Mazda MPV

[rmpmla]

for sure, hindi ito exact fit kaya kakailanganin ng modification para masalpak ito. mura kasi ang alok sa akin nung delica headlights halos kapresyo lang nung surplus fog lamp na nabili ko. kaya sarap i DIY install ito.

Just bought a pair of Delica Headlights. Daming kailangang baguhin sa MPV para ma-fit ito. kaya retrofit ko na lang yung projector lens nung delica HL sa MPV HL.
eto na siya pero hindi pa final.

Medyo mataas pa ang buga ng HID. Kamusta naman ang Hi halogen? Impression ko kasi na hindi akma sa reflector.

iyon lang nga, with a good lo HID, maybe you will not need the Hi.

merl26,
thanks for the compliments. tagal ko na rin kasi balak noon mag convert to HID with projector lens kaya lang ang mahal ng HID kits. pero ngayon mura na siya, you can try the classifieds here , meron na for 3k. But would suggect you put it on a projector lens kasi pag dun sa reflector type na HL ay sobra ang glare.
BTW i've used yellow halogen bulb before but replaced to osram all weather kasi may tendency na mag crack o matunaw yung clear plastic cover dahil sa init.
Sir, yung third brake light upgrade ay DIY din, yung orig kasi e maiksi lang yung rows ng LED. nakabili ako sa banawe ng 3rd brake light for lancer yata yon for only P350. Transplant ko lang yung LED dun sa mazda. meron siguro makagawa nyan sa banawe.

sir,
yun rin napansin ko sa buga ng HID at saka yung cut-off ay hindi pa sharp. kaya modify ko uli yung cut off nya.
Hindi ko pa na-try yung Hi halogen. Pero purpose ko lang dito is for flashing.
I've tried putting in additional halogen lamp kit for the Hi function kaya lang hindi na kasya sa loob ng HL at hindi proportion yung placement.

Update on the HL HID,
OK na yung cut off kaya lang di ko na-picture-an. also changed the blue led into blue CFL and painted the reflector flat black.
kailangan ko na lang i-sand off yung plastic lens to make it clear.

.ganyan ang gusto ko. Saan shop po kayo nakabili?

Actually, hindi po sa akin yan. that pic was posted in MPVclub forum as one member noticed this post ( floor mount stick shift ) as against the usual AT steering mount stick shift.

The picture originated here in the Philippines kaya malamang na dito ginawa yung conversion.

[rmpmla]

mukhang OK na yung throw ng cut off.

will probably post a thread para sa HID.

up this thread with a DIY

Share ko lang po. DIY installation of LED strip sa gauge panel ng MPV.

Na-try ko na replacing the bulb with T10 LED to white, to blue , to green pero mahina pa rin. Kaya ito naman try ko. Posting pics for those who also want to try.

bought this from ebay - 5M LED strip.


Now, the gauge panel to dismantle.


removing the cover. but first, I had to remove the two top screws.



then disconnect the plug of the fog lamp switch


after removing the front cover, the gauge panel fastening screws are exposed.

[rmpmla]

With 4 screws removed, then the speedo cable was detached.


With the speedo cable detached, the gauge panel can pulled a bit to disconnect the 3 connectors


center connector disconnected as shown below


once all the connectors are pulled out from the back socket, the gauge panel can now be taken out.


clear panel removed. using flat screw driver, the plastic clip/lock were unlatched.

[rmpmla]

gauges removed. the gauges are secured by screws at the back.


installing the LED strip, here you can still see the T10 LEDs but this were removed later on.


Up close

ito naman center console ang i-DIY ko including the bulb on the the hazard switch.

Pasensya na po at hindi ko lahat nakunan kung paano ko ginawa.

center console to dismantle


glove compartment was removed to access the 4 fastening screws of the bottom panel


A total of 6 screws holds this part.


to pull out the top panel, the 2 DIN stereo needs to be removed since it is using 2 common screws

*rhy_84, welcome to tsikot.

Sorry to hear about your accident. Mazda MPV is fast despite its size! Just this morning I travelled to Batangas via Star toll way. Drove at top speed of 180KPH with engine rev at 4,250 rpm. How's that for a 15 year old MPV.

Brand new spare parts are available in Banawe like Autorama, Fordland, and Mazford. For surplus parts, you can go to ALAS auto parts (also in Banawe). Or if you are in Aurora blvd. Cubao you can go to Mateo auto supply.
