 ❤ so sweet nice job Dito

[@sethredford4753]

I love your videos. Just gotta wait till I get the money to do all of this

[@DitoCardona]

The starlight kits the most expensive part but it’s worth it!

[@aoktechus]

I wish you would post more, I feel like I've watched your videos and then I'm just waiting for the next one

[@stevenreech8854]

Well done and explained top notch!

[@Girlsontop21]

That was awesome. Thank you!

[@broncoramfan]

Nice video. I've been wanting to do this to mine. I thought you couldn't do it to the sun roof visor. I like that you got an extra one to work on while still keeping your og one inside your car.

[@eliyamil117]

I install sunroof in cars and what I use for removing the foam is a simple sand paper or sandpaper block and it's very easy

[@deransanchez3162]

Aftermarket sunroof are junk lol

[@eliyamil117]

I agree with you! Its just my job but I will never do that to my vehicle

[@deransanchez3162]

@@eliyamil117 me either lol. I installed them for 22 yrs. Them camry braces are the worst 😫

Man I wish you would post more , I feel like I watch your video and then I’m just waiting for the next one lol

[@DitoCardona]

Lol thank you, and I’d love to! Just balancing the time between doing something for the car, filming and editing I always end up on the short end of time or just not home. But trust me that’s the direction I’m aiming lol

[@Kimwilkins502]

@@DitoCardona I’m new here great video I’m bout to get starlights. So definitely loved your video. What color is the wrap on your car?

[@sniffer6285]

I would recommend Permatex Headliner adhesive!

[@Yhya26]

Bro made a ford fusion actually kinda cool 👍🏼

[@ronjavier1921]

Where did you hide the module?

[@1.1.1.1.EarthAngel]

You can run the wires down the back corner panel and hide the box in the trunk area, there are videos to demonstrate where one would place the module. Hope this helped out.

[@coolissimo69]

I am very glad you showed how to do it. I would say Dito that you are a pro.

[@michelle692day]

Should’ve done something for floor mats. There are too many headliner videos already. No one has lit up floor mats! That would be original!

[@youcainthandlethetruth]

Great content ill be doing this to my 2020 ford fusion

[@marioster2]

Same. I can’t wait but of course it’s gonna take some days

[@DitoCardona]

Starlights on a 2020 would be awesome!

[@watch-ッ]

brother this was an amazing video man. Imma do this when i get my car. you best believe that! keep it up man!

[@patrickroozeboom6712]

Your camera angle and speech reminds me of chris fix, you sure you arent his brother, chris builds? 😂

[@ericstrunk4082]

Very in-depth tutorial, thank you! :D I'll be adding to my '20 Fusion Titanium AWD. Do you know if there is a way to integrate the fiber optic cables to turn on / off at the same time your exterior lights do? That would be sick.

[@wadehm63]

Love my 20 Titanium. Just starting to mod mine.

[@markgonzalez0619]

I ran a 12V extension under the rear seats, under the rear carpet and behind the rear AC vents into the 12V socket in the center console. They turn on when you turn the key/press start and turn off 1 hour after turning your Fusion off.

[@a_LaLi_LuLe_Lo]

Just splice the power cable into your lights. I’m gonna try wiring mine to the front because I wanna connect it directly to the battery like I did with my dashcam so I’d just have to extend it to the headlights and splice it into those wires so when they turn on it does too. Alternatively if you have an auxiliary battery you can just connect it to that and and splice them into the taillights which is less tedious

[@johnmichaels4330]

You throwing away your milwaukee packout system? 🤣🤣🤣

[@EthxnRhxdes]

bro said “granted” so much😂

[@lordgunther4674]

Alr that’s a pretty sick fusion, I’m not big on the wheels but damn

[@johnmichaels4330]

Finally found a reason to buy one of those auto glue guns.

[@user-lq9oz3jx8g]

I’d love to see how you actually got the sunroof cover wired and put in the car. Since it doesn’t connect to the headliner I’m afraid I’d rip all the lights out trying to get the cover back on the track

[@brycegunderson5838]

Did u figure this out I feel this is vital information he left out😅

[@savaix]

Link for the kit/fabric? I've done one before with just dying the fabric and an amazon motor for the lights, but yours seems of better quality

[@natthaphonnoble2407]

Great job kinda wonder how it’s cabled to the power source and how you got the mess of wire to sit above the headliner nicely, I know you glued it down but all those zip tied sections wired to what exactly?

[@williamleal3666]

I ŁOVE your videos, keep it up🎉❤

[@DitoCardona]

Thank you!

[@Mrc-vy7cn]

So where did u place the led box

[@lifukili7401]

i just wanted to know where you got a new headliner for your fusion i have a 2013 fusion and did starlights and suede but am not satisfied and wanted to redo it

[@spazzzking6665]

From 13 to 15 I want to say is the same maybe 15-19 is the same but I’m not 100% so you can go to a a ford dealership to get it

[@tonymenera4185]

How did you set up the sunroof cover optics

[@kobewc3383]

My guy trying to steal the heys guys Chris fix Intro 🧍‍♂️😂

[@cantstanddogs4776]

Is this on your shade for your moonroof also?

