I have a vitz ILL 1.3 since 2010. Reliable car. Two years ago my HID headlamps were troubling me and I replaced with new units meant for the equiv Yaris. The new headlamps were for Halogen bulbs. I changed the wiring slightly without cutting wires to suit the halogens. Now, two years later I find that I cant adjust the level of the lamp units. Looks like the units come with auto headlamp levellers. Now the options open to me are to buy two new levellers or switch back to the original expensive HIDs. What would you recommend? Is there a place in Colombo where I can buy used headlamps ie with HID bulbs, levellers and ballasts?
Officially joined the thel-hinganna normie horde with ....drumroll... a 2025 Vezel... I am eagerly anticipating joining the 'thel keeyak karanawada' debates at almsgivings.
Recently, got the opportunity to see and get inside of The one and only Japanese V12, Toyota Century(a.k.a Japanese Rolls Royce). Is it really upto Rolls Royce standards? Nope, I don't think so. Items like Switches and mirror housings are in plastic. But, we can be assured that the dashboard will not light up like Christmas and would run forever....
...and just like that from having parking space issues a few month's back I'm car-less.
The cost of renting something for a month or two (even more - personal imports have been quite messy of late) made me wonder if it actually makes sense to buy a quickly disposable car and get rid of it in a couple of months - but it seems the 'popular' models aren't moving. A few messages to sellers (registered owners) on marketplace resulted in them sending me daily price reduction updates.
Sleepless nights have begun. I'm twisting between SL320 and SL500. Should I just pay additional 2000 euros more and go for the SL500 and go broke or settle with a SL320?
