Yeah thanks for the tips. I found it easier just to pry out the entire housing since I’m changing the 2 map light, without any cosmetic issue. Just pry that thing and unscrew and pop it in. 1 minute done. The dome light was swapped to LED by SC last time service (request them to do it).
However if i need to do it myself then yes i will need your tip. Thanks ya!

If during driving (engine running) and the light switch is positioned for door, then there will be some light as there is current going through the led. It will be small bleed of light but nothing intrusive even driving nighttime.
But if the car is locked, the dome light will be completely turned off as well as the map light (if you forgot to switch em off)

Sounds like possibly a handbrake switch issue.

No, obd will not be able to detect as the switch is probably not connected to ecu.

You could try this test to diagnose:
Stop the car on a hill/slope. Gear in neutral and release handbrake.
    If car starts sliding and light is still on then could be just faulty switch.
    If car starts sliding but theres like resistance and light is on could be that brake isnt fully releasing. Get it checked immediately.

U know what. Workshop ran an OBD scan & the problem is due to brake pedal switch. Replaced it. Will observe & hopefully the problem is resolved.

Thanks man for the advice. Especially on the LEDs. They come with their own cable to attach to the body, and I just couldn't understand why that would affect the warranty. It's just a power thing. I'm not rewiring anything at all. But knowing this has made it easier for me to choose to apply these when they arrive.

As for the wheels, the 16" ones should not affect the speedo much or at all. At most it will change by 1kph or 0.58 kph, which is acceptable. The only thing now is finding the RPF1s for the car - people have fake ones and some have real ones. I had to message Enkei Malaysia and they e been amazingly helpful in helping me find someone who can. They're pretty pricey but I suppose that's the point of getting good set rather than knockoffs. Once in a while expenditure, I guess. Plus long term it's better grip and fuel economy, too.

Yep, coilovers are there as a plan. Looking at the car you can tell it is really high up. Not that it's a problem but there is some body roll and I would like to lower it enough that it sits better and drags less over the long term. Plus it looks more like a spotty hatchback than a tall SUV/Crossover.

Cheers, guys. Any other recommendations would be great. Right now I'm trying to list our good wheels for 205/45R16. If anyone has recommendations would be appreciated!

I wanted to reply yesterday but I have a limit on posts apparently!

That is an awesome recommendation man. Thanks I will look into getting wheel nuts. Any suggestions or some randos online will do?

I am based in KL.
Yes! Funny you mention this because I just watched an episode of Might Car Mods and they were using the same thing, and Marty mentioned that instead of coilovers or springs you can simply use struts and ARBs to make the ride much better.

That said, one of my biggest worries has always been the post mods where I can to for quality workmanship for balancing and etc. But you guys have mentioned a few and thats helped a lot.

I think what I plan is if my research shows ARBs and struts work, I'll change the springs to Eibach Iriz lowering springs and apply struts and ARBs. Might be cheaper than coilovers who knows.

What are your thoughts?

Hey guys. Yeah I should specify  my needs more clearly. My main goal is comfort and handling. I don't plan on touge, but at some point in the future I do want to take the car to out for track days.

@wjang, yeah the ARB concept is very appealing to me right now because it seems like a legitimate concept that will work and will be useful in the long term too. Do you have any recommendations for a good set?

@the class of 13* thank you for the very informative layout. Can you explain further what you mean by servicable v non-servicable coilovers? Also with regards to the twintube coilovers, is it difficult to get the right kits for the car? And I'm sorry because I am such a noob at this, what do you mean when you say "choose the rear coilover springs that mounts on torsion beam and not on the damper it self just like stock"?

I also have a plan to get a set of Eibach lowering springs instead. Any advice on that? Thanks!

Iriz 1.3 Manual
Of late I noticed my handbrake light indicator is on (Dashboard) while I was driving but if I turn off my car and restart it goes away. The weird thing is that it is not constant it comes and goes. Anyone else experiences this before? Thank you

Not agree on the ron97 part. The car manual stated it is suitable for ron 95 and no benefit, hp, torque gain by fill up 97 or 100

For carbon cleaning purpose, it depend on fuel additive not Ron. Most petrol sold here shown that their fuel additive package is similar (quantity & quality) for it ron 95 and 97.
It depend on car requirements, if it need 97 as minimum, then put 95 will make performance drop, but if it 95 or most car with 92 as minimum, not benefit gain at all for fuel up 97 or 100 unless a placebo effect

Anyone successfully installed those aftermarket shark fin antenna cover? As i notice iriz first version has rather big antenna base, not sure whether can fit.

Recently my Iriz(2015) has been making a louder sound than usual, the sound usually starts at 1600rpm and stops at 2000rpm and it can be heard again when decreasing speed(from 2200rpm). Has anyone experienced this? If I were to describe it; it sounds like I'm going at almost 3000rpm.

Not quite sure, but I can tell that it is either from the engine bay or the CVT. My tires are relatively new.

Today is quite a bad day for me.

My rear screen got cracked due to flying objects at road side (while parking in front of my house).

Managed to send for replacement (claim under windscreen protection in my insurance).

During the repair I found out the 3rd brake light got burned......    

The burned condition quite terrible.



Anyone know how much it will cost for the replacement
socket + light bulb

btw
is the light bulb type t10 or t15?

Myvi look with myvi fuel consumption with iriz ride and handling....best match..

And the price of a second hand Axia.

Yup, we just made the prefect car for all Malaysian.
