Bro will stock HU affect the SQ? Or aftermarket HU like pioneer or alpine better? But I already have helix processor to "clean up" the sound signals.

bro after market HU definitely better la, u have helix processor it does improve so if ur ears not that sensitive to catch the difference then its ok.�

Ya bro. If not the poison never stops.... Looking at Rays grams light now.... Lol.
I think that will probably be my best fc.. now as i drive more shorter distances its becoming closer to 8l/100kmWah how u guys get so good FC? my first tank was 9.1l/km means around 11km/l and second tank was 9l/km also around 11km/l ...now onto my third tank ....and jus change to synthetic engine oil after 1k servicing ....will hope it gets better....and for servicing think pls dun chose eunos one....they give me present! (a dent)

And im still being gentle on the gas. And not even 1k km
Guess ill never get a good enough fc as say an altis?
BTW what's the eurostyle HU ah? Does it come as stock? Sx or ex or both?
Eurostyle is a company/ brand (cant recall) which install the aftermark HU for C&C/ Kmc locally.I think that will probably be my best fc.. now as i drive more shorter distances its becoming closer to 8l/100km

It's an upgraded HU compared to stock.

Don't be too worried over the fc bro. Kia is not well known for low fc. I believe you already know that when u r buying a Kia. Just enjoy the design and features of the car.
If we buy a Toyota then we can discuss and compare about fc.
You mean well known? I only know kia is average haha.Don't be too worried over the fc bro. Kia is not well known for low fc. I believe you already know that when u r buying a Kia. Just enjoy the design and features of the car.

But ure right la!
You mean well known? I only know kia is average haha.
But ure right la!
Ya average haha. There are cars that are worst in fc. Better not mention the brand here.
Really? My FC around 10-11km/L only. My friend's Mazda 3 14-15km/L, with iStop switched off some more.Actually not true lar... Kia and Hyundai's fuel consumption is quite close to Toyota now... can check online... difference is usually less than 1 km/L in real world conditions.
Same driving on average. City start stop, heavy foot.You can't compare like that... your drive routes, driving style are very important and these are very important. If you exchange cars, I dare say it's the same.
Eurostyle is the naming for the HU. It is installed by Tomo-CSE locally partnered with C&C.Eurostyle is a company/ brand (cant recall) which install the aftermark HU for C&C/ Kmc locally.
It's an upgraded HU compared to stock.
I've got my car a few days back but without the eurostyle HU cos no stocks. Once I arrives somewhere at the end of the month, I will go get it fixed. I heard the radio and touchscreen sensitivity is not that good. Is it true?
�
this eurostyle HU I have with some issue that I encountered from the day I received my K3.
�
1. Sometimes just hang... screen freeze... button or touchscreen just wont work
2. Sometime no sound at all
3. After put gear to reverse position, reverse camera activate, put gear back to other position (D or P), the reverse camera stay on... forever
4. Sometime GPS just freeze without I'm knowing it...
�
only way to resolve problems above, I need to stop the engine, wait for a while (maybe 2 or 3 minutes), and restart the engine again...
�
just live with it.. not a big deal... :)
�
as for the fc.... just drive, stop worrying and comparing... already paying much cheaper than others similar range of makes.. :)
And driving K3 close to�2 years.. quite reliable...

Goto tomo-cse...kia workshop can't do much with the hu.. It's sub out to tomo to install..chg whole hu if u can..You should get Kia to check and reset the unit or flash the firmware to prevent these random freezes. Could be RAM issues.
Edited by Kevinhwc, 27 June 2016 - 07:12 PM.
Wow... sounds like have quite a number of issues. I'd want it just for the reverse cam but at the same time I like to have music on while driving, so I hope the HU won't act up. I'm pretty happy with the in stock HU except there's no reverse cam. For GPS I can make do with Google map on my phone actually. Anyways since the eurostyle HU is free, I suppose I'll just take it as it is.this eurostyle HU I have with some issue that I encountered from the day I received my K3.

Good to know. Hopefully the one they will be installing in my k3 will be without any hiccups.The current model seems ok... this appears to be one off... so far don't have many owners here complain about it.

You should feedback to C&C. They and Tomo-cse do try to solve problems. Just that the owner got to bear the inconvenience of driving to the service center.
I guess there's no other way right? They'll hardly come to your home to fix it... only people driving Rolls Royce have this privilege... ha ha ha...You should feedback to C&C.

