Most countries require automatic leveling as well as washers when HIDs are fitted and although some people fit aftermarket units; on the most part they are illegal.

4000kelvin Philips Blue Vision (halogen bulbs) look good and are pretty bright too. You can get them for fogs too.

Aftermarket HIDs does not invalidate the warranty as long as there is no splicing and cutting of the wires going to the bulb. Installing HIDs is just plug and play, you disconnect the socket powering the stock bulb, remove the stock halogen bulb, insert the HID bulb, plug the wire of the ballast to the HID bulb, and plug the recently disconnected socket to the ballast. Sir xenon headlamp/Richmond, maybe you can correct me if some of what I have typed is wrong.

It does not also invalidate the insurance as per the in house insurance company of Diamond Motor Corp. (Pioneer Insurance)

plano ko sana lagyan ng 100/90w na headlight tulad ng ginawa ko sa innova namin
TIA

Ill go for HID's hirap na kasi galawin ang wires ng montero for safety issues na din, HIDs has 35watts and 55 watts which is better bec. brighter na siya wala ka na gagalawin sa wires mo plug and play na din. and you could choose the color that you think would be nice for you... HTH

sir, with all due respect, question out of curiosity only. In my own personal experience a little difference in HP and torque is not that significant on the streets. I see a lot of montys having a hard time "racing" other vehicles and the other way around. I guess a powerful engine does not automatically translate to "the king of the road". May i know the significance of an experienced driver compared to the power of an SUV? peace!

Quick comparison with 2010 or older - - the 2011 has more horses, is that a new engine?, touch screen AV LCD with GPS (is that what I think it is?) reverse camera, plus a lot more . . . Why is it cheaper? I planning to buy this one vs the Fortuner or the everest unless there is something we don't know yet? I got the specs below in case you havent seen them yet.
