yo guise, wanna ask. my preve righthand frontlamp blew once in two month, is it normal?

now both my front lamp gone..had to rely on foglight during low light driving before change bulb.

since both my frontlamp gone..any suggestion on bulb that can last long? was thinking for led lamp ... or go for hid ? (this is the name right?)

Mine blown once, few months after owning the car.

Firstly I sent to the SC and I found that they don't even know how to install it properly. It lit, but focused wrongly. Looking at how some SC technicians are inexperienced in handling and installing bulb, I bought the bulbs and installed myself. Tough to reach it, especially for first experience, but I manage to. More than 1 year, no more burnt bulbs.

1. Must not contaminate bulb with fingers
2. The bulb must be placed in specific position as indicated inside the headlamp, not just chuck straight inside.

If you go for HID, warranty will void and you will have problems with JPJ.

Have Proton called you for wire harness change? It's free as Proton has issued a recall for that. It should help as my bulbs no longer die in short period, so far.

mine was 2014 model, and nope..no call received in regards of that


QUOTE(SportyHandling @ Sep 11 2015, 08:11 AM)
Did you buy your light bulb from Proton? If yes, it will be replaced free-of-charge if the new light bulb blew in less than 6 months. Proton provide a 6-month warranty for the light bulbs which is mentioned in the sales invoice. The lights on my car blew twice. The first time they blew, I replaced them at the Proton service centre. They then blew again in less than 6-months, and I got them replaced free-of-charge.

Whether it is normal for the front light bulb to blow in 2 months, it is certainly not normal, but for the Proton Preve, under some circumstances it can happen. I was told by the Proton guy who changed the light bulb to not leave the lights in Auto mode (the setting at the most bottom of the left stalk) as the light bulbs tend to blow more easily if it is left in Automatic.

right frontlamp changed at acc shop, left frontlamp yet to change (originally came with the car)

i only Auto the lamp when im driving, when im off the car..i put it at Off. glad to know it isnt normal

Nice..where did you orders yours? This does not void any of the warranty right?
I assume this includes the door trimming as well.

Yea man..pictures would be nice.. :-)

hey Jason, as promised. I finally got time to go and get it done. I didnt opt for door trimmings as I rather not have people opening the door panels (worried about rattling sound afterwards).
Here are some photos of the results. They picked white thread for me, but it looked nice. Not too stand out.
Am I satisfied? Well look-wise its amazing! So far it's nice to sit on, but I'll reserve that after trying parking the car under our malaysian hot sun whistling.gif

Wow bro.. Looks really nice. Feels soft? How long did it take to install it?

I am also wondering how well it handles the heat from the afternoon sun. (Super hot? Will it crack/discolour over time).

It's a shame the CFE doesn't come with leather as stock. Even the trusty old Waja came with the option of leather seats.

Which shop in Melaka bro? Malim? Batu berendam?

Yeah, the door trim and center console is leather also. Not in production anymore, but can actually order the part from Proton if not mistaken, but at an exorbitant price.

dunno yet. just started to use. so far weather been cloudy and rainy so no chance to test under hot sun, but I think sure burn buttocks la as even normal leather has this problem. they give warranty 1 year so if crack/discolour will go claim la. the shop is in Bkt baru melaka there. if u really wan go ask, i can PM u the number. BTW, if they service poor pls dont scream at me, I first time deal with them.

Probably your brake switch has a problem. The gear lock needs to sense the brakes being pressed to release.
I never triggered ESC light by ESC itself. If you do, you're violently throwing the car.

I seen the ESC light due to traction control, easily triggered at wet car parks.

Thanks sifu, I have get my preve change the brake switch at service centre but problem still occur and they say could be selenoid problem. Beside this I feel Proton QC quite bad as now my < 3 month old preve now auto wiper not working, car seat got annoying 'ngek ngek' sound, one of the wiper blade not install properly where it fly out recently during raining. I go back to service centre but they say better go COSE. I have booked an appointment with COSE to solve above issue.
