myvi fog lamp bulb

Why is there only 1 rear fog lamp on my car?

Did you know that the car with the cheapest car with fog lamps is the Kia Picanto 1.2 EX? When the car was launched earlier this year, the new generation joined the ranks of having at least 1 fog lamp on it’s rear end. While it seems like fog lamps are common placed items, it’s actually not something that all cars have installed as regulations have yet make it a “must-have” yet. So now you know that one of the selling points in the Picanto is that the car has 1 fog lamp that replaces the second

How and when to use fog lamps - without being annoying

Oh it’s one of those topics again. Written many times, shared even more, but somehow people still get it muddled. Honestly it’s feeling like the Proton X50’s ‘what’s the price?’ question (no, the price isn’t out yet, here’s why) because people still bang on about it with unfounded theories. And what’s the issue this time? Oh yeah, fog lamps. Bad rep because of misuse Right, contrary to conventional ricer beliefs fog lamps are actually - would you believe it? - practical!

My reverse light, note singular, is working fine!

Let’s paint a scenario, you reverse your spanking new car into a parking lot, hopped out of your car and a good Samaritan came up to inform you that you’re missing a reverse light and strongly advice you to have it changed for safety reasons. FYI, there’s nothing wrong with your car. Because many cars are now equipped with 1 reverse light while the slot for the other light has been replaced with a rear fog lamp. Contrary to popular arguments online (just Google it, it’s quite a heated debate), c

Is your Toyota Hilux too tame? Mod it with this Modellista kit, available in Malaysia

Owners of the Toyota Hilux who feel their pick-up truck is a little too humdrum can now look towards Modellista's latest kit - which is now available in Malaysia! The multi-piece kit is relatively simple - up front, the touches include a set of fog lamp garnishes, a front spoiler, and a grille garnish. Along the sides, it's beefed-up by a set of gloss-black overfenders, new wheels, and striping. The back looks pretty untouched, and like most other Modellista kit, no performance modifications wer

Are LED headlights better than halogen headlights in bad weather?

With headlight technology advancing over the years, it does seem archaic to still be comparing halogen headlights and LED headlights. But with most “normal” cars still being offered with halogen headlights, choosing between halogen headlights and LED headlights is still a relevant question for most of us. We’ve talked about this before, and concluded that if you planned on replacing your current halogen bulbs with aftermarket LED bulbs, the LED bulb would have to mimic the OEM halogen bulb as cl

Halogen vs LED headlights: Which is better?

Halogen headlights were first introduced in 1962. LED headlights followed 46 years later in 2008 (Lexus). Like all new technologies, LEDs first became available in premium cars only. The use of LED headlights can now be found in premium variants of some cars like the Honda City and Honda Civic. HID lights are only offered in handful of brand-new cars so we’ll leave them out of the conversation. Premium brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW only offer LED headlights in all their models in Malaysia. T

2020款Perodua Myvi S-Edition对比Myvi GT:你会选哪一个?

Perodua在文莱发布其它车型的同时,出人意料地发布了2020款Perodua Myvi S-Edition。 Myvi S-Edition很大程度上是受到了2018 Kuala Lumpur国际车展(2018 KLIMS)上展出的Myvi GT的影响。 不过,与基于Myvi 1.5 AV打造的Myvi GT不同,在文莱发售的Myvi S-Edition将以入门级的Myvi 1.3G为平台。 让我们仔细地来对比一下Myvi S-Edition和两年前展出的概念车有何不同。 外观——对概念车做了简化以便量产 一眼看上去,Myvi S-Edition的车头设计很大程度上受到了Myvi GT的启发,但同时也做了一些细微的调整。 举例来说,与Myvi GT上用红黑色前格栅不同,Myvi S-Edition的上部进气格栅是网格状的。此外。Myvi S-Edition也丢掉了概念车上的红色装饰。 从侧面看,S-Edition换上了新的14英寸铝合金轮圈、车身贴纸和侧裙。很遗憾,没有饱满的17英寸铝合金轮圈、可调式悬吊和Brembo煞车了。Myvi GT上的微妙曲线也没有出现在Myvi S-Edi
