  Query lang sa LED headlamps, anong locally available brand ba ang may mataas na CRI? Been using Novsight, 6000K color, kaya lang not satisfied sa night driving, medyo washed out yung kulay at mahirap makadistinguish ng shapes pag malayo. Tried to go back sa halogens, though mahina ang liwanag, pero distinguisable ang objects talaga during pitch-black countryside driving.

  anong specific model ng novsight mo? heavy/tinted ba windshield mo?

• xMaJox on 21 Jun 22 @ 01:56 PM #

  
  
  Ito gamit ko sa honda mobilio ko and so far okay naman. Big improvement from stock halogens. Ako na lang din nagkabit. May free pang T10 bulbs yung pinagbilhan ko. GInamit ko pamalit sa park lights.

• khernitzz on 21 Jun 22 @ 05:18 PM #

  @statix,
  
  35% VLT windshield tint ko, using F06. Maliwanag naman siya, kaya lang, pag around 150m siguro, medyo mahirap na madistinguish yung objects since they tend to look like whitish/greyish washed-out outlines. I'm not sure if its the color temperature, pero parang wala din namang available na 3600-3900K na LED na similar ang temperature sa halogen. Meron si PIAA na 4000K pero can't find reliable data din about it's CRI.
  
  @xMaJox,
  
  I did a bit of googling sa model na yan and some sites say na >70 CRI siya, though not sure kung reliable yung information, but if its true, then it may be suffering the same case with my Novsights.

  Tatlo lang kami papi. Weight wise, dalawang tao lang nga kasi ako, wife at baby ko na 1.5 years old. Tapos kargado lang namin na extra bigat yung stroller at car seat.
  
  @Uninvited
  Thanks boss, nakaka-revise narin ng expectations. di pa naman final din yung 11km/L kasi di pa ulet ako nagpapa full tank. Hinahantay ko pa yung next roll back.hehe. kaso baka umakyat nang umakyat eh. Bahala na. Buti talaga, naka fleet card yung office car ni misis.

  @blue apple pencil
  I am driving a Mobilio which has the same engine as BRV, usual FC is 13KM/L for mixed city-highway use for the past 12 pandemic months. Nag Baguio kami last April, 14KM/L paakyat and ikot sa Baguio, 16KM/L pababa to Manila.

  expected ko kasi N37 ang gamit mo. ok naman ang reviews kasi ni N37.
  anyway, sa color temp nga yan paps. big factor din ang wind shield tint. 6500K is white/daylight kasi kaya yung mga dark colors like asphalt mag mukhang washed out talaga.
  4000K ok na yan which is somewhat closer to all weather halogen bulbs na. meron 4300K and 5000K si KS pero sobrang OA naman sa presyo. magkano ba yun PIAA @ 4000K?
  
  eto gamit ko ngayon, wala pang 1 month. walang tint windshield ko so ok lang naman ;
  
  
  

• khernitzz on 23 Jun 22 @ 07:52 AM #

  ^, medyo pricey din si PIAA, kaya gusto ko sigurado ako before biting the bullet. Windshield tint is another topic — so far yan ang lightest ceramic tint na available locally na neutral ang color, higher ones, yung 60-65% VLTs are either blue or green shaded, so that's where I settled (35% VLT). Ayaw ko din kasi mag-bare sa windshield kasi I'll be obliged to use those dash covers para lang mapahaba yung buhay ng dash ko at hindi mag crack agad due to UV exposure.

• minamalas on 23 Jun 22 @ 10:35 AM #

  Speaking of dashcam, i use capacitor type and removable para kapag nakapark sa arawan madaling i-manage and long life kahit maarawan.

  Guys, kailangan ko bang ifully-deflate(from 34psi) yung tire pag mag palit ng valve stem?
  pwede din ba kahit sa flatland lang(wala kasi akong pang jack ng car)

  Issue: sa shell station kasi ako laging nagpapahangin(monthly) kaso kahapon error(ayaw mahanginan nung front left tire) baluktot kasi yung valve core
  
  
  pero pag uwi ko ginamit ko yung portable tire inflator gumana naman (maingay at sobrang init kagad after 5mins/5psi) kaya bihira ko lang gamitin

• lxi97 on 26 Jun 22 @ 05:57 AM #

  ^ lahat ng kotse may free jack. Kung nawala yung sa iyo, magandang investment na bumili ka ng kapalit.