My current batch of Eurostyle rear view mirror. This is before C&C started to offer HU.

It has reverse cam, gps and camera. I also have issues when the GPS is active and navigating, if I switch to Reverse mode, there is a lag time before the reverse camera comes on and after I switch back to D, I will get a bluescreen for a long while before it function as normal again. Usually I have to force shutdown the eurostyle unit.
Anyone here replaced their Halogen bulbs with LED? Unfortunately, my SX does not come with HID.

Was it a simple bulb replacement or is there a need to add a ballast or LED controller?

Am looking at the Phillips H11 LED bulbs, but worried that it may not be bright enough for our low beam. Seems to be a quick bulb replacement. (Link to bulb website below)

How much is the Philips?

I am using LEDs with built in heatsinks, H8 for my foggies and H7 for lowbeams. Output is rated/claimed at 7200 lumens a pair.
�
Both bought from ebay, about S$50-60 a pair.

very good illumination and does not blind oncoming traffic as our headlights come with projection housings with a proper cut off to prevent glare.

H11 doesn't match any of your bulbs. If you're looking to replace the stock bulbs, be warned your headlights warranty will be void. 1 important thing to note is the wiring, it may catch fire when over heated, dont touch if you're sure about electrical.
Info you can find in your manual;�
Lo beam H7 55W
Hi beam H1 55W
Foggie H8 35W
Not all LED light available in the market are suitable, those no needs modifications come w/o heat sink and driver, but high watts and low Lumun, those with heat sink requires additional adaptor to fit and also concerned unable to contain it with the cap on.
What ever mod you do, remember not to mod the factory wiring/adaptor etc, you can revert back to stock easily for whatever reasons. It takes me almost 2 months trial and error to fit Lo & Hi beam w/o need to disturb the factory wiring/adaptor.
Happy searching and modding.

Same tot for HID initially, but after some searching, decided to go for LED instead. Claimed 30k~50K hours of life span, got to wait and see how it last.
HID has very high operating temperature tho

Not going for 18" or 8.5J rims, when on 18", you'll find your brake & rotor too small, next will be BBK, coil over and camber kit...haha, never ending, so i think i'll stick to 17"
Was think to change to SSBH and ATF cooler, any WS can do both at a time?
No need la bro don't do ATF cooler. You will invite more problems or void the warranty. Our brakes is good enough no need for SSBHThanks for the info bro.

I have been through all this and invited many new problems. Best is to keep car as stock as possible. Factory parts are the best parts for the car. Suggest you save the money to do other things like ice , at least you get to enjoy it Everyday and it's a world of difference compared to our stock sound.No need la bro don't do ATF cooler.

How to break in bro? I tried un wind the window, lock door, and unlock from inside and open door. No alarm. Use key to unlock door and open also no alarm.
hmm i tried opening the car door with car key after it was locked normally.. the car horn went off with hazard lights.
Ah mine don't have leh. How about other bros?hmm i tried opening the car door with car key after it was locked normally.. the car horn went off with hazard lights.
This is correct behaviour if I am not wrong. My Impreza also like that last time. Now my Sonata got no key hole to unlock like that so I can't test it.hmm i tried opening the car door with car key after it was locked normally.. the car horn went off with hazard lights.

The K3 comes with factory alarm. Open the bonnet and on the TOP left side will be the alarm. Your 'beeping' horn is behind the front bumper. To test the alarm, unwind the driver's side window, lock the door and remove the transponder key away from the car for more than 3ft. Wait for 1 minute for the car to be armed. Go and unlock the door and the ONLY the opening of the door will activate the alarm. Press unlock button on transponder key to disarm. Take note the transponder key must not be within 3ft of the car while waiting for the car to arm.

yeah the small box is the ballast. Able to share photos of the internal on how u hide everything into the casing? I'm thinking of changing the bulbs but wondering where to hide them.

