Re: Vasantha Ashtra – Honda City i-Dtec 2014 – Golden Brown

Hi,

Your City looks awesome with Projector headlamps and new seat covers. May i know the shop in Hyderabad where that projector head lamps got fitted. I own a 2012 Honda city and would like to change the head lights like you changed (only for low beams).

Good choice on horns gandhi. Skoda type horns are very good and doesn't hurt ears. However, should be installed in such a way that water doesn't get it.

I have got Bosch symphony horns many months back. Check the following posts, #270, #281, #282 for details and #547 for snaps.

harry10, mgobinathbe look for both brands (Hella and Bosch) and choice which ever is cheap. I believe both are good in quality and sound same.

Thanks CRACING; I checked with the installation guy. He said that he did not used any relay's for connecting the Horns.

I installed the same location where the OEM horns were installed. And looks like water will not penetrate easily.

CRACING said:
Indeed but relay is not needed. At-least we (I and Dr MUDHAN) didn't used. For red grill and bigger horns, you may need relay.

Go ahead and fix some good horns. Front bumper has to be removed so best if its done in service center.

I tried with service center guys, these service team so adamant on any replacement.

Thanks Krams.

If you want to install the Projector headlight without voiding warranty, you can contact Pride Honda. But it will cost around Rs 35 to 38K. I forgot the actual price.

I got it installed from Fastracks, Minister Road, Secunderabad. Suresh - 900095252

The service Engineer Name Syed - 9581814747. This engineer only does the installation in Pride Honda.

You may reduce your price based on your bargain skills.

I ordered this storage pocket from Aliexpress. Inspired from Ford Fiesta 2014 & Audi. Planned to install in side of the center console. Any better ideas....

Hello,

Was actually confused between UT & GB colours prior to booking of my City ivtec VX. So was randomly searching for GB City owners. & that's how I came across your beautiful write up of "Vasantha Ashtra". I loved the detailed story. Also thanks because of your write up I signed up TAI & got versed with other interesting forums too.

Keep writing[cheers]

Hi Vishnu,

I too been a silent follower of you Amaze Ownership thread. Nice written and modifications.

Actually its comes with double sided tape. It can be pasted wherever we want. I want to place it near by center console area. The Quality of tape is not good which is coming with the organiser. I'm looking for good 3M double side tape to past it again.

Will post the pic latter.
