Well mine was on a Friday, waited in showroom for an hour, got called and went for road test. Then back at the seating area and realised all the mechanics went for lunch. Went to ask the counter guy, he say no stock for the part need order. (Luckily I asked). Went back home and one week later got a call saying that the part arrived. Went back and change (approximately 2hours).

Congratulation. I oversight my message, my car will be delivered on tomorrow not today .

Any upgrade?

I plan to trade in the stock tires to Michelin MX2 and do the car paint coating when I received it.

Very nice view at night after installing rear number plate lights ( 2x WHITE blubs), thinking to ask around few acc shops
to change    a) side small lamp  /    b) front fog lights    to Tungsten-halogen    or    High-intensity discharge (HID) .  c) Main headlamp will be last to consider.
Anyone know any bulbs are JPJ approved or  Philips's compliance specs bulbs for  side small / Fog lights  or  main headlamp ?
Will check on OEM products  like Philips, OSRAM, ..      rather  than  Made  in  CH  N    brands. Will go to TOYOTA Service Centre
and ask any good / approved headlamp / bulbs ..  brows.gif

Advantage of HID bulbs :-
Increased safety
Automotive HID lamps offer about 3000 lumens and 90 Mcd/m2 versus 1400 lumens and 30 Mcd/m2 offered by halogen lamps. In a headlamp optic designed for use with an HID lamp, it produces more usable light. Studies have demonstrated drivers react faster and more accurately to roadway obstacles.
Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) already increased the safety views  biggrin.gif 

Efficacy and output
Luminous efficacy is the measure of how much light is produced versus how much energy is consumed. HID burners give higher efficacy than halogen lamps.

Longevity
The average service life of an HID lamp is 2000 hours, compared to between 450 and 1000 hours for a halogen lamp.

Disadvantage of HID bulbs :-
Glare
Tendency for high-output headlamps to cause high levels of glare to other road users.  ohmy.gif

Cost
HID headlamps are significantly more costly to produce, install, purchase, and repair.

For headlamps i saw on ebay, phillips, exact bulb model as the vios g spec ones white in colour, but deliver from USA. Here i asked, so far nobody bring in the bulb.

130RMB.
White-ish a bit, but wont be as white as LED(small light)... halogen mar
Ok lo, not yellow light on the road... maybe a bit different from people & not glaring
If you're ok with halogen instead of LED, then this is the 'only' choice for 9012 size.

130RMB is cheap! Isit the legit Phillip one? Thanks by the way smile.gif

imho, will void warranty if there is any major issue claim..as not compliance to std safety steering per specs..

Hopefully within 5 years no major issue,  otherwise SC will got millions excuses to reject any claim(if there is any) from small modifications till driver carpet mat, no tyres alignment/balancing, service on schedule, not good tyre condition, wear and tear brake pad ..etc

I change my honk saja then the next service when i go service i saw on the computer they put a note there, say changed honk. So i dunno if anything happen they will use that against me or not.

Talk to the Service Advisor(SA) who entertain you, on the note written in the UMW website computer.. acknowledgement??

At least, SC knew yr car honk has changed.. but, it is not related to engine optimization or major other compartments changes... should not be an issue if there is any claim..Use polite own budi bicara anda..