[@rider2114]

Can you show us where u connected and positioned the power supply

[@keemy1boo]

I’ve been looking for one tht actually does the twinkle effect sent back like 5 different sets cuz they didn’t do what I wanted

[@kiwiuza9990]

Hey, awesome video! I was wondering how did u install the sunroof and headliner all together at the end

[@javelcarrington2194]

Do u install these ?? Would love to do this to my daughter's car as a surprise before she leaves to college

[@luisespino1278]

Where do you live i do them as a side business

[@BruceAllentools]

Not that it’s far off but I’d say you’re just over 200.00 in the system and materials after tax and all. Still better than 1000.00

[@bigbanktakelilbank3168]

Man how you drill the holes without the suede getting caught on the drill bit? Mines keeps getting tangle with the drill bit

[@mrfusion753]

I should make a video on my fusion. Looks simalar to yours and I have the same looking headliner but I combined 3 kits and 1150 lights

[@user-hl6cl4kh2i]

the Belltown Hellcat has this mod I think

[@user-mp3iz3yx4j]

Links to everything?

[@srog1087]

hey guys, loved the video. I have a question I'm doing this right now to my car. I have taken my roof liner out and have glued on the suede material on to my roof. my holes are marked. I've noticed after drilling about 15 holes that the drill bit I'm sing it twisting the suede and making it look pretty bad. I'm glad I noticed it. any body have any suggestions on what I can use to make the holes for the fiber optic lines without twisting up the material. I noticed in your video you kit came with drill bits. Where they a certain kind and did you ever run into the problem of your material twisting up?

[@lollee4831]

Use an upholstery needle. Might be a bit tedious when pushing the fibre optic through but worth not destroying your suede

[@jaylenkelly8361]

Im having the same issue lol. Its so random when it decides to do it

[@ariklotia3958]

Yeah I was told use a needle

[@andresmacias6305]

where is the powersource to turn on the starlights in the car

[@Ma1c0l_]

What are the headlights called? I’m trying to find what you have.

[@lightzoutp832]

How did you get your roof console black?

[@TheGangster-uc4rk]

I've watched like 7 of these now and I can't find a video where someone shows where the led driver goes. I know it'll be different for every car and each starlight kit but I'd like to see a general idea of what type of spaces the box will fit.

[@Nodnarb69]

Thats the thing man, every car is different. Just gotta pull things apart to familiarize yourself with the areas.

[@EliC216]

Hey bro how did you remove the sunroof ?? I’m having trouble and I have my whole headliner out already ..

[@MixGawd]

How do you wire it up?

[@ariklotia3958]

Like to assume there’s a way to connect to battery or a plug in from a usb or something

[@t.harris1934]

cool lighting working on mines this year also where did you urder the fabric thanks

[@cijayan]

How did you connect the lights to your car. Do you use a the battery or a plug adapter

[@pikoarroyo]

Can u cut them with clippers instead of the nail clippers?

[@6sh00ter2]

Does the new fabric come padded already? Would you say this can be done over the weekend with full installation?

[@denisgonzalezblandon1538]

No it doesn't, it depends it's very time consuming, some people have done everything in 8 hours with a help of a friend

[@jaycepiatt9576]

How did you route the motor? I have the same kit and it seems huge im not sure where to locate it

[@brycegunderson5838]

Did u happen to find a spot for it boss??

[@Feen4evan]

Does it hurt the headliner if you just put the suede over the original material? I need to find out because I will be putting lights this week so needd to know if it’s ok to just put it over it.

[@deransanchez3162]

Yes. Don't scrape the original of unless it's failed. You're eating your time and it's not easy

[@maickelgeurts1045]

@Dito Cardona can u send an exact link to the suede fabric, bc there are many sorts, and i want to have the right one

[@petersobik2162]

How does the sunroof not rip them out when it opens up?

[@a_LaLi_LuLe_Lo]

Give it slack before glueing the fibers down and just make sure it doesn’t intersect with the rail

[@Urfavjon]

okay!!!! I bought a similar kit where did you connect your kit? my comes with a smaller cable and my understand is you need to put the box on the back so where do I connect it ?

[@acoustictoaster1868]

I haven't done my fusion yet, but on my last car I ran the optics back through one of the back pillars and had the box in the trunk in a little net so it didn't move around, u did have to cut a hole in the trunk liner for the fiber optics though... I want to mess with the fusion to see if there's anywhere that the power box will fit without cutting tbough

[@ganggang2060]

What were the measurements of the fabric?

[@trinityprudholme5650]

Who can u refee me to i wamt order that fory Mercedes stars in Celing

[@Bladeoppscod]

Can you take the cut off "slack" and make more stars?

[@JTFerg]

The slack wouldn’t be long enough

[@seannickson6240]

How did u pull out the headliner in your car without taking out any of the windscreens???????? Coz this is not a hatchback

[@deransanchez3162]

Fold both seats back, and fold it like a taco. Just enough to get it out

1:38 bro 450 is not 50% more then 300 unless I just heard it wrong but even the subtitles say 50%

[@rylanparker6955]

50% of 300 is 150. To do 50% more, you need to add that 150 to 300. 300 + 150 = 450.

[@dillonwestgate1625]

clean 🧽 fusion! totally the reason im working on mine! definitely will be doing this in the near future! is it hard to take out or reinstall the headliner?

[@DitoCardona]

To bring it down it’s more just a lot of parts you have to undo/remove but that can be done in about half an hour. The harder part is removing it from the vehicle because you go through the trunk, I have a video where I speak to it more specifically but it’s definitely doable as a beginner 👍🏼
