Do you have HID (High Intensity Discharge) headlights for the low beams?
Looks like they do get HIDs with auto level. Check out page 20 of the UK brochure:

I think you're right. My Kizashi has rubber valve stems and TPMS isn't mentioned anywhere in the brochure

Rat bastards! What's the part numbers? That's an option I would like to retrofit!

You simply mean the side mirrors fold by hand, not motor, correct?
If so, that's no different than what we have, SamirD.

We probably don't have front parking sensors because North America is generally much easier to park in than densely populated areas of Europe and Asia with limited parking spaces.[/quote]

No, the wing mirrors fold by using a switch just below the wing mirror adjusters.[/quote]

Yes we get the hid lights. As far as the cost goes I paid £14k (20000 dollars) new for the all singing and dancing sport although the original list price was 22k

Pic please! I'd love to see that switch.

Awesome link! That brochure has close up pictures of the front bumper showing the front parking sensors as well as an image of the headlight washer working. 8-)

I would like whole new front bumper with the sensors and HIDs please. :mrgreen:

What's also interesting in that brochure is they mention a 'bulb pack' as an accessory that comes with a spare bulb of what seems like every bulb in the car. Is this a real accessory? I liked that and the emergency pack with jumper cables and gloves.

And that makes changing to your snow set of tires a whole lot easier. ;)

Me too! Anyone willing to call up a local dealership and find out all the part numbers in the entire assembly? (switch, wiring harness, mirror assembly)

I'm sure we could order the parts here in the US with the right part numbers. 8-)

Checked, and the switch is the same shape in our door panels - where the switch goes is just blanked out. Curious if the wiring is there (it could very well be). If only the switch and mirror housing needed to be changed, that would make an awesome swap!
