QUOTE(chris_tco @ Jan 8 2012, 09:24 PM) same here, i'm willing to pay if anyone offer to help for wiring like babysmile  The guide given by babysmile is very clear and detail, I am sure you can drive by any friendly accessories shop near you and they are willing to do it for you for a small fee. I already manage to locate the relevant wirings based on the guide posted by babysmile (both for boot lamp and footlamp/sidestep LED. Have not got time to get all the needed parts such as wiring and LEDs, so have not start doing it. I planned to improvise a bit on the boot lamp part and install the LED on the hatch (shining back down into the boot when the hatch is opened) instead of the original location. This is because when the boot is full of things, the original boot lamp normally gets blocked. Will post the update later once successfully installed. I think if you are using low power LED (and small amount, not a big cluster of them), relay may not be necessary as it draws very small current. A fuse is definitely a good idea just in case any part of the wiring shorted accidentally. A general rule for car electrical connection, make sure all connection made are well insulated, can withstand the bumpy ride of the car and the high temperature of parking our car under our tropical weather. Also make sure the wiring used are meant for automotive (proper guage with sufficient tough and heat-resistant insulation or protective ducting).

was about to enter main road from the junction, full throttle, IMA showed full assist, but the car was not moving.. VSC light was blinking... maybe did wheel spin on some "lopak air" there and the car detected something was wrong and activated VSC.. but, what exactly VSC does anyway?

VSA issit? don't remember seeing anything written as VSC on my dash. If VSA, that's vehicle stability assist.

Prius c is a different segment car. Its a jazz competitor and we best look at the spec sheet before deciding.

Overall a weaker drivetrain and smaller car. that is the characteristic of atkinson engine...the engine output might look small but the electric motor is far more powerfull than insight one (on paper spec).

Not like last year... we dun have a choice... but only Insight. Anyway not regret!

I still think insight 2012 looks nicer. But performance wise, I'm not sure as Prius c should b using the same technology as Prius which is already very good (correct me if I'm wrong).

Last Sunday drove from Seremban to KL
Top Speed : 200KM/H Yes to my surprise this 1.3 can push to 200KM/H
my friend E92 BMW 320 was quite surprise a puny 1.3l engine can keep up with that car...
cannot overtake laa but at 200km/h it is awesome fast for a 1.3!!!
