#19 of 58 lights by rsharp Aug 09, 2006 (6:33 pm)
I finally drove my week old Fit at night on a dark two lane road...YIKES! I thought maybe people were over-reacting to the headlight settings. But after a few miles I switched to the brights because I couldn't see a darn thing. Not only is this annoying but I feel it is downright dangerous. It was amazing how bad the visibility was. I called the dealer immediately and I am making them adjust the lights. Beware all Fit buyers, have the body shop adjust your lights before you ever leave the lot.   Other than that issue the Fit has been everything I expected it to be.

Replying to: rsharp (Aug 09, 2006 6:33 pm) Please report this on your owner's survey. This is a safety issue. I almost hit a bicyclist after taking it back to the dealer and being told the headlights were adjusted properly. They did not even make signs or any reflectors reflect. After that scare, I took matters into my own hands and raised them myself. All is well.
#21 of 58 More headlight questions and issues.. by dgfit Aug 12, 2006 (4:54 pm)
I was able to raise the headlight levels easily and quickly thanks to some of the photos and advice on the fit forums.....but another question....when you see the headlights 'on' a considerable amount if the focused central beam seems to be shining not out directly in front of the car but is aimed at the outer edge of the forward reflector light [yellow]! In fact, you can see some of the light being reflected back...which means this is wasted in addition to being responsible, possibly, for some inadvertant windshield glare. I could find no adjustment whel or gear as is clearly evident for the up/down adjustments. Any advice, besides 'take it to the dealer' which will probably be answered by 'that is the way it is supposed to be'? Is this a problem? I think it is but looking for other answers......BTW, 40 mpg plus in numerous hiway trips even from the 1st and w/o 'idle learn' which I did anyays after 9 K miles or so....usual advice...tires 35-36 psi [max COLD limit is 51 psi in the 15" tires] 65-70 mph [even better 2500 rpm or just a notch below that in ANY conditions to cruise at], limit AC, etc. Thanks in advance!

#22 of 58 Getting time for an oil change by mtngal Jun 02, 2006 (10:27 am)
The car is saying the oil is down to 30% so I'm starting to think about going to the dealership. Other than adjusting the low beam headlights, I can't think of anything else to bring to their attention. Replies to this message: carfanatic007 (Jun 02, 2006 10:33 am)

#26 of 58 PIAA H4 Replacement Bulbs for Headlights by els2023 Jun 08, 2006 (6:26 pm)
Dear My Fit Family,    Is anyone else getting fed up with American Honda not doing anything to fix the low-beam headlight issue which is a real safety issue?    I am putting in PIAA H4 bulbs to replace the standard bulbs. Has anyone else done this? Does anyone have experience with PIAA H4 bulbs to replace the factory bulbs? Will this help?

Replying to: els2023 (Jun 08, 2006 6:26 pm) I had a set of PIAA's in a CRV and they didn't last. (though they sure helped over the stock bulbs in low beam) Found the Phillips Silverstars worked as good, cost less and lasted MUCH longer...
