My Hellas are one word: AWESOME So worth the USD 50 paid for it.

After installed DIY myself, realized it was still "not loud enough". So brought it to my mechanic... who reassembled it. Fixed it onto a longer metal bar (spacing both horns out equal distance from each other), added another relay w/direct connect to the batt terminal.

Now, it's DAMN F-ING LOUD. Ear actually pain if stand in front and I horn. Oh Yeah Baby

Have some photos of the install work. Upload later.

Sharing some stories of before-and-after scenarios...

Before (shitty Insight OEM horn): Horn Kelisa trying to cut in front. Kelisa ignores and cut in anyway. I curse. Kelisa 1 - Insight 0
After (118dB Hella SuperTone): Horn Kelisa trying to cut in front. Kelisa suddenly brake & keep to her lane quietly. Insight 1 - Kelisa 0.

Before (shitty Insight OEM horn): Horn ******* Audi trying to cut left cut right. Audi laughs. Cut in anyway. I curse. Audi 1 - Insight 0
After (118dB Hella SuperTone): See ******* Audi from far trying to do NFS stunt. Start horning... cont'd horn for 3-5 secs to show 'garangness'. Audi brake. Decide not to cut. Lets me go first. Then he cuts someone else. Insight 1 - Kelisa 0.

i think he typo la should be audi too...

I DIY myself, no wires cut. Just plug and use.

Why my car only clocks like 14-15 km/l one? That's like really little when I see people posting pics with 20+ km/l. Emo! But I did realize when I first started it was 12 then 13 then 14 now climbing towards 15. Is this because it takes time or what? SOMEONE HELP!

lots of factor to consider, speed traveling/driving condition/driver's action/distance travel/uphill/downhill etc.

for me short distance travel <2km with two traffic lights at speed <50km/h will only get me around 11 to 14km/l

for highway travel at speed of 110km/h I can get around 22 to 24km/l

nice job bro! how much was your HID set?

ehhhh sorry... bro KevinHata is right - typo typo

Last part is "Audi 0, Insight 1" lah.

Slim type RM150.00 with 15months warranty. Bought it from LYN forumer. Self installed so installation FOC

Slim type = meaning for your H11 main lamp/bulbs? Don't know what 'slim type' means... but RM150 for a HID set is a really good deal (esp w/15 mths warranty!)

Sharing some photos of my Hella SuperTone installation work:

Mounting the twin-tone horns (one low tone, one high tone) on a mounting rail (the rail came from my mechanic who happened to have a spare). I wanted to space the horns apart, by at least 2-3 feet between them, so the sound is clear:



After measuring off, mount the horns on the rail and secure tightly:



Forgot to snap a photo post-install, but here's my horns when I did it myself (without a proper mounting rail that you see above). After I tested out this install, found out it's not as loud as it should be, so drove to my mechanic and ask him re-do (mount on bracket + rewire using thicker wire + add 1 more relay):



VERY satisfied w/my horns now. Sound comes out clearly... just behind the center grille (can see the horns if you squat down in front of H emblem).

Am going to enjoy these horns for a long looooong time

Here's the actual horns I bought from Amazon, in case anyone's interested (can't find these sold in Penang, maybe you guys in KL will have better luck)... USD 52/set as of today: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002MA03..._rev_prod_title

Slim type means the ballast and ignitor are separate unit, well actually doesn't matter slim or normal type.
As for bulb type, Insights low beam and fog lamp both are H11. High beam is HB3.

I see. Interesting. Snap photo of your HIDs when it's on?

Funny that the price differences across HID kits can be so huge - you got yours for RM150, while an accessories shop in Penang is quoting RM800 for a HID kit (they claim it's from Korea, 12 mth guarantee, UV coated).

The price diff is so huge - I wonder why...

Hey actually I prefer your installation, neater without the rail. Its the 30A relay that produce the 118db. The stock not enough juice to give these Supertone the boost.

That's what I thought too at first (my installation, horns side-by-side)... but the problem w/that was that 1) both horns are touching each other, which I don't like, and more importantly 2) the 2nd horn is right behind the H emblem... sound a bit blocked from coming out.

I did a before/after test (just by moving positions of the horns)... found out you get slightly better (sharper/clearer/louder) sound if you space them apart. Also helps that the new position I found has the horn right behind the grille, so the sound is not blocked too much.

(Yes, I can be quite anal/demanding about my horns. Only the best to squeeze the most out of them

Different people, different taste bro. ;-)

For me Mugen is too sporty. Modulo is the middle ground. And for me Rm2K is ok since HM selling it for Rm4.8K.

Might mix Modulo kit with Mugen spoiler.. I've seen some pics, not bad really. But that gotta wait til got budget first.

Cheers on your new kit!

IMHO, I would not spend $$ on bodykits... as I'm more of a practical guy, and prefer spending $$ on stuff that is more practical/benefits you, the driver. Plus my office got damn lot of speedbumps, so my bodykit sure koyak one.

Anyway, to each his own - no denying your ride looks good w/the kit. As long as you're happy, go for it

Ya I did checked and survey around for HID prices, comparing Ebay, China online site and LYN sellers. Price wise not much different but local sellers warranty is easier to work with. Never check with shop though, didn't know they cost that much. But seller did told me Grade A is RM150 and cheaper ones is about RM100-RM120 per set.

Here a shot of my car with the 4300K HID.

Wow, our HI2 with mugen kit is really nice!

I just love the EVIL GRIN of our insight!
