Wah nice, now can really breakdown and compare price with SC. Haha.

it has been quite sometime..but i notice only our city is detail
the new or previous city is not detail

wanted to ask u guys, is pedal lock really good for car?

So this is what happened with my quest to use HID ... by installing the projector on the City

After 2 weeks of deliberation, decided to get the service of this one guy to retrofit this onto the car. He mentioned that this is his last few projects being done out of his home, and they will be moving into a proper shop for projector retrofitting.

In my previous post, i did mention there is several retrofitters in this forum and around KL. The reason i choose him was because they do original Morimoto Projectors.

So this package comes with 2x Morimoto Projectors, 2 Mini Gatling Gun shrouds, 2 red LED for Demon Eye and 2 55w Instant HID ballast(4300k).

Now the installation is really a pain, i have watched numerous videos on Youtube and it looks really easy on Youtube, in actual fact its not. It took a whole 6 hours to install and further 15 minutes to align the projectors beam pattern.

There is several issues with this retrofitter in terms of his workmanship, though he knows what he is doing, but several things he did was shoddy, like cable management and ballast placements. Yet they are still better than the normal accessories shops out there which does even worst. He is willing to take suggestions and work towards it. Though he wasnt that cautious with the handling of items and sometimes he just does it as is, and not take much care in it. Not severe damage but just saying.

Once done, it was only 3PM and wasnt able to align the beam, so was told that i can do it myself or come back when its dark, i did the latter and came back later and he took care of it.

Now i am rather pleased with the work except for the issues above. Went on my way and got back, later did i found out the red demon eye wasn't working. Initially i wanted default option of not smoking the lamps, no CCFL, no demon eye as provided with the other retrofitters. But since this was included without me asking, i just went ahead. Dont really prefer any weird colors on the lens actually.

So back to the demon eye, once i am home, found out its not working, on both sides. The demon eyes is actually split from the pilot light, no wires cut here as he used some form of connector to tap that pilot light cable. So i informed him and was told to go back to let him check, and this was around 1AM.

So i went back and he checked and found out its faulty and its on both side, he found it weird. but i told him its ok, not important for me and let me know what he plans to do. He told me his stock will arrive next week and will replace it for me. If this is the case, means he has to redo the whole thing and re-open the headlamp again. I might not want to do that, but will see.

Forgot to take pic of just the projector, this is with the Mini Gatling Gun shroud

Thank you so much bro for your details explanation and experience sharing.
appreciated.....

Anyone here facing squeeky door panel noise? Its like the plastic door material is soft and squeeky sounds comes out when you press on the plastic door panel.

me.same problem

So sad Honda is using cheap plastic and short changed us.. Even Vios and Almera plastic is harder and they don't squeek..

same here but only the front passenger door,the others ok
my front passenger door had been replaced due to accident lastime

for me is quite useful,just pull it up and the lock will be engage
it may not guarantee ur car won't be stolen but it takes time to be broken

hey guys, just booked my City E spec, just wondering, any offer/freebie you guys getting? like, windows solar film, rm1k discount, and?

when i got mine 3 years ago, a friend who got his in 2009 told me i will regret it as there will tons of unidentified sounds from the cabin ... i told its ok la, mine no sound - coz still new

now 3 years down the road ... lots of rattling sound ... and dunno where they coming from hahahahahahaha

guys,notice that the coolant at the reservoir tank decrease half of it within 2 months,no leaking detected,any ideas?
btw i'm using pure coolant without adding any water into it,this only happens twice,the first time the coolant decrease until it reach min level,for this time it just decrease half of it within 2 months

hmmm its definitely leaking somewhere ... now it doesnt necessarily need to show a big puddle of red or whatever color liquid under your car as it might be a slow leak and they would have evaporated by the time it leaks out ...

refill it again and monitor ...

i was also told some collant can be used directly ... where else some needs water added ...

not sure ... but if it was replaced at the sc ...shoul dbe fine

just top up and check

thx bro, will check whether it leaking slowly or not
this happen once before,the water level drop until min level and it maintain at max level after refill for about few months but i have tried to add pipe water before,not sure whether is the pipe water evaporate or there is a leakage

Could be your radiator cap seal worn out already. Try replacing your radiator cap first & see how it goes.

My aircond is now smelling real bad when I start it off, the smell lasts like 5 minutes..

I thought Honda suppose to change the air and pollen filter during 20k but they didn't, my next service is next month.

Can I just get it change outside? The price is only like RM25 for the filter but Honda is charging 162.37 as refer to the service table on the website.

Will this void warranty and reduce the labour cost of 133.56?

same thing happened to mine in the last service. Seems like the filter really only lasts for 20k. You have to change it every 20k

To me, yes, it is small and easy to use (lock/unlock)

Anyone here replaced their shock absorbers already? I was wondering whether is Koni available for Honda City? If yes.. Where can I get them installed?