Different ppl has different needs to the car, some preferred 100% stock. Some like to chng swee swee for cusmetic reason. Some like ICE, enjoying it while driving. Some on mod to enhance and some mod for tracking, etc, end of the day, need to spend for another round dekiting when in due.�
Depends on which cat you falls into and look at things, Im the latter. Some engine notes sound better then any music...But definately not my K3's...lol

HID comes with ballast. LED comes with driver. H1 Hi beam (with driver) and H8 Foggie (w/o driver) is plug and play. H7 you need additional adaptor and you need to grind the internal hole to fit the bulb body in.�
You need to chose the correct type and bulb size to contain everything within the casing. Some comes with cooling fan which i find it's invite problem when the fan broken down, you dont know how long it can last.
that sounds troublesome. I'm looking for a simple way to install it so I can revert it when needed, no grinding or cutting.

Indeed a bit of troublesome if dont have the tools and hands-on. You grind on the additional adaptor, the original wiring and adaptor is not disturb. I think it takes 15 mins for me to revert all back to stock. You can consider 5000K halogen bulb if you wants to save all the troubles, 100% P&P.

actually the ballast or driver box is quite small.
�
if u open up the covers for the main headlights, you will see there is alot of empty space all around.
�
just connect your cables and you can put everything inside, including the small box.

This I suppose can fit too? But I'm concerned if the heat sink is hidden inside the headlamp box will it overheat and catch fire.
�
should be able to fit.�
�
I was also concerned about temperature, and i was monitoring it closely the first few weeks of installation, opening up the box to check on temperatures after long night drives
�
- What I observed was that the temperature within the engine bay was hotter than the air within the headlamp box.
- The LEDs never got hotter in terms of temperature than what i remembered the halogens. Halogens you cannot handle directly after switching them off. The LEDs I could take them out and hold them quite quickly after switching them off.
so my conclusion was that the temperature is still within operating temperatures of the halogen bulbs, and closing up the cover probably doesn't make too much difference since the engine bay itself is hotter.
�
For a period of time I used the Leds with the cover open/exposed. However I find that this creates 2 problems. firstly dust can get into the headlight housing, and secondly water may get in as well.
�
I decided to just use it with the covers closed. The LEDs are cheaper than the Philips diamond visions, even if the fans fail prematurely, as long as they last as long as the halogens, they are worth the $$$$ for the pure white light and lower power consumption.

Just to confirm, there is a small box for the driver that we connect between the bulb and the headlight power right on top of the bulb shown in the pic?

I read somewhere that the headlight is H7 55W. Any issues using lower than 55W?
This I suppose can fit too? But I'm concerned if the heat sink is hidden inside the headlamp box will it overheat and catch fire.
Found ur one on ebay. seems like no driver/ballast.. is plug n play but they mentioned something abt some car require resistors else might encounter light up problem or dash board error. Dun think K3 will encounter the latter since we dun have any sensors for headlight.

thanks for the detailed findings.

Just to confirm, there is a small box for the driver that we connect between the bulb and the headlight power right on top of the bulb shown in the pic?

�
yes there is a small box for the driver. i hid that into our headlight housing. enough space.
�
lower power means less consumption, better efficiency. so should be good? If higher power, will need to upgrade the fuses also to prevent them from blowing? Not a very electrical person so i duno...
�
i saw some LEDs that are 120w! 4 sides all have the LED diodes, super bright. but i think those bulbs will be super hot temperature wise.
�
the 120w LED below. 12000LM!

120W is dangerous to use, our power cable is good for drawing 55W, over current will melt the power cable. Pls dont upgrade the fuse as well, it's worse if the fuse cant break when over current, so what happen next is power cable catch fire!
cant find a china one on ebay that has plug n play without the driver. juz opened up the cover of headlight.quite a bit of space with the wirings at the btm. But some effort to access the headlight, pretty tight on the side of the bonnet area.

good advise.

hehe my current LEDs are below 55w, so shld be ok. will stick to them. plenty bright enough already, although not as bright as HIDs.

ya the right side is more difficult to access.
�
after doing it a few times u will get the hang of it. :p
�
will surely have the driver box, just this pic u saw didnt include that.

actually, ours is 55W and the one i found is 30W each side so consider 30 or 60W? lol
�
Also wondering whether it is 70+ per pc or 1 set. They nv wrote anything abt that �lol
�
cos the one i found in the description wrote plug n play, no driver but i cant find info on it online. Not even reviews.
u mentioned that u hide everything inside the cover. I opened the cover earlier and saw wirings at the btm inside the headlight compartment. Will the driver be hot and damage the wiriing if we just throw it at the bottom or the onli hot part is the bottom of the bulb where the heatsink n cooling fan is.

