I finally managed to install the headlight bulbs for Phillips Blue Vision. It took some time to figure out. The instructions in the manual is for the removal of the running lamp. The headlight ones are not screwed or rotated. But rather they use a retaining spring. Much easier to remove than i thought.
Now the headlights are brighter and whiter than the stock bulbs but no where near the whiteness of the other non-compliant bulbs.
Next will be adjusting the headlights beam. Mine was not right from the day I collected. Its pointing to the left. On the Minz very easy to adjust.. There are 2 black knobs on each headlight casing. One to adjust the L-R and the other for UP-DOWN.

I paid a total of $400 for the speakers including labour and installation. Initially wanted to install an amp and a subwoofer but its out of my budget! It would cost $1k for the full setup with subwoofer. But that would be a really nice setup.. Hmm.. I just noticed that my rattling seem to come from the railing on the rear panel which the sliding door slides on. They charged me $65 per door. The front doors now no longer sound hollow when you knock them. Huge difference when you knock on the front door compared to the sliding door thats not sound proofed.. Oh yeah.. I managed to get some pics of my speaker setup! Here they are: including the soundproofing?

$400 is just for the speakers and installation.
Soundproofing is separate.

Melvin think your Hafei is one of the neatest and tidiest one that I have seen so far.
My boot and my dash are embarassingly cluttered! The rear view mirror is nice... I like that.. Safe too...
I also added the door trim. But I applied it at the next line below where you applied yours. This part was the part that protrudes out the most.
I must say that the rims and door trim made the car look longer and lower and less short, tall and boxy like it did previously.
I think i am gonna copy your tissue box idea. My tissue is all over on the floor and it gets crushed occasionally.

Been loosing track of what servicing has been done at which mileage. So going to just post all the servicing done here as a log.
14000km changed tires
32000km: 2 new belts Changed water pump (4pk) Radiator flush and new coolant Brakes cleaning Transmission oil change Engine oil change
Engine is so much quieter now after the noisy water pump was changed. Very happy with the results!
I just changed belts around 10000-15000 km ago and its already worn out. One belt was cracking up and the other one has one tooth completely worn out. Just a suggestion to check your belts regularly especially before a long trip!
