    Not so sure about the front shocks. For the headlight, just pop the hood and use a socket wrench to remove the 2 bolts to pull the front lamp unit upwards.

    H7 - low beam
    H1 - high beam

    stocks bulbs are rated at 55W.

    you will need to un-install your headlight first in order for you to access
    your foglamps or, if you can mount your car in hydraulic, access it from bottom.

    madali lang yan alisin. you just need a close-range ratchet tool with small extension. if the knot is not too tight an open-range is enough for use

    you dont need to buy new rims/magwheels for your optra. the 15" stock is fine (not unless you really need to be different). if your rims has full of scratches or stains, it can be clean or refurbish to look as bnew.

    check sulit.com, dami naka-post na rims/mags. used, refurbish, etc. goodluck

    me kabeg? pa-wheel check mo, wheel-alignment mo, camber.
    servitek will do. but be ready, there might be some part subject for replacement like the bolt-joint, rack-end... stabilizer... etc.

    in case me papalitan, take the stock-part and check any auto-car-part shops for any good quality brand counterfit, basta kasukat and that will be just be fine, naka-mura ka pa. and buy in pair, palitan mo sabay ang left at right what ever the part that needs to be replaced. goodluck !

    if the camber result of your wheel alignment is fine and within the optra's manual camber reasult but your stering wheel is still off-center, me problema pa yan pero very minimal lang. madami babaklasin sa manibela just to align but in my opinion doing so is not good kase ina-alter mo yung possible problem sa front wheel system.
    Pag walang problema ang mga parts ng front wheels system, naka on-center dapat ang manibela after alignment maski di mo pa-adjust yung manibela. (once pina-ayos mo yung manibela to center it and soon me pinalitan ka na parts ng front wheel mag-o-off center ulit yung manibela mo). goodluck!
