Was it complicated to replace the bulb?

@Jessyeo, did you mess with the USB stick? if you did, that will make a very concrete case with net_mave, prody, myself and orangbiasa?

interesting, i'm also not satisfy with the color of my headlamp, as most c-seg japanese car already come with HID as stock headlamp

u diy changing it or let the sc change for u?

Funny thing is the USB that caused batt drain. So far I always left the UBS attached, just once awhile remove it for download song into it. Will put it back after that. So far no issue... (touch wood)

Wa, bad luck.

I did the test, the light for the USB will keep blinking for about 1 minute and than its off.
I suppose power to the USB is completely cut off at that point so it should not be a problem to leave it in.

Just to correct you. I always leave my usb inside the car.
I was just wondering if it was possibly the cause of draining the battery, but I don't think it is.

Read in previous post abt issue on steering rack, found out mine has got a very mild noise when reverse parking as well! Not sure it's normal, our steering is powered electronically or mechanically ya?

The aftermarket HID wouldn't be too bright and caused inconvenient for others? Though I not happy with the light colour.
It will be better to match HID with projector lamp.

I didnt use USB much as I listen to the radio more often but I left my iphone USB attached all the time coz I need to charge my phone battery sometimes.
I dont think this will be the main factor cause the battery die. We doesnt know when was the battery made and how long its been staying in the factory,garage and in our car before hand over to us. I hope this DELKOR willl last longer.

So it is still inconclusive , fret not, I believe in DELKOR, see the link of DELKOR

http://www.delkor.com/language/eng/company/delkoris.asp

first few lines says:

Delkor, a leading battery manufacturer, was founded in October 1985 in association with the prominent automotive company, GM. Upon the production of the calcium MF battery in 1987, Delkor became the battery supplier for domestic automobile companies (Daewoo, Kia, Hyundai, Ssangyong), as well automobile manufacturers in Japan (Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Suzuki, Isuzu, Daihatsu)

Hate to admit it, but if it comes to even the japs use them, they should be reliable.

One question, can we jump start if the battery fails?

yeap, aftermarket HID on normal headlamp is a disaster, only those stock HID with projector is nice for everyone

can't do major mod on my headlamp, that's y i'm interested in whiter n brighter bulb like what danishfx suggested

Sorry, abit noob here. So which mean white bulb doesn't mean HID right? White light doesn't distract other road users like HID?
If so, I am interested to change to white bulb also.

Yes, u can jump start the car. But ur batt won't last long also. You need to go for a batt replaced after the jump start.

At least we can jump start it and drive to the nearest SC. No need to wait for 1 ~ 2 hours for the tow truck...

yeap, white bulb doesn't mean HID

and normally HID distract other road users is due to improper modification, which cause the light shooting at wrong angle, not because of the color

Oo... now only I know, thanks for your explanation. Thinking to change white bulb also
How much will that cost around?

Yet some ppl find white bulbs as distracting eventhough its normal halogen. Anyway iur headkamp bulb is h7? I think i've got a spare nightbreaker which used on my previous car's headlamp.

Hi guys,

I'm newbie here...but owned my 408 2.0NA black since Jan 13. Aim this car since launched and 6 months later only got it.

Would like to share my 'black' experience.. day 2 after collect the car, suddenly its appear Engine fault - need repair & ABS faulty at the screen followed by emergency light turn on, a/cond shut down, wiper swipe at max & lights on & off like ambulance car.

Sent the car to SC - only change 1 fuse at electronic box. reset the car & back to normal. A week after it happens again. Usually happen during morning after start the car. After shut down & restart it back to norm.

Sent the car for 2nd time (incldg 1st inspection) - SC change the battery. According to them, Pug has upgrade to Denso battery..this symptom happens to most 308 & 408 models due to "multi traction electronic system" (i used the terms given by the SC). The old battery cant support the electronic system in the car. But 2 weeks after, it happens again. Don't have time to set an appointment and don't know which recommended SC can solve this problem.

Do you guys facing the same or anyone can share their experience on this?

there u go
