Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: Question about road-legal H4 LED
« Last post by Kenneve on August 30, 2024, 04:53:49 PM »Have a look at www.classiccarleds.co.uk.
They list led bulbs suitable for the Jazz from 2002 onwards.
Prior to my latest Jazz, I have used their LLB472 for many years without a problem.
They are not cheap, but do the job, having a beam pattern virtually identical to the original.

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Question about road-legal H4 LED
« Last post by mmhello on August 30, 2024, 12:46:42 PM »Hello everyone. So scrolling through Amazon I’ve seen Osram and Philips road-legal (at least in Germany and Austria - and I live in Bulgaria, so technically still EU) H4 LED which are specifically made for retrofitting. When I’ve checked Osram’s website about compatibility mk2 Honda Jazz is there, mk1 is not, but given the similarities of the headlights and the reflector type it should not be a problem.
Has anyone got a legit LED for their first gen Honda Jazz?
Osram H4
Philips H4

Buy your car parts from a real motor factory who guarantees authenticity.

Sadly they are a real faff to replace due to location, but I managed it!Compared with the NGK one for my jazz (gg5), I found the specs for BOSCH one and NGK one are different at electrode gap (1.1 mm vs. 1.3 mm) and spark position (4 mm vs. 3.5 mm). Just wondered if you found these differences on your plugs and adjust them? cheers

Found one with part number of FR7KII33X (0242236599), way cheaper than NGK ones. cheers
No difference in mpg over two years.

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / My thoughts on lowering springs
« Last post by UKjim on August 29, 2024, 06:11:25 PM »Since swapping to the GK5 from the GD, I have been toying with the idea of fitting rear wheel spacers and lowering springs mainly to remove the slightly 'gawky' look the car has particularly from the rear. I fitted the wheel spacers some months back and also started deliberating which springs to go for.
I ruled out anything more than a 25mm drop as this would compromise the ride too much and risk damaging the car on speed bumps. The choices for the GK are extremely limited and one of the most common sports spring manufacturers Eibach don't list springs for the GK.
After a lot of research online and particularly on the US Fitfreak forum I decided to order Swift Springs from the US, they have a drop of 1 inch at the front and 0.9 inches at the rear. The Swifts are sadly not available in the UK and by anyones standard not cheap and neither was the carriage, VAT and import handling, they took a couple of weeks to arrive.
They have been on the car for 2 weeks now and I have had the alignment done and covered about 400 miles. The ride is only slightly firmer but less choppy and bouncy, the car feels much more 'planted' on the road and turn in is much sharper, overall I'm very pleased.
Best of all the stance of the car looks great, it doesn't look obviously modified and unless you knew the Jazz model well, you really wouldn't notice anything different until you compare it with the standard car.
