LED is add on.... Price RM$1,900...with LED The LED only come ON when open door and follow the light timing inside the car.... They open the bottom compartment (driver seat) and open up a wire to attach the LED wire together. That's how it follow the light timing inside the car. Second photo is the LED Sensor light for the trunk. Very useful. Light on base on movement even when you open the boot. Didn't know ACE is selling it (RM$59).

New Member Junior Member 32 posts Joined: Feb 2007 From: Ampang	Wooo...test drive Toyota Prius yesterday...not bad especially start engine (no sound) but Insight much more comfortable... Probably leather seat Very quiet indeed but when you accelerate, you can hear the engine roaring a bit...don't like the sound...prefer insight more... Ask the salesman about the incident in Kerinchi highway where prius caught fire(first in the world). It is because that fella change the radio into navi radio cum touch screen. Somehow the wiring touch the high voltage and caught fire I think. Salesman no comment Did check the engine bonnet, very complex. Not as simple as insight. Modification is hard and at your own risk as the generator is beside the engine(High Voltage). Still prefer insight...sportier...easier to mod and comfortable... That's my opinion....

Oh, ya talking of distance Prius air cond is one of a kind...Can work even engine idle or stop... Very cold indeed and powerful...doesn't use radiator coolant...use wind/air...that's what salesman told me... another Toyota technology... Don't worry, insight dashboard is much much better than Nissan Teana.... 70K++ different Did test drive but not me...My bro did... Me seat back seat and watch...

Just got my insight beginning of October. Browse thru V1, V2, V3 & V4. Can PM me the address or the shop name to install the daylight...looks cool, compact and fit. Thanks. Added on November 2, 2011, 1:54 am QUOTE(devinz @ Oct 31 2011, 05:48 PM) The "Blue" day light you are referring are done at KL Auto. Checked it out the other day, look nice in pic, perfect fit, but in real look a bit out of place under naked eye. Drop by KLAUTO and check it out if it fits your eyes. Yes, you are right. I did look closely at the right side photo of the daylight. Is not fit and came out a little. Thanks for the comment. Added on November 2, 2011, 1:57 am QUOTE(chizzu @ Oct 31 2011, 11:47 PM) Alright guys its easier to keep the list centralised in a single place. I have created a google form so you guys and gals can fill it in and see the result If there is anything else to add please let me know or anyone can provide me with a list of places? northern, central, south and borneo region maybe? P/S: it also show the demographic in pie chart in the summary page Nice list... This post has been edited by jtlim98: Nov 2 2011, 01:57 AM

I think there's a track log where it will tell us what mileage we should do the maintenance. Apparently service center didn't reset for me. Mine was at 14k maintenance reset, actual mileage now is 26k. It displays next reset should be at 40k. Anyway, yet to try out any difference Mine, I did 1K maintenance...no wonder there is some improvement on fuel efficiency. Before that full tank around 400-420. Now more than that. Must be the reset probably CVTF... This post has been edited by jtlim98: Nov 7 2011, 11:13 PM

Since it is working, I put double bootlight. Attach photo on how to DIY. Doesn't scratch the plastic, don't worry. Need some drilling on the plastic hole(light) so that cable tie can pass thru. If you can fine the small one(cable tie) that will work... Since I bought the wrong LED (DOT-IT), might as well use it as backup. Just that it is manual push...

Put gear to neutral when traffic jam and press the accelerator to more than 2 or above 2000 RPM I think and it will charge back. Hold your RPM about 2 or above and the battery will charge by itself. Release the accelerator(wait first) before shift to D when traffic is moving. Just received the front floor mat(rubber) from online Rakuten (>RM430) . It seems it is made in Malaysia. Not cheap.
