kia service bulletin addressing to the fogging/condensing headlight. This is the BS part I hate about Kia. How does it feel to pay 100 grand for a car and yet get a reply saying it is normal to have condensation in the headlights. I have yet to hear such comment from other makes.

I've heard it from other makes before. Subaru told me "It's normal, all like that"

Used a different grade for replacement, at least now it looks better. Dont worry about being the only K5, we are there to share and learn and all are welcome.

They wont simply change for you, you need to inform Kia first, Rikecool will offer something else and not the premium grade but works fine for me as well. PM me if you wanna know more.

replaced the factory speaker & did SP last week. I'm impress with the k5 door, totally sealed & very well build. There is reinforcement bar along the inner door skin, protection against side crash My previous mondeo & renault megane cabriolet door can't match the build quality of our k5. Nevertheless, our k5 can't produce the solid door shut sound....

My best mileage is 620 for one tank. Averaging about 600-610 per tank. I run Eco mode all the time.

More light-footed than anything else.
I live near the causeway and work in bukit merah, so alot of highway but usually jammed highways, stop and move traffic which is no diff from city driving. In the mornings i have to deal with either the SLE/CTE crawls or PIE/bukit timah/queensway crawls. In the evenings the only smooth sailing i have is if i go home by CTE. Bukit timah/PIE also crawls.
Since i'm always in a crawl, no point being heavy-footed cos you just have to hit the brakes again a few seconds later.

Actually our projector is yellowish so when I install 10k it beam become white. So to match the colour. my fog change to 8k so its not blueish colour. Actual 10 k very blueish.
