IIRC Bro.IMm29,- a pair of sockets are already double contact. I think these are the sockets where your park lights are.
IIRC, The sockets for the brake lights are single contacts. So, you need to buy a pair of double contact sockets.... Simple lang palitan,- would not take 15minutes for an electrician.
It gives you better visibility on the road.....

Hmmm.. this i gotta check soon. Will try later, when I get the car. Thanks for some kamot ideas. Hehehe!

I haven't been with it much, so I'm trying to go slow on the upgrades first. Hehehe! But then, you could also see that as delaying the inevitable.

pwede na ko join dito sa GS thread, sold my Ondoy survivor GRX last january and got a GS the next day!

question #1: ano pwede gawin sa back-up light? too dim for me e (kasi super dark tint ) the manual says it is just a 16 watt bulb. can i put a 65 watt there? di ko pa nabubuksan ang tail light assembly (nagagalit si misis pag lumapit ako sa GS na may hawak na tools) so di ko alam anong type ng bulb nasa loob.

question #2: bakit madumi lagi ang front wheels? sabi sa akin sa casa kasi daw yung mags di maganda ang ventillation. ganun din ba mga GS nyo? so need to replace the wheels ng bling-bling type?

question #3: what replacement bulb for the low beam do you recommend?

tnx sa lahat ng magrereply.

Welcome Bro.yebo.... I think I can only answer a couple of your questions above, because of my experience,- Here goes....

#2 - Brake Dust iyan. All GS have that inconvenience.. Linis-linis lang kapag malamig na ang rotor disc... Gamit namin sabon at tubig, tanggal na rin... Pag medyo mahirap tanggalin,- kaunting kerosene..

#3 - I replaced my headlight (low beam) with Philips Xtreme Vision. Other GS owners replaced theirs with Osram Nightbreaker. Mas preferred ko lang ang Philips dahil near OEM siya, medyo madilaw kaya okay kapag umuulan sa gabi....(OT: I replaced my high beam with super yellow, kaya walang problema sa visibility kapag maulan sa gabi)

Not sure if the 65W bulb is okay for the 16W OEM bulb. Maybe an electrician can help you assess if the socket and wiring can support it.

Bakasyon ka ngayon dito sa Pinas?

Seiring along Taft Avenue in Pasay (near the EDSA end) is a good source for Starex spare parts.

Uy! New victim. Este, bagong retrofit on the way. Hehehe!

#1 - I don't you can put in a 65w bulb in the stock casing. That should effectively melt it, even if minsan mo lang gamitin. You might also wanna try high powered LEDs instead, as they run cool but are much brighter

#2 - Brake dust indeed. Our GS is only weeks old, but I've seen that already. IMO, better the brake pads than the brake disc, so ok lang for me yung dumi for as long as the discs aren't damaged. Something's gotta give, and with heavy rides like these, brake pads give off lots of dust talaga.

#3 - Ayaw mong magbolt-on HID projectors bro? ;) Hehehe!

ok, try ko maghanap ng led. san meron?

oo nga e, looks like the front brakes get a lot of wear due to the heavy GS. hirap pa naman linisin ang mags ng GS, even the baby bottle brush I use on my Sta Fe will not fit between the front brake and wheel e.

HID, naku allergic ako dyan.

Ayaw mo ng HID projector retrofit?

Ganito lang naman ang output, sir
