These are what I got.

Center lamp glows also whether it's osram or philips. What u need to do is add/wrap a resistor around the connectors. Look for resistor with this value = 1k ohm 0.5w

Btw, all the bulbs in my Iriz have been replaced with LED, that includes the turn signal lamp & even the number plate lights. So far I'm very pleased with it. Some might think what's the point? I'm actually not into taking advantage of the energy efficiency of LED, as I believe the energy savings are very negligible, if any. What I m looking for is the longevity & brightness (hence more safety due to increased visibility) of LED. Just "replaced & forget". This is especially important for the top mounted brake lights. Oftentimes I've seen a lot of cars having all brake lights failed, which is very dangerous to the driver & the car which is following from behind. With LED, I have peace of mind & rest assured it'll work as long as the lifetime of my car. So, no more worries on blown halogens.

Sorry, double posted

No load resistor required for all, except for turn signal lamp. I 1st bought those normal amber LED & got hyperflash issue (blinking rapidly like when a halogen is blown) & panel meter keeps showing check LH / RH signal. Then i look around n there r a few alternatives. One of it is to change the signal relay that's meant for LED. However, in iriz, there's no such relay to swap as it's embedded in the board that controls all these (forgot what the term). Then there's another option - add load resistors, but it gonna produce a lot of heat & I don't like the idea of those load resistors dangling around (we already hv enough headaches with rattling & vibration noise). Finally I managed to source from aliexpress. It's LED but built-in with resistor, hence maintaining the original wattage. If u want, I can PM u the link. But of course, it's pricey. And it's freaking bright when blinking at night. I can see those road signs reflecting amber color. 😁 But imo, not as annoying as those new Toyotas with rear fog light turning on when it's not necessary. Bright red light. FYI, Toyota even had released videos educating its drivers on what is the purpose of it & when it should be on ie. Heavy rain/fog. But I see those Toyota owners turned it on even when there's no rain. Eye sore.

I agree with u partially, but regardless of generic or not, just pay attention to the lumen rating

PMed u the link. U'll get better deal through using the app.

Done.

Hi guys, I m relatively new to posting in this forum. Is it against any rules to post the link directly instead of by PM?

Done.

For better deal, buy from the app instead of the web.

Try to look for silicone wiper from wiperfix. I've been using it for some time. So far don't hv any vibration or noise.

Hi, sorry if it's a noob question. Do iriz utilize spark plugs cable? Or it's just relying on ignition coil w/o distributor?

Oh my... Buddy, r u alright? Mind to share what happened?

How sure r u that the sound is from engine knocking? Have u tried revving the engine while being stationary, to hear if there's any pinging noise?

I used to having this weird metallic pinging noise & i thought it was coming from the engine. Until 1 fine day, while trying to dampen some dashboard rattling sound, I removed the glove box & run my hand in it gently tapping around & found that 2 screws connecting between 2 parts of metallic sheets are not secured with nuts. Once i secured both screws with nuts, the metallic pinging noise is gone. That 2 sheets of metal parts are around the left side of the aircond blower. U can try to tap ur hand around that area.

If the noise is really caused by engine knocking, try a bottle or 2 of Techron Concentrate Plus from Caltex. Pour it into ur fuel tank when u refuel. It helps to remove carbon deposits from the fuel system & some of the engine parts. Caltex even produced this as OEM for BMW to clean carbon deposits. Same bottle design, same content, but relabeled it with BMW label. It costs RM46 per bottle. Nvr tried, nvr know...

Bro, it's not EO additive. It's fuel addictive with PEA detergent that will get rid of carbon deposits. Every fuel on the market has additive added, like detergents, friction modifier, anticorrosive agents. The industry branded it like, shell fuelsave, shell v-power racing, Petronas primax prodrive, caltex w/ techron, bhp infiniti. These additives r one of the many factors that set each different fuel brand apart. Techron is already available in Caltex fuel, except that this Techron Concentrate Plus is a more concentrated form of it. It won't affect the viscosity of your EO.

I usually pour a bottle of it everytime after 10k service interval. All fuel already hv detergent in it. It's just that this product is more concentrated & i added it every 10k to serve as a preventive maintenance to clean existing carbon deposits & minimize any future build-up.

U might also wanna consider revving ur engine hard once in a while. It is a method which they coined it as "Italian tuneup" & it's what the technicians in Ferrari do after each service maintenance to rid carbons. The key is to rev ur engine hard & get it hot enough to naturally burn off those carbons.

I looked for a long stretched road w/ light traffic @ night time. Shift to L & depress the gas pedal WOT. Repeat a few rounds. But be cautious not to overdo it. It puts a heavy strain on our "top-notch reliable" punch CVT. God forbids if the belt snaps. Lol.

While doing it, I keep a lookout for police patrol car too. Can't imagine if i was stopped by a patrol car when doing the deed.

Police : Encik, apa lu tgh buat. Pandu laju2.
Me : Encik, I tgh buat Italian tuneup.

Ur tranny is MT or CVT?

Try this. It works for me.