  Same sakin. Parang na-bend ng gas station pips. Pinapalitan ko sa vulcanizing shop. Libre lang kasi suki ako haha. 1 minute lang hindi na nila tinaas. Hindi ko nakita kung pano ginawa kasi ang bilis di ko napansin tapos na pala.

• taobakoinay on 28 Jun 22 @ 03:09 PM #

  may tool yata sila ginagamit na kahit bumubuga ng hangin palabas yung pito eh hindi natatangal yung pamalit na valve dun sa tool at yun din gamit nila pampihit...

• Azzrock on 28 Jun 22 @ 09:34 PM #

  may ma i recommend ba kayong Tire Pressure Monitoring System?

• xMaJox on 04 Jul 22 @ 05:32 PM #

  may ma i recommend ba kayong Tire Pressure Monitoring System?

  
  Gamit ko yung external TPMS na ang monitor is naka-install sa android head unit. Parang ganito yung sa akin
  <click here for link>

• khernitzz on 05 Jul 22 @ 09:37 AM #

  Parang na-bend ng gas station pips

  
  
  That's why pag nadaan ako sa gas station, ako na mismo bumababa sa sasakyan at ako na din ang naglalagay ng hangin. That way, I can be sure na tama inflation ng hangin, at the same time, nagkaka-visual inspection na din ako sa mga gulong ko.
  
  

  may ma i recommend ba kayong Tire Pressure Monitoring System?

  
  
  Rather, bring your trusty tire gauge. Malaking bagay ang visual inspection ng gulong. It will only take around 2 minutes to go around and check the tire pressure and condition ng tires while doing a quick warm up ng engine sa umaga.

• synchr0n1z3r82 on 05 Jul 22 @ 07:21 PM #

  every 2 months ako nagpapahangin, bente lang yan, easy fix XD
  
  himas method pa rin sa gulong para macheck tire pressure.

• statix on 05 Jul 22 @ 08:57 PM #

  having a TPMS, it's better than nothing. but maybe it's just me.

  ako inalis ko external TPMS kase sinisira niya yung rubber ng pito dahil sa centrifugal force siguro. kung mag papakabit ako ng TPMS ay internal na, kaso iniisip ko paano kapag mag tire rotation na?

• statix on 05 Jul 22 @ 09:30 PM #

  ^wala naman ako naging problema sa mga external TPMS/valve stems ko for almost 8yrs na.
  
  

  kaso iniisip ko paano kapag mag tire rotation na?

  
  
  pwede naman i- re-pair/re config yan. ang hassle lang sa internal types kung kailangan mo na magpalit ng battery. pupunta ka pa sa tire shop para ipabaklas tires mo.

• clay005 on 07 Jul 22 @ 10:56 PM #

  Admin and Sir's wala kasi ako mapag tanungan.
  
  Well this is about LTO DL renewal and adding restrictions. So sa october mag expire ung license ko then kukuha ako ng motorcycle this August so papadagdag na din ako ng restriction. Pwd ko ba pagsabayin ung renewal and ung pag add ng resitriction number 1 para isang process na lang? si manong guard kasi sa LTO malapit samin hindi ako masagot ng maayos.
  
  Thanks... and sorry kung out of topic..

• frequenzy on 07 Jul 22 @ 11:10 PM #

  @clay
  pwede sabay, pero kung magadd ng restriction alam ko kailngan mo ng PDC certificate for motorcycles

• blue_apple_pencil on 08 Jul 22 @ 12:58 AM #

  sakay narin ako sa usapang LTO, ilang beses na to natatanong pero di tumatak sa utak ko yung sagot (di kasi ako nagtanung suri hehe)
  Regarding rehistro ng kotse. Yung amin kasi mag 3 years na, mag expire yung rehistro sa November 2022. 7 yung last digit nung plate. Tanung: kelangan ko na ba mag parehistro netong July? Or pwede mga October (1 month bago expiration)

• lxi97 on 08 Jul 22 @ 05:03 AM #

  ^ before nov22 pero kailangan mo ulit by july '23

• blue_apple_pencil on 08 Jul 22 @ 12:54 PM #

  Thanks boss Ixi97. Yan ang ideal na ganap. Kasi kung kelangan namin mag renew this month, taghabol pa kami. Salamat ulet sa pagsagot!
