The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

Good explanation, altec. Thanks.

I personally am content with the light intensity of the Sedona's stock bulbs. Malakas sya kahit naka-low beam lang ako. In fact, a lot of drivers switch to high beam when they are in the lane opposite me, thinking that I am already in high beam. Gulat lang nila pag nag-high beam ako sandali to signify that I'm just using low beam.

And sorry, I wouldn't know if the price they quoted is reasonable, as I've never had a whole bumper repainted before.

ako rin first time. pero ang nagbukambibig was the service manager of Kia. syempre attractive ang price lalo na't casa. he was looking at my bumper when he said it, and mine has a crappy masilya job on it.

i agree na sufficient na yung stock bulbs for my eyesight, and my windshield is fully tinted. baka depends on the driver and other conditions.

h4 bulbs kasi direct ang light projection niya to the oncoming traffic, that's why nakakasilaw. h7 bulbs for low beam, on the other hand, the light from the bulb hits a reverse deflector right in front of it, which reflects the light back, and uses the frame's reflectorized design to push the light back out. The deflector minimizes the glare to oncoming traffic, but for me, it also lessens its illumination intensity. When I had xenon plasma h4 installed in other cars, ang ganda ng effect. When I had the same type but this time h7 installed in the sedona, nawala yung mild tri-color effect, and the illumination was not the same. The h7 high beam lens, however, is a spotlight type, so direct. Pero of course, yung reach niya is not as far and widespread as an h4.

Baka nga mas makakamura kung sabay tayo bumili. Kelan mo ba balak bumili?

Ericmm, I already bought my tires at pricesmart yesterday. Dunlop lemans RV (215/70 R15). Price is 2899.95/each. Sila na rin ang nag-kabit at nag wheel balance. It took 30mins.

Sir Baiskee, dito na ako bumili sa pricesmart dahil malapit sa amin at included na lahat. Thanks for the quote.

May bago ako problema. May leak daw iyung aircon ng sedona ko. At kailangan daw buksan. Meron ba kayong alam na gumagawa ng aircon na mapag-kakatiwalaan dito sa may south? P'que, Alabang or LP.

Thanks again!

Thanks Kaboodle - Price is not that bad. Thanks for the info, I just might consider going there this coming weekend.

altec - I have a problem with my low beam light, I am able to turn the screw but the beam doesn't seem to go down kaya minsan nasisilaw yung mga kasalubong thinking that I am on high beam. Any suggestion what I can do or do I just simply change the assembly? TIA

**altec** · September 11th, 2005 10:11 PM

eric, sedona model ba sa iyo? Kung carnival na h4, I think it has an adjusting screw to move the headlight assembly up, down, left and right, as in any h4 type assembly I've experienced with other cars. Yung sedona, wala pa akong makita. When I had the headlight bulbs changed, the shop had a hard time installing it. If you put in wrongly, yung light beam niya turns up (or was it down?). That was what the shop found out.

**ericmm** · September 12th, 2005 09:30 AM

altec, my van is the carnival park II and it is H7. Is there a possibility na mali din ang pagkapalit nung ilaw ko kaya di ma-adjust. Di ba mas madali naman i-install yung H7? Di kaya talagang may problema na yung assembly ko?

**altec** · September 12th, 2005 09:34 AM

Eric, will look at the headlights again in an hour kasi have to check the engine again, I suspect bumalik yung fuel knock ko!! What you do is to park your car facing a wall, and check the position of your illumination. Next, access your halogen bulb, and try to turn it around. Can go to the shop today coz have to drop a letter to their office anyway, and ask the specifics.
