I have same problem like u. Hid 4300k and small light is white led. So now try looking any white colour bulb, which look similar to hid 4300k one.

Lol yeah get it from sh@rty. I got a cheaper one from him. Then my hid looks so white compared to the small bulb.

Then I changed tue bulb to led. And now the hid looks so yellowish to me sad.gif

Put it down to foglight, get 6k for the low beam maybe?

Could you explain more on your car jerking issue? What do you mean by that? it is while driving jerking, or start stop jerking? when floor on the peddle jerking? when the CVT shift gear jerking?


Added on May 29, 2011, 10:08 pmwould like to ask insight owner, when you collect your car, is your seat cover with plastic, or they took it out before they deliver to you?

Maybe your car are not used to slow driving anymore sweat.gif

you should take extra precaution on the CVT. This sounds like a CVT problem or the fly wheel problem where by the previous honda city with cvt was facing.

CVT gear box is very very sensitive and need to have extra car compared to a conventional 5 speed AT. CVT only can use honda CVTF ( gear oil) do not use other brands.

Previous Honda city with CVT, cost of replacement is around 12 to 14K. your car is still under warranty. so better send it back to honda to have a full checking before is too late.

you can google on Honda City CVT problem....

please, CVT is not design for high rev performance. so please drive ur car like a city hybrid car.....

Hi all Insight owners.. I'm thinking to purchase Insight.
If everything okay will go and make booking tomorrow..

Got few question:
1) what's the waiting period if book now. I went to 3 diff honda dealers and all 3 giving me diff and :-S
2)The normal insight (without the bodykit) looks so-so.. How much will it cost me to install some bodykit. Sorry I'm totally noob abt cars. Dont want to modify "gila-gila".. Just to make the car look more attractive.
3)I read in one of the threads here (cannot remember if it's V1 or V2 that's you can protect your car from scratches. Anyone know what the product is called?
4)anything else i should know before booking.. Please do let me know. I'm buying car first time. Dont want to get tipu

coz atm there are no words from Honda Malaysia on the resume of car delivery from Japan to Malaysia. They are still affected by the order back log after the Tsunami.

ohmy.gif you really touch the redline during break-in period? I guess that is a big no no. Even the manual says that there will be negative effect on your car. you may even void your warranty if they found out about that ( if i remember correctly I think I read that in the warranty card terms & conditions)

I believe the waiting period differ from branch to branch as it depends on each individual waiting list.
I believe the outskirt branch waiting list will be veen shorter.

At the end of the day, it really depends on the reproduction in Japan. Like some bros' advise, if you need it urgently, better opt for different models.
