| ![]() OK. I think atleast Naveen knew that it was just a figure of speech and not in any way meant to instigate him into sudden violence against anyone/anything. You ought to relax a bit now and then. Otherwise all I can say is that nitpicking has got a whole new meaning on this forum. |

| ![]() ^^ naveen, glad to see the car back in full glory again & the drls look good. Upon seeing them on the car, I would say that they look better than expected to me personally as I feel that they are small enough to be subtle yet big enough to be seen across a distance. ![]() Drive safe mate. |

| ![]() ^^ hey naveen, just a word of caution (though you might already be aware) which is that I had read many a folks here sharing their experiences on ECU troubles in swifts post windscreen film installations. This was owing to the fact (as per the posts I had seen) that the ECU is inside the cabin in a swift & possibly right under the windscreen behind the dash & the water used during film installation creeps into it since the ECU is not a sealed unit on this car. Do exercise caution while getting the windscreen film installed. Lastly, I recently got a chance to get first hand reviews about the windscreen film from a colleague of mine. I had to see the car (during night) to believe that the view ahead looked like a curtained one. The film was about 2 years old & we got it removed today & the difference is clear. It was really difficult driving that car with the film on the windscreen. The film was from 3M itself, the model no. I am not aware. So, do think it through once again before deciding to go ahead with windscreen films. Drive safe. |

![]() I have heard about the ECU issue on TBHP too. But, after consulting with over 15-20 Swift owners with front windshield sun films installed, I feel the confidence to go ahead with it. For the second point - This was one major concern I had. I didnt want to have this difference or as you called "curtain" effect when these are installed. I have seen many rides with this problem. I totally stand against this. But I have seen many rides where it's completely black outside, but from inside it feels that there are not tints installed. After going through these rides, I came to know that these are expensive. But luckily, I found one Swift (fellow bhpian from blore), that's got what I wanted. A gradient/transition kinda sun film and comes around 5k. I have attached his ride. These are with the front sunfilms installed and the second pic shows his side sun films too just to feel the difference. Cheers. | |

| ![]() Hey Naveen. Nice looking car there. Can the DRLs be switched on individually? Or is it connected to the parking lights? Again, are they purely aesthetic or are they of some use? Cheers! Cartman. ![]() |

They are purely for the 'bling' factor. This aint that bright as you see as OEM fitment in luxury cars. Cheers.! | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I have been pondering for quite some time to install front windsheild films. Felt it may be difficult at night But, am more inclined to do it for two reasons. 1) Remove dasboard reflection that is disturbing at times 2) assist in reducing blindness caused by high beem drivers |

| ![]() @naveen: From the pics you have posted, the visibility does not seem to be a problem because in my colleague's car, we would have difficulty in even well lit areas. But pictures can only tell that much, however, if you feel confident, then you should try it because the benefits would definitely be noticeable. The biggest reason that I had been personally inclined towards them was the heat reduction & glare reduction. Let me know which brand & model you specifically went ahead with. Take care, drive safe. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() How are they 'DRLs' if you've connected them to the parking lights? Are you driving with your parking lights on during the day as well? |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Yes. I know. Anyways, I wont be using these as DRL's since it aint necessary here. So I have directly connected to the parking light. |
