No. Pero it is very ideal for flashing lights as an added safety for the brake lights.

I once saw an automotive show where they discussed it. (sorry cannot find link in youtube yet, but it was a british show, not sure if it was topgear)

Their findings were that with the use of blinking yellow light as the third light, drivers following you reacted better.

Iwas bundol sa pwet.

I plan to install them and post in "Mods at iba pa" if ever I do.

We don't need that rain sensing wiper thingie. Mga tunay na lalake tayo dito. If we can't sense that its raining, we shouldn't be driving in the first place.

And I'd rather have airconditioned seats. hehehe. For cold weather, the vehicle standard cabin heater works well enough in our country.

I'm not trying to offend anyone.

Peace tayo.

True, but I have to say though the rain sensing wipers feature is really a very nice one. Not only does it detect that there is rain, it also detects the volume of rain and adjusts the wiper speed accordingly. The effect is you actually forget that you have wipers and you don't have to fiddle with the wiper settings every now and then especially when it is only a drizzle and the volume of drizzle keeps on changing. I actually miss this feature from my MZ3 whenever I drive the Fiesta in the rain.

Today I did more investigations re:

Tow hook cover - Mine is a 1.4 MT Trend sedan and the cover is on the front bumper. I tried to pry it open but there was some resistance. I did not go further concluding that it won't fall off by itself.

Wheel caps - they do bulge out unlike my Honda City where they are flush with the surface of the rims. I tried prying them off with my swiss knife but same with the tow hook cover, enough resistance to show they won't fall off.

Forcible removal can never be totally prevented.

Opening the lining of the sedan's boot, you will see wires controlling the boot lock. One press on your wireless fob, unlocks, another press pops it open. Same happens when you press the button bellow the handle of the boot.

All "by wire", the button sends a signal to the computer, the computer pops the boot. No cables or mechanical handle to open the boot.
