Vehicle license 2013 and first annual inspection
This is my first time test ever in Israel with my own car.
I was a bit nervous and asked few friends about process. And it should be very smooth for new cars and cars without problems.
Here is the flow:
1. You get new vehicle license in your post box when time comes.
2. Go and pay for it say at post office.
3. Now you are ready to go for test. Choose where you can do that from friends recommendation or from list at Ministry of Transport.
4. Go there at any time they work. I can't advise when, but probably not at morning.
5. Stop at entrance in line and go to office to pay 96 NIS.
6. Get papers and wait for your turn.
This paper describes all tests, I'm not sure that is for all vehicles.
7. When time come, follow for testers instructions about lights, brakes and so on.
8. When you done, go to office again to get results. Mine was fine ;-)
And finally, you get sticker to put on windshield and signed vehicle licence with all required seals.
That's it. Took roughly 20 minutes.
Was funny when I came to front light check and guy saw it's white color, he asked me to open bonnet to check if there some xenon setup. And he didn't found it... Because of Philips lamps :-)
Also I bit confused with brakes test and pressed pedal not in time always.
Regarding to Elisha place. Everything was smooth, no complains at all. Will see next year again.

Looks fine. Light red color on them cause of fuel mixture - 95 and 98 - that's okay. What is not okay is white rust. This is from my engine wash :-) Next time I will hide it.

And we also changed brake fluid but in Israel style - with help of gravity :-)
Remember to change it every 2 years!
Total work cost about 350 NIS, thanks to Husam again.
Endoscopy video is not ready yet and I don't know if somebody except me needs it, so probably will skip it this time.

Philips DiamondVision
Since I can't get original xenon for Fabia (not exists, as far as I know) but I wanted white light, my findings came to Philips DiamondVision as best for what I need.
I saw lamps on few site and best choice was at PowerBulbs. Delivery took 5 days from UK.
http://www.powerbulbs.com/us/product/diamond-vision-h7-twin-pack
Lamps cost (with free shipping) 194 NIS.
Installation was pretty easy until moment when you need to unplug old bulbs. I took me 5 minutes just for doing this. And another 10 minutes for plugin and turning inside.
And final result was impressive! Totally worth it. (sorry for bad environment setup :-)
