yes bro. i have sold my HID to another Perdana fellow . now running on normal halogen bulb. coz been few times kena minum kopi .

did anybody encounter the PV6 rear brake not so grip? i feeling the car was pushing toward when i brake til hardest. even in 2pot now also feel like rear brake r making me throwing out.

Drive slower !! hahahaha

is not the matter drive slow or fast. is the matter tat the rear brake not grip making the front brake hold up all the force from the back. so tat the car wun feeling it stop like normal v6 does.

i think it must be the angel eye ring that caused the problem...also the HID bulb must be 4300K to appear yellowish

you can feel the rear brake not effective? i don't think the rear brakes play a very big role in everyday driving. most of the braking force is contributed by the front brakes. Maybe you're using new brake pads on your 2pot and need time to bed in before it can brake effectively?

even i off the angle eye also got kacau.

for the brake. i & my foreman tested it WITHOUT ABS working. front wheel jam. but the rear wheel still pushing forward as like not much brake force to hold it. any idea?

i see, then perhaps i'm luckier than you or my retrofit job is "cleaner" than the person who did your retrofit for you

sorry bro, not an expert in brakes...i'm the kind of driver who adapts to the car's limitation rather than having the car adapt to my driving style

haha..mayb mayb..

just to put my safety to the 1st place . when the car loaded sure can feel the pressure from the back

good excuse to reject ppl who wanna tumpang your car...tell them my brakes not so good, can only ferry another person <55kg

haha..so clever u..i used to told my fren like tis..so always tumpang ppl car go Genting

omni: Which HID you did and who did the retrofit for you ?

i bought the projectors online, bought the OEM HID set from a seller here, bought a new pair of headlamps and DIY-ed myself

it was a slow and careful process...took me about 2 months from start till finish!

i thought just buy the HID unit and then fit into the H4 slot hehehehe

cannot ler, that one will cause glare and unfocused beam which will endanger yourself and other road users. Not to mention these kits are easily "detected" and "identified" as HID by JPJ and traffic police.

better use HID wisely. or else u got many Polis or JPJ frens look for u .

the stuffs you sell all OEM ler...we got no use la...

How does it endanger myself ? Can elaborate please

HID light pattern is supposed to be spread as wide and evenly in front of the car, with higher concentration of light near the cutoff to improve distance visibility. This is achieved with OEM headlamp setups which have gone through proper R&D and design.

Non OEM HIDs cannot achieve the above, and often put out too much light directly in front of the car. This is dangerous. The excessive light in front of the car draws your eyes closer to the front of the car preventing you from seeing farther down the road. Even when you are looking far down the road, the light up front is distracting.

betul betul sifu la omni. i take my hat of to you

bukan sifu apa la...just through experience...i've used HID kits before and i always end up feeling tired in the eyes after driving with it, as though my eyes were subconciously straining themselves when driving

i did alot of research online before finally taking the risk of doing my own retrofit, there were alot of additional costs involved because i'm not electrically/electronically sound (everything needs to be bought online like the wire harness) and having the right tools really makes alot of difference in terms of effort, time and quality of the result. it was a really good experience and i enjoyed every minute and step of the entire process.

i just hope to contribute my experience in educating other users to "at least" do a proper retrofit if they want to use HID (although at the end of the day, it is still not legal) but mostly fall on deaf ears mainly because they are ignorant, retrofits are expensive, plenty of cheap China kits available and some even told me they like HIDs because they look cool during start-up...

actually i might just end up buying a china hid and test as i really don't wanna spend almost a thousand like brother koh just to swap it with someone else due to JPJ

Oh ya, what if i get 3000k HID, JPJ won't catch right ?
