Haven't heard much of electrical gremlins with the GS, though you'd be better off asking the guys who've had their GSes for a while. T3D's GS is heavily modified in terms of electricals, so I'm sure he'd be a good guy to ask on how good (or bad) the GS electricals are. Did not have any problems with the Gen 3's electricals.

Harang talaga ang casa. I read somewhere that the price of a Fiamm horn cost as much as a Bosch supertone outside. Tsk tsk!

Come to think of it, with my horn install, i'm technically out of warranty already. Hehehe! Hataw na ang kamot!

AFAIK, wala ng dumadating na bagong imports sa Port Irene. Alam ko babalik na ulit sa Subic ang mga imported RHD vehicles.

IMHO dun parin ako sa mga gawa ni Bro Gary Q.

Nasa 19K ata yung Bolt-on Modified H1 (Modified lens for maximum performance) niya.
Ganito naman ang output:

Nilipat mo rin ba yung location ng horns?

Balita ko medyo kulob daw yung sound ng horns sa stock location hehe..

Oh definitely. If you've got the budget and time to spare, plus you don't mind having your headlamp assembly modified for the retrofit, then this is the one to have

Not right now. Same stock location behind the upper part of the outer border/frame of the front grille. I'm still happy with it. Hehe! Coz sobrang pangit nung stock horn. Meep meep. Though I'm really pining for a better location to put in a bigger and badder horn (Mitsuba-ish or Europa).

Thanks for sharing bro....

Iyong kina T3D at euro (both GS owners from THP-Team Hyundai Philippines), ginawa nilang HID ang kanilang foglampls,- mas maliwanag pa ngayon sa kanilang headlights...

Esep-esep...

I remember, Bro CVT, that you asked them if the foglamps weren't too low to be useful. I'm supposing they weren't too low? Or perhaps with the HIDs, they became useful?

I find the foglamps with the stock bulbs to be a bit low and weak. Might also be in part due to my front tint (BC20-like) though. Or perhaps some height adjustment needed?
