Matt156c 1st Gear September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 If HID is fitted correctly, you won't encounter issues such as blown fuse. A few of us fitted them and never encountered these issues. At most an error stating "Check Headlight" but that is because of a faulty bypass. Otherwise, all is good. Make sure one engages a good installer as they can zero in very quickly on the issues should there be any. Anyway, all PMs replied. Until today, I have yet to have to ball to install HID, damn. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorjiam 1st Gear September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 Now in retrospect, we know your hid is ok. The problem was elsewhere. Lol. But anyways, recently chanced upon a "very good" hid installation. So guys please look for a decent installator Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theredstar 2nd Gear September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 I'm new to 159. Don't really understand most of the things u guys are discussing here. Quafie? 3.2? Alfa got many poison? Nightz Concepts is good for all my lighting needs. Very knowledgeable and responsible owner and team. Spray paint and knock I go to Kian Teong Auto at Sin Ming area. Very helpful and friendly boss.

Count_duku 4th Gear September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 (edited) Lately I have been having some difficulty in slotting in gears 2,4,6 on my manual 159. Peter advised to spray lubricant on the gear linkage cables - as he was busy with other cars he showed me the area where the cables are. I found 2 cable-like objects to the left/underneath the battery and sprayed a can of silicone lube (which I use for my squeaking wipers) on the cables and the metal pivots they were attached to. The shifting seems to have improved, especially in the mornings when the gears feel the most resistance .. hope it stays that way Edited September 7, 2012 by Count_duku Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torquemeister 1st Gear September 8, 2012 Share September 8, 2012 Sigh some a-----e just hit and run on my car again. Terrible scratches near the fuel tank side. Anyone know of any good spray paint shop in Sin Ming (cos near my place) to recommend? Time to buy 4D on my number this weekend. So heng hohoho Go to City Auto and ask for Jason. They do excellent work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torquemeister 1st Gear September 8, 2012 Share September 8, 2012 they fixed it well. I learnt that 3.2 comes with headlight spray is TO COOL THE HID But 2.2 does not, so cannot fix HID No headlight spray is to wash headlights - nothing to do with cooling HID. Otherwise they would all overheat I hardly ever use the headlight washer (comes on with windscreen washer) - maybe 15 - 20 times in two years if that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorjiam 1st Gear September 10, 2012 Share September 10, 2012 I thought your car now came with HID as standard. I was helping to troubleshoot a 159. I wonder if it has caught fire yet. I used a 2W load resistor instead of a 5W one. Oh well, too busy these days to go SLT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
