Anyone finding the halogen lights of the 1.5 still unbright at night?

Hello everyone. Just got my M3 1.5 sedan. I'm from Gensan. I was searching for where to buy mods and accessories for my m3 online and I stumbled upon this site. Registered right away. Anyways, anyone here knows where I can buy good Mazda3 accessories and mods (that won't affect yojin3, perhaps?) around Davao area maybe? TIA.

Loving the M3 even though it's a 1.5L. still packs lots of features. oh and the new color (as per my agent says) compliments the 1.5 skyactiv.

Is this Machine Grey?

Titanium flash mica. Good color and looks great under bright sunlight. Almost got an M3 of that color last month.

opo. Titanium Flash Mica. luckily I was able to get that color. I was the second one to get that color from the dealer (Mazda Davao). They said that the color is rare and it is the second time they were given that color. Grab it right away. Love really the color. For me, it outshines the rest of the M3 colors. Even better than the soul red.

Don't put tint that's too dark on your windshield. The Mazda 3's halogen headlights aren't weaker than other cars' halogen headlights. Your tint is just too dark for what your eyes can handle.

If you really want to keep your dark tint, at the very least, spend 15-20k on a decent HID retrofit for your car. The lighting output is more than doubled.

Same. Got "Light" 3M tint on windshield but people and vehicles just keep popping up suddenly during night driving... And I think that the angle of the lights is too low... Can't seem to illuminate objects a few meters ahead

[travajante]

These plugNplay LEDs for less than $50...


Pretty impressive for the money.

Interesting discussion on using LEDs on halogen projectors:

Reddit - cars - Some questions about projector headlamps and LED lights...

There is no splicing on factory wiring. It's a simple bulb replacement. I don't see how yojin can be affected. LEDs have lower electrical draw, too.

Im not sure what specific wattage to use for the drl to still function if you use plugnplay led. I read on a forum that he installed and somehow the drl does not work

The lower electrical draw of HIDs and LEDs can sometimes cause the ECU to detect a "fault" i.e. a broken bulb and making it issue varying pulses of electrical voltages in an effort to fix the perceived problem. This then causes a flickering effect on the light and a "broken bulb" fault light may appear in the dash. In some cars a CANBUS canceller may be needed.

Yup, could happen, esp to the more sensitive Euros. One can verify w/ the manufacturer or seller. They know about the makes & models that would have issues.These bulbs w/ fans & Philips core are relatively new. So far, so good or lucky. Foreign Sky Mown3rs have been using these as halogen substitutes now. Yet to hear a complaint.

Just wondering...
How's M3's fuel economy on Sport Mode?
