Asian Model

Just wanna check....I was told the Tribute here in Asia are built in Japan, that's why we have diff features. Here in HK only offers 2 trims, 2.0 litre and the V6. Mine is the V6 with ABS, side airbag, 4WD, power antenna, ignition slot is lit, cargo area is lit, diff leather seats, centre console, etc. Only the only problem I had so far was the headlight melted blobs problem. *plink plink*

what was the reason and solution to the headlight melted blobs? I just noticed that I now have the same problem in my right headlight after coming home from me trip to Memphis, TN. I'm going to call my dealership today. So far, this has been myu first *real* problem. Hope this is not a sign of more to come.

Hey,<br>The reason was due to the overheating of the bulb itself. Mazda changed the bulb for me. They said they have used a newer version of the bulb which won't heat up that easily and without jeopardizing the light intensity at all. It's been fixed for almost a month and so far so good. Hope this helps.<br><br>Phil

Thanks, Phil!<br><br>Courtney

"..ignition slot is lit..."<br><br>You mean your ignition keyhole actually has a light like most vehicles???<br><br>If this is so, I'm very interested in finding out how to get that item somehow installed on the N. American model of the Tribute. Any info you can provide will be greatly appreciated. :)

hi,<br><br>yeah, it's lit. The keyhole has a ring around it where it lights up. I just don't know how to get it installed cause it comes with the car. It's just a standard feature here. So is it true the tributes here are assembled in Japan?<br>Sorry, can't be of much help.
