Buti pa ikaw deepfish napicturan mo yung retrofit process, nung ako nakalimutan ko. Hehehe ganda ng LED tail lights at reflector lights mo. ano stage ng HID package pina install mo?

[sparcom2]

Hi sir. Yung lane departure naka off the whole trip kasi di naman talaga sya useful sa atin since we keep on changing lanes naman. I think useful lang sya when driving at night and medyo antok at madilim ang road to guide you na nasa lane ka pa din. Ang very useful is the blind spot warning. If meron sa left or right rear mo na padating, the inner portion of the side mirror will light up to warn you. When you press on your signal light switch, it will give a warning sound while the warning light is on. I find it useful from when passing thru the 2 way roads and about to overtake. It reminds me to check on my side mirror before overtaking.

Naka on yung ECO mode ko the whole trip. Baka nga yun yung reason kung bakit lagi nag shishift sa lower rpm lagi.

Kainggit yung features ng sorento mo bimparts. Hehehe yung akin kasi wlang eco mode pero nung pumunta ako ng pico de loro may hinahabol ako na innova J d4d manual transmision sa zigzag, ayun panis siya sa akin sa akyatan. Umiyak pa nga yung gulong ko sa uphill sa sobrang lakas ng torque when over taking. Yung sports mode ginagamit ko lang sa down hill for engine braking para di uminit masyado breaks ko.

bro ano difference ng old projector light sa bago na kinabit mo?

sparcom2, stage 3 na ang kinabit ko. eto na ang may low & hi beam.

yotib, total price is P26,000 for the HID package, P1,500 labor & materials to install the bumper LED tail lights. super professional ang kabit nila. inayos pa nga nila ang wiring ng fog lights ko! yung led tail lights, binili ko lang sa eBay, $110 with free shipping via ordinary post. Inorder ko 1st week of March, dumating just in time! LOL

bimparts, the old projector lamps was for halogen bulbs lang, in my case, H7 ang dating bulbs ko. siguro sa iyo, standard na ang HID projector lamps! main difference between the lamps is the clarity of the lens, yung halogen projectors, may maliliit na swirls ang lamp pero ang HID projectors, parang crystal ball siya.

[sagingsaba]

sir, anong main difference in terms of light quality ng P 3k banawe HID with sir gary's P 26K. I'm sure mas maganda yung kay boss gary.. but malayong malayo ba ?

[sparcom2]

Deepfish, yung stock shrouds pa rin ba ginamit sayo? Yung akin kasi stock pa rin ginamit ni gary. Nakalimutan ko humingi ng discount sa kanya kasi dun sa price ng stage 3 package may kasama na shrouds.

[deepfish]

Not sure sagingsaba, ang alam ko lang D2S setup na ang nakalagay. Pareho ba sa Banawe?

[deepfish]

Sparcom2 walang kasama shroud ang akin. Check the pics I posted. Tnx

[sagingsaba]

Not sure sagingsaba, ang alam ko lang D2S setup na ang nakalagay. Pareho ba sa Banawe?

yung sa banawe, palit lang ng h7 bulb to HID. retain old projector housing.

[parakitoJDM]

ser BIMPARTS ganda talaga awto nyo.... Lalo na LCD instrument cluster....so yung display nyo pala ser.ng fuel consumption ay XX km/li? sa amin ay parang Euro style na XX li/100km...ser more exterior shots please.... Btw ganun din opinion ko sa ECO mode button... Mas mabilis sya UP shift pero tamad mag DownShift....yung sports mode ata magandang klase ay yung SST ng EVO-X....

And kmusta naman ser HID w/AFLS nyo? your review.actually means alot.coz we know your other rides are Continental makes...

ser Sparcom2, sa Power delivery ng 2.2 R eVGT vs 3.0D4D kmusta naman.... Ma papatawad mo ba Fort kulang 2gear ratios dahil sa early Turbo boost nya?

ser DEEPFISH, ganda resulta... Maka order din nga nyan LED foglamps... Kaso ala lang ako PAYPAL acct.
Any kmusta pala operation nya .... Dependent on Reverse gear or Park lights?

ser YOTIB, yung LED Rear Fogs eh reasonably priced... Puede group buy...

ser SAGINGSABA, isa malaking diff ata.nung banawe hid....ay di ganun.ka ganda quality ng H7 replacement Xenon bulbs and Ballast kesa sa orig.na gamit ng retrofit.... Mukhang genuine talaga ki gary_q lalo na. D2S spec ng bulb nila...yan nakikita kong OEM Xenon bulbs for WRX STi....