Was told by the boss that LED bulbs with built in heat sink will not last as its hidden inside the headlamp cover and not safe.

the driver is not hot. only the heat sink is hot. hehe....they just nvr showed you the other components...
I went to my audio shop and asked for osram night breaker H7. The boss told me that the light is also yellowish. Changed also same. So end up got a Osram HID Conversion kit H7 6000k 35W. And LED foglights, and Stebel horns. All nicely done. HID kit nicely hidden and 100% plug and play.

nice blackie!
�
so how did they hide the hid? also all in the original headlamp housing?
�
HID operates at temperatures even hotter than LED.... I would say the first thing to spoil for the LEDs will probably be the fan. if the fan fails, just buy another LED....�
�
the prices i buy from ebay the LEDs are cheaper than philips diamond vision keke....
It's plug and play type with no cutting or modifications of wires. Ballast hidden underneath of headlamp housing. 5mins to revert back to yellowish halogen.the driver is not hot. only the heat sink is hot. hehe....they just nvr showed you the other components...

maybe i juz get the original stock HID headlight, 1.4k both side hehehe

Just install Osram HID bro. Any problem, only takes 5mins to revert back.

�
ha 1.4k is very pricey.... even if it is stock HID from Kia, it is still illegal in LTA eyes as it did not come stock from factory with your car.
�
i would rather use a 3rd pty HID or LED.
�
the LED is also easily revertible to halogens for inspections.

Bro HID need to be removed for inspection? Can try maybe can pass? Cos nowadays modern cars comes with Hid and our headlamp have projector , it looks stock. I think there's a batch of K3 SX comes with HID?

if you check your car log card on one motoring, you will find that whether it came with HID or Halogens is clearly recorded for every car.
�
so when you go for your inspection, they will know what it should come with.
�
whether pass or fail will depend on luck... since my LEDs are easily removable, i will use back halogens when time for inspection comes :)
Nice bro. Can share where u change it? And how much?I went to my audio shop and asked for osram night breaker H7. The boss told me that the light is also yellowish. Changed also same.

Our log card says what bulbs are installed? I just took a look at mine, cannot find where it says Halogen installed leh.
�
Maybe I am looking at the wrong card?
I think they not so free to look at log card for every cars that Come in. Long queue Everyday & doing the same thing day in day out very sian liao. As Long our headlamp is projector type should be fine. Reflector type definitely cannot use HID. I read that someone passed inspection with HID on our projector lamps.Our log card says what bulbs are installed? I just took a look at mine, cannot find where it says Halogen installed leh.
Maybe I am looking at the wrong card?
But one thing, how is the warranty affected ? Only void for headlamp? Or when wanna claim warranty just pull out everything ?
I think the housing is the same for both halogen and xenon. It's the power supply difference. Xenon requires high voltage while our supply to halogen is only 55W. Should upgrade the power supply instead of the plastic housing.
Hope this helps.

They dun need to look at log cards... just your registration number they will know what specs your car comes with... dun forget they passed the inspection when cnc import your cars in..which oso determines the omv...I think they not so free to look at log card for every cars that Come in.

Hid better not try if it's not stock...

You'll still passed overall even you'd failed headlights. I'd failed headlights for almost all of inspections...lol
But if you mask/tint your head/tail lights, they'll ask you if you want to remove it on the spot or you need to come back the second time, i chose to remove it on the spot...nbz
not possible if stock
Oh bro headlight test will not fail the entire inspection? You are using HID too? I know tinting of headlamp straight fail. Why u tint bro? Look nicer?You'll still passed overall even you'd failed headlights. I'd failed headlights for almost all of inspections...lol

It cannot be switched off.On headlights.. how do i turn off drl when engine is running?
Civic FD comes with HID reflector type, I changed to 5000k and LED T10 for pole light, never pass any of the inspection since, I'm always told by the inspector that my headlights failed, it's also stated headlight fail on cert but still got overall passed.Oh bro headlight test will not fail the entire inspection?

Ermm...I'm told each tint will gain 2 horses, so tinted all the head and tail lights hoping to get 8 ponies...hahaha
