I was browsing through the gallery when I saw This photo. Could someone tell me how do you remove the orange bit to make the headlamps look like the one in the photo or is it a default (factory made) design? Thanks in advance.. :)

may they rest in peace.

An expert (Dr Brace) reveals ten essential tips to increase your fuel economy - and reduce your bills 1 Treat your car to some TLC 'You should have your car regularly serviced and carry out maintenance checks of your own. Fresh oil will better lubricate the engine, while the correct tyre pressures ensure optimum rolling resistance for your rubber.' 2 Lighten up 'You may carry your life around with you in the boot of your car, but you'd be better off leaving it at home. The heavier the car, the harder the engine has to work, so a 15 percent weight increase will see economy fall by the same amount.' 3 Starting and idling 'People are tempted to leave their car to warm at idle before a journey, but it's better for the engine and economy if you warm it up on the move. And when you come to a halt again, switching the engine off at the traffic lights saves you wasting fuel. Around a litre an hour is burned at idle.' 4 Smooth mover 'When you're driving, smoothness with the controls is key to making your fuel go further. Acceleration should be measured and progressive and you should aim to stay within the engine's peak torque band - typically 1,500 to 2,500rpm in a diesel and 2,000 to 3,000rpm in a petrol-powered car. Another tip is to avoid coasting in neutral. It's a common misconception that this saves fuel, but actually modern engines don't consume fuel when coasting in gear.' 5 Slippery customer 'Think about how long designers and aerodynamicists spend trying to make a car's body cut smoothly through the air. By opening your window or sunroof, or piling bikes and boxes onto the roof, you're ruining all that hard work. And it can heavily impact on the car's economy.' 6 No drain = no pain 'As a rule, anything that puts a drain on the battery will put a drain on your economy - for example, air conditioning or lights ablaze. But worse still is a battery in poor condition with relatively little charge. If the alternator is busy working away trying to charge the battery, it places a drain on the engine which hits the economy.' 7 Timing is everything 'Driving in heavy stop-start traffic is going to hurt. So if you're a commuter and can possibly avoid the rush hours, you'll really notice the improvement in fuel consumption. Needless to say though, that's easier said than done!' 8 Open your eyes 'Looking ahead and anticipating obstacles is key to cutting your fuel bills. Find the path of least resistance and keep plenty of space around you. That way, you can dictate your own pace and always react calmly and in a measured fashion to changes ahead. Roundabouts and traffic light junctions are prime examples of where you should be aiming to maintain momentum. And when driving across country, try and maintain a steady, composed pace which eliminates the need for constant braking and acceleration.' 9 No need for speed 'The speed limits are there for everyone's safety, but those who flaunt them are not only endangering theirs and others' lives, they are consuming more fuel. Stick to the limits.' 10 The fuel rule 'Cheap, non-branded fuel may perform poorly, so try and search out a mainstream supermarket or fuel company before filling up. High performance ‘super-type' petrol and diesel fuels such as Shell V-Power can burn more efficiently and improve your engine's economy, but shop around for the lowest price first or you won't feel the benefit!'

I know but last time they didn't mention about the LHD. And even the MOT guy said that I should have gone for the LHD as they were for the RHD and throwing lights to the right. But if you guys think that I would be taking a risk then I'd better stick with my original ones.. :)

That was me who bought & fitted those lights in the past. I had to change them because they fail on MOT. But I miss the look of those lights on my car and that is why I wanted to buy them again but making sure I get full information this time & your opinion too.

I have just recieved an e-mail from them and they say that these projectors are UK road legal. E-mail follows below: Dear Customer, Yes, we do have both LHD and RHD with E-mark for MOT approved. Please visit us at our site for more special parts and sales: http://www.cargym.com/ Please feel free to email us if you have further questions. Thank you.

Ebay item number: 170319359229 Ok, now the seller says that they are Europe road legal and you can buy them for left & right-hand drive. Do you think they will pass the MOT?

I appreciate your fast help. I have just ordered that maplight that Steviewevie had helped me to find out & for those fog lights, I wouldn't go for them now. Thanks a lot :)

I am thinking of buying those LED fog lights for my IS200. Ebay item No: 280334636397 Plus looking to buy LED White Map bulb. Please help me find them on ebay.

Helps in a manual 2 :) Is there any down-side of using the snow mode? like damage to the engine or coil pack etc..?

where did you get it from? I am tired of my cream interior, please let me know...

Thanks a lot. I followed the procedures and it is working now. By the way my car is normally parked right next to the runway at Heathrow Airport (in the car park) and on some occasions I park it at the police station. So it could well be the radio intervention from aircraft and police scanners. On this instance it was at the police station. I remember when I went to visit a friend in Crystal Palace few months ago and the same problem occurred. And as we all know, Crystal Palace is littered with those giant transmitters/ antennas either for TV or Telecommunications, so one got to be extremely careful. Regards, Niwinars :)
