Just changed my halogen bulbs from stock yellow to white.

White halogen bulbs seem to have a smaller radius than yellow halogen bulbs.

Anyone can explain?

Hey, how much for that? so the outcome is OK? brighter than ori bulb or not? hmm.gif

About the radius, different bulb got different filamen position, and the position will affect the focus point, thats why the radius also change. I learn this from the torch light bulb, so i think same case for ur car bulb also. This is my concern point, the ori bulb low beam is very even on road, just not enuf bright for me. I scare after change it will become uneven (can see the bright spot).

I paid RM 79 for it (H4 12v 60/55w which is the same as ori bulb only different color). White halogen bulb looks brighter but its light radius is not as wide as ori bulb. I guess that's a trade off sad.gif

Nevertheless, white halogen bulb looks much better imo. Almost everyone is using yellow bulb, quite bored with it already hehe.

P/S - I almost bought a pair of OSRAM yellow halogen bulbs (Made in Germany) which cost RM 159. Yellow color but much brighter than ori bulb with far radius.

But my bro advised me against it so I changed my mind. He told me Proton's circuitry is very problematic.

3 months ago, my fuel consumption was 24.5 cents for every km.

Fast forward to today, my fuel consumption is 20 cents for every km. The Saga's fuel consumption improves after all as time passes by smile.gif

100% city driving in Penang

Mileage 3000+ km. Car serviced only once.

i think the car needs to go for few service, some time on the road b4 it can fully learn to utilize the fuel...

True.

That said, fuel consumption also depends somewhat on your right foot. The longer you drive the car, the better your throttle control becomes.

Bro, I just recently changed my stock halogen bulbs to white halogen bulbs (same wattage). It will not void the car's warranty right?

use headlamp 2nd level at night.even without the high beam, if there are cars from opposite flashing u, means the degree of ur bulb is not accurate in ur headlamp, try adjust it nighttime at ur own garage.the right bulb may have been higher than it shud be which causes it to shoot right to the opposite car.
*
Uhh, the brightness of the bulb can be adjusted?

Hehe, you got that right buddy. Proton's quality control is a hit or miss affair.

If I upgrade to 15 inch rims, could the wheels hit the Saga's fender? I noticed the car's wheel arches are kinda narrow.

Also, I'm planning to get 2 pairs of Michelin Pilot Sport 3. Are those tyres overkill for the Saga?

Hi wanna ask BLM owner here, why my car "auto lock" function sometimes work sometimes dont? Something like the car door would lock after certain period if the key is not inserted. Any idea?
*
Its a safety feature. If you don't open any door for 30 secs after unlocking the car, the car will lock by itself.

Pretty neat eh

An unknown insect has been leaving a trail of scratch-like marks on my car which is difficult to remove. Anyone encountered this before?

Had to use Soft 99 a few times to remove the trail.

Usually occurs at the bottom part, under the door there? Could be road tar...

No. It's on my hood or windshield.

I suspect it may be a tree sap instead of an insect dropping.

hmm.gif ..reliability i would said jap cars will be better..but if you said the 2nd hand jap car i have no idea, depends on the previous owner how to take care....

I give you my car as an example:

my car mileage 48kkm, i owned it since september of 2008.

so far, never breakdown (touchwood), changed IAFM once (maybe due to the first batch IAFM design @ 15kkm mileage), no power window failure (still running good), but claimed warranty for door rubber, passenger seat switch, gear "spring", whole speedometer FOC. Other than that, no problem.

my service bill is range from rm150 - rm390 (depends on major service or minor one)

but frankly, if i got more budget, i will go for persona.. laugh.gif

I chose for Saga BLM is because of:

1. cheaper price
2. modification , especially for exterior view brows.gif
3. i like its centre console unit over Myvi..
sweat.gif

Only problem I've encountered is my passenger side seat belt. Sometimes, it gets stuck. I need to wait for a few minutes before it can be pulled out.

Faulty sensor is becoming a common problem for Saga BLM. Been hearing about this problem a lot on the forum lately.

ducaro has the worst grip ever according to my friend wor...haha

QUOTE(yngwie @ Jun 23 2010, 12:22 PM)
exactly! those factory fitted tyre of saga are pretty hopeless. worst in wet. ducaro or synergy or something.
that is the reason i straight away upgraded mine to 15" c.drive; even though i seldom drive it.
i've had driven friends' saga with 90% ducaro tread. during wet driving, while braking at 60km/h, the wheels lock while the tyre still skid forward and take
quite a distance to halt. a sign of worst wet grip. which is quite frightening for a novice driver.
argument; can't expect more, saga is cheap.
then, we need to fork out some $$$ to ensure the tyre is up to the mark  smile.gif

*
Damn right. My Saga came with Ducaro tyres and when there's a downpour, the car slides around a bit hahaha. Freaked me out a couple of times.

If you guys are planning to drive on the highway very often, do change your tyres to Michelin PS3.




P/S - Today is the first time I'm using RON 97 Shell V-Power. WOW, really felt the difference. My car's gear changes are smoother and I don't need to step on the gas pedal too much for power. Gonna start using V Power from now on. I've been feeding RON 95 poison to my car for 8 months sheesh...

I was told V-Power is the same price as RON 97 right now.

At the petrol station, its known as V-Power 97. They even gave me a nice signage for using the premium fuel.