ako naman pala this Holy week, provincial roadtrip uli... This time installed rear suspension rubber lifter installed... Para di nga masyado dapa likod.... Dahil sa sama ng roads ng Quezon/Quuirino hiway (North side) nakaka walang gana upgrade.to low profile tires. Hehe... Saka since almost 5T km na sya and.havent done service.... Ginawa ko change oil muna w/o changing oil.filter.. Pagkabalik Manila then i'll gp.for first PMS... So para gumamit ako 6li fresh.oil jist fpr.flushing... Coz it wont run more than 500km.... 5mos na.kasi.sya ...

[sparcom2]

ser Sparcom2, sa Power delivery ng 2.2 R eVGT vs 3.0D4D kmusta naman.... Ma papatawad mo ba Fort kulang 2gear ratios dahil sa early Turbo boost nya?

Actually okay naman ang power ng 3.0 D4D kung iccompare mo sa ibang engines with same or almost similar displacement and 4 speed AT. Pero kung head to head 3.0 D4D vs 2.2 R eVGT ay iwan na iwan for sure yung 3.0 D4D. the torque and HP of the Revgt is higher than the 1KDFTV.

hi parakito! thanks! sure pwede ako mag order para sa iyo! tinanong ko si Gary kung pwede naka on siya without switching the park lights, sabi niya mahirap ang wiring dahil kailangan ma connect siya sa fuse box sa engine compartment, kaya park lights nalang siya. sample ng gawa ni Gary...

as for the front DRL, I have to buy a micro fuse tap holder para gumana ang DRL without having to switch on the park lights. na order ko na sa Aliexpress, should arrive in 3 weeks. dinamihan ko na for those who also want to get this.


question, mura na ba ang micro fuse pack of 5 for P85? saw it on eBay. thanks!

sir bimparts, ganda ng sorento mo!

[deepfish]

Just want to show wiring worksmanship ni Gary...

Sir deepfish, reauest picture before and after HID projected lights. Angle from the back. Ganda HID mo ser.

[parakitoJDM]

ser deepfish, so kung naka high-beam ka....
so buong quadlamps mo naka HIGH na din?
I wouldn't want to be on the other end facing such
blinding light....haha. saka yung mounting ng retrofit
projectors dun sa plastic casing eh sakto din lang?

sige kuha ako nyang LED Rear Fogs...
kunin ko sa next EB natin.....

may suggestion ba kayo guys kelan? punta kasi ako China Apr 12-25 so mga
after sana 'nun preferred time....

ser yotib/sagingsaba group buy ba tayo ng LED rear fogs?

[edpal69]

medyo OT.. anong recommended nyo na tire inflator ? napagkatuwaan kahapon yung sorento ko at pinasingaw ng mga makukulit na mga tambay... ayun na hassle ako sa pagpalit ng gulong.

same with me yesterday sa parking two rear wheels down, nilagyan ng maliit na bato ang cup at ibinalik so tuloy-tuloy ang singaw sa pito..nag mamadali pa man din ako dahil lunch mtg..

[edpal69]

FYI lang mga bro...safety concern

I parked my 2013 Sorrento sa "lighted street" ng Carmona at around 8pm to 11pm, to be exact infront of EASTWEST BANK near Jollibee, binasag ang driver side window ko at hindi sya nag alarm dahil ang stock alarm natin ay hindi vibration base dapat forced entry sa handle, and the police say's rampant daw ito sa area na yan since Dec 2012.

The classic part here is i tried to have this replaced thru Insurance kaya lang my insurance participation is 13K and the cost of my parts replacement (glass window, window rubber) is less than that so parang bale wala din ung purpose insuring the car unless you have BIG time damage say 50K.

The good thing naman is , i received a call and recovered all my cards, blank checks (by the SSHW maintenance crew) at SSHWay side grassy area under the tress after Caltex Stn (Heading North towards Susana Hts exit) after this na trauma na ako mag park na walang guard na malapit sa sorrento ko and not bringing my shoulder bag with me, btw heavily tinted and sorrie ko.

Any suggestion for better upgrade for our stock "alarm system".

[stephenang]

its actually why i also installed an alarm sa tucson ko it was that same issue it only alarms on forced entry and not on anything else im using a code alarm with basically piggybacks on your key that way you dont have a seperate one for the alarm it basically switches the alarm on when you lock and switches off when you unlock your car
