#1 - I have had no issue with the Sylvania 9003 lights I put in.

#2 - I use Blue Magic with my cordless drill and a sponge buffing pad. I follow that up with two coats of wax, then I re-apply wax every time I wax the car

#3- You should be able to follow Balto's link above. This worked perfectly for me the first attempt

#4 - Just send Daox a private message if you're interested in a shift knob. He sells a bunch of them now!

#5 - Skip the throttle smoothing circuit, it makes it drive like a metro bus. I gave mine away

For some different mods/tricks/fixes check out the thread for my new Insight Ron Burgundy here:

Also, put your car in the garage and start a fuel log, then join the Gen-1 Insight team!

You get the idea, there are a lot of G1-specific threads here.

Good luck with the car, there are a lot of people here who can walk you through the various mods and fixes on these cars
