NICE! From what I see it's just a very minor facelift, but all the
improvements made Swift looks better. And I noticed they have several spec
version, so depending on what you choose you'll get:-
- projector type headlamp with HID
- side mirror with LED signal indicator(all version)
- new tail lamp(not LED though)
- new grille (STYLE version)
- new alloy rim design or steel rim with cover(for cheapest version)
- "classic" look with walnut wood interior and brown leather seat for STYLE
version(for older retired couple,hehehe)
Anyway, I still think our M'sian spec swift is the best looking with all
the bodykit. Now to perfect the look, I shall source the OEM projector
headlamp and sidemirror from Japan, hehehe....

yo mel5582,
can I know where you sourced your projector headlamp, and how much was it?
Can I get locally? And does it inclusive of HID kit, and if not, how much?

Haha bro simpson, you cannot borrow :P If you borrow, gimme your Civic :P
nazirmz, I bought from Japan through a friend and no I did not take the HID
kit, but I would recommend you taking it. Price is about RM3.2k++ inclusive
of HID, shipping costs and taxation. :)
If you would like, SLR MultiLED Swift Sport tail lamps are arriving as
well, but currently if possible, I`m sourcing for SGP SS tail lamps. But of
course, MultiLED looks great as well, so I`m still deciding. Lotsa things
available, but not enough $ lol!

It really depends as well.. as Hui actually brought in the HID ballasts,
which covers the hole beneath the headlamp.. I`ll be checking it out later,
but if you`re talking about HID glare, the projectors are running on Xenon
D2S/D2R and the cut off is just beautiful :D I bought 10000k bulbs, as for
the brightness.. heh heh heh, tell you next time.
Btw, just FYI.. the Japan spec projectors is TOTALLY different from our
1.5L Swifts. I`m referring to the wiring as well as the functionality..
Since it includes a motor for deflectors.. I did a relay on the thingy, but
my current Phillips ballast doesn`t allow me to accommodate the "small"
light.. so the initial switch on would light up the projectors as well.
That`s why I asked Hui to source for the OEM ballasts..
