Hello all iam an owner of a 2006 toyota vitz i was wondering about a few things if someone could kindly give few suggestions

1.I want to replace the stock instrument cluster panel with a tachometer one, can it be installed, will it effect my vehicle?
2.Can cruise control be installed and where to buy it from.
3.My current wheel setup is 14" i was plannin 2 go for light rims and new setup i.e 175-180/65-70/R15 will it in any way effect
the fuel economy if i get a 15" setup?
4. I have a 1.0 ltr 1KR-FE will OEM Denso SK20HR11 Iridium spark plugs be ok to use?
5. Should i go for osram nightbreakers H4 or Bi xenons

Thanking you all in advance cheers

1. Yes it can. The Canadian instrument panel comes with a tach. Although, I'm not sure if it's a direct plug-and-play thing.
2. Search the forum for cruise control
3. If the new, 15" wheel and tire combo is lighter than your current 14's, then you'll see an increase in fuel economy. If it's slightly heavier, you won't see much of a difference. If it's REALLY heavier, then you'll see a drop in mpg's.
4. Sorry, I have no knowledge about the 1KR.
5. If you are going to spend money on light bulbs, might as well go with HIDs. They'll last longer than any halogen bulbs and are brighter, even Osrams. I suggest 4300k or 5000k color temp.

@Kaotic Lazagna the Canadian version is exactly the one i am looking for but yeah i was concerned about the plug n play and whether it wud work and yes the new setup will probably be light weight white rims and tyres about the lights well i was just concerned about not being a nuisance but lets see.

@Freedan thank you for the links and this is a great forum idk where i was wasting my time before
