    Saw this on FB. Unconfirmed, but a source (the neighbor) says that the owner was trying to install LEDs on his Mirage when this happened.

    So much for the new-car smell.

    The electrics are supposed to pop a fuse, not burn di ba?

    Sayang ang bagong kotse.

    That's the five hundred thousand peso question. He'll have to see the fine print as "unauthorized tampering" (or something like that) might void the insurance.

    There's insurance for Acts of God or Acts of Nature. Is there also a clause for Acts of Stupidity?

    led installation could not spark that kind of fire... why?- cause led consume less electricity hence it could not lead to such

    but according to topgear phil, that photo was due to improper HID installation - much more plausible since hid consumes more electricity and are a heat magnet

    china ballasts may consume more electricity than stated otherwise they usually use 35w or 50w. an hid bulb generates high temps, but not a heat magnet.

    Everything that burns turns into carbon.

    Carbon is a good conductor.

    Once sunog na, it will short circuit at kung hindi tama ang kabit ng fuse, electrical fire follows.

    That's when DIY becomes Destroy It Yourself.
