Bros, going to share w/you a very "painful" story - of what happened to my HID kit. Basically, my mechanic didn't install the HIDs properly, one HID bulb popped out of the housing. The heat from the bulb was so damn hot, it melted the aluminium projector housing.

I found out halfway driving, when I noticed my left side main beam started flickering, and smoke coming from my engine area (O-o)....

burnt-out housing... 1 day after the light burned out, I could still smell smoke in my cabin area...

user posted image
there was only 1 thing to do: disasemble the housing. so my mechanic ripped out the left light panel from its socket, and slowly pry open the plastic clear case from the lamp housing (like opening durian)...

u can still see bits & pieces of the HID bulb filament + glass left in there... melted like cheese with the housing....

user posted image
projector lamp focusing lens... in the background is my IN2 baby on "life support" while we operate on her...

at this point, 99% people would think their housing is f**ked, and have to spend RMXXXX to buy new one. but my mechanic is one smart fella - he manage to replace just the projector lamp housing that melted, with another HID lamp housing (taken from an old Merc). then he basically hot-wire them together....

user posted image
u can see the right side is the original lamp H11 housing (sawed off the burnt part), then weld in the new HID lamp housing (from old Merc). install a make-shift mounting bracket to hold then both together (piece of metal in the middle). Taadaaa!

After put it back together, ensure all tightly fitted in, and turn on engine - whaddaya know, works like normal. actually, my light now is damn bright... brighter than before (i think it's coz the Merc HID housing is a proper solid steel housing with a proper focusing cup meant for HID lights).

Going to test this out for awhile and see if any problems (so far no issues).

So that's my story for today - heart a bit pain to see my beloved undergone 5-hr "open heart" surgery @ mechanic's "ICU"... but so far, patient 100% recovered  rclxms.gif

What a terrible story~~~~ sweat.gif

well if you find a reputable shop that can do it properly, then i still say you should go for it. HIDs vs standard halogens make a big diff smile.gif

Anyone got problem rattling sound around steering area when drive slow on uneven road? Damn annoying -.-"

No rattling sound at all, but only brake pedal sound. I suspect the pedal sound is from something called brake booster or brake pump. Anyone know the way to fix it?

I had the same situation and same outlet too. Not sure the same agent.

The explanation was that the car has already "pre-booked" that tint, which I guessed should be either huper optic or cipalak speedy cool. So this pre-booked tint cannot be cancelled although tinting hasn't been done. Funny.

No choice, bcoz of this car is too HOT now, they may think alot of tricky ways to get more profit on it~~~

Just got my seat replaced coz of the stupid "knocking" sensation felt at the back of the seat. Warranty claimed took 1.5 weeks. Got it fixed within 5 hours. Well, sent the car to the SC 10am, got it back 3pm.

The problem is the white PLASTIC thing shown on this pic, (for those who wanna know how the inside of the seat looks like). According to the Service manager, this is the only seat so far for Honda, which comes with the white supportive part as PLASTIC, instead of Metal. So he's looking at many warranty claims to come later in the future, he also say headache when he saw the part made of plastic instead of metal.

So yeah, this is part and parcel of Honda trying to reduce costs.... (or trying to make the car lighter) by putting in plastic supportive back seats. (or watever they call it). He say "heavy" people will tend to come back more for this seat warranty -.- . Or some ppl having certain "activities" in their cars. haha.
Honda if you're reading this, pls recall the seats!

Actually, both the front seats are the same design, just a matter of time, when the seat gonna make noise and start knocking u.
I went to MH Prestige, Bdr Sri Dsara, Kepong. Just look for the service advisor there, tell them your problem, and ask for a new seat warranty claim.

Ok thanks alot

Thinking of Mugen kit + Modulo spoiler if it's look nice, coz Mugen wing spoiler is too high, worry it block the rear view

because of original color (pearl white) easy to fade ? is it why look diff?

how about silver or blue or black ? anyone already put bodykits with other color than white got issue with not matching color tone?
*
I think is bcoz of our car have been manufactured maybe more than half a year, if those bodykit using honda oem pearl white oso could not get excatly same as our car's paint, coz 1 new paint compare with 1 old paint, sure got minor different there
