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 smile.gif

Modulo for 2k? Hmm not the best deal around. And Modulo don't have spoiler for Insight.

Just finish waking the Mugen bodykit (slightly less than 2k) Will post pic later
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 smile.gif

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

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...
*
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.

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):

user posted image

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 smile.gif

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

do you need to dismantle the bumper to install the new horn?

Just called my SA .... heart = white ... brain = silver tongue.gif Been seeing the whites on the road and they really stand out ... saw a couple of silvers ... but decided to go with my heart. So told my SA I will go for the white which I am confirm 100% will get instead of waiting for silver which is not sure yet.

Thanks to the pictures posted here with the kits and input from you guys.

Car will arrive in the port June 15th .. inspection ... etc .. so if all goes well can get the car by 18th.... really depends on the customs and the number that I wanted which will be arranged this coming Monday.

Really looking forward to the car. Need to figure out how to maintain the white color tongue.gif hehe. The car gotta last me at least 10 years tongue.gif

Do have a great day guys!

Maybe we should get one and make a mold with it. Then we sell it at RM400, also can make money. Damn stupid to jack up the price so high.

Hi I bought it from LYN seller. PM me I will give you his contact.
Hmm performance definitely better than halogen. Current consumption lower too 35W vs 55W.
Brighter than halogen but not sure can match Philips HID or not. Philips will cost 7x (Ebay) and 20x (local) more. laugh.gif

joshua, calm down. We'll see! I see more and more Insights OTR now. More competitor will start to offer very soon. As usual price will be negotiable very soon. Better to hold our horsey for now. icon_rolleyes.gif

Yeah I did asked about the white powdery substance when I first got my car a month ago but nobody reply to my question. I wipe it off and doesn't seem to appear anymore. The rusty part not that bad yet but can see the stain and start to show sign of rust will appear soon.
