will post a pic as soon as I figure out how to, you are talking to an oldie here you know :D but it was pretty easy. I got the led strips off ebay, 24 led's, 24" long each & they just go on with a decent double sided tape under the lip just above the fog lights. I poked around in the engine bay fuse box till I found a connector that was live with ignition. Then I saw the post re relay #33 for power & that was even better. The flexible strips make it easy to follow the curve above the fog lights. These are the strips I used, hope the link works

I live in Melbourne in the northern suburbs & I've had my Pearl white Kizashi XLS for less than a year. I love the car! Just had the pulley replaced as per the recall from Suzuki. Took a while for the part to come through though.

Mine is a 2011 model only a few weeks old & I am unaware of any recall, maybe it's already been done on mine. I only have one problem & that is dashboard reflection onto the windscreen when the sun is in the right position. It can be quite bad so I'm going to try a dash mat & hope that fixes it. I have the white AWD sport model & people have commented on the paintwork, very nice :D

Just a further note to my post. I've a factory bluetooth fitted to my car. Whilst I don't have any problems pairing it to my iPhone 4, I find that it doesn't always re-connect to my phone when I've been out of the car for an extended period of time. What I have to do then is to disable the blue tooth on the iPhone and enable it again for it to pair sucessfully. This is most annoying! In my previous car, I never had to turn off blue tooth on my phone. The blue tooth car kit never failed to pair up whenever I returned to the car. Does anybody else have this problem? :shock:

My model comes with the Rockford Fosgate stereo, not sure if yours is the same & it auto connects with my phone every time. To be honest, I would ditch the phone as everybody I know who has a iphone eventually has problems with it. I have a HTC & my son has a Samsung Galaxy 2, both far superior than a iphone. Sorry to hear you are having problems

Looks like I might be getting the dash mat for Fathers Day :D Yep, I will let you know if it works. I'm not expecting a miracle but any improvement would be great
