#39 of 58 Re: Weak reception [dewaltdakota] by mtngal Jan 09, 2007 (12:14 pm)
Replying to: dewaltdakota (Aug 02, 2006 2:50 pm) I kept putting off doing something about my headlights (not much of a do-it-yourself person, and don't have a wall handy to judge height), and now I'm REALLY regretting it. In early December my hubby hit a coyote that was running in the middle of a rural road (55 mph, 2 lanes, no time to brake) - no problem, no damage. Right before Christmas, in the rainy dark, he hit a bicycle that was in the middle of a freeway lane. He didn't see it in time to avoid it (traveling at 65 mph, not speeding) and couldn't move over due to traffic. We don't have the car back yet, but the estimate was over $3000 - there's a hole in the oil pan, the radiator and housing needed to be replaced, plus the body damage (bumper, spoiler, some other black metal part, hood buckled). My advice is to get this taken care of sooner, rather than later!

Replying to: nascartrash (Jan 28, 2007 2:15 pm) I had mine adjusted by the dealer before I took delivery. No problems at all. Replies to this message: pdjacob (Feb 07, 2007 12:51 pm) ifit (Sep 11, 2007 7:11 pm)

Replying to: rsm333 (Jan 28, 2007 3:03 pm) Yes, having the dealer do it is smart. Most will do it free, assuming you bought the car there. I didn't know about the headlamp issue until after I purchased the vehicle, so I had it adjusted at my 5,000 mile service visit. It's much better, but I think I will have the beams bumped up just a bit more the next time my vehicle is in for service. And yes, I agree the low-beam situation can be very dangerous, and I hope Honda monitors this site and plans to correct the situation.
#43 of 58 Daylight Running Lights by bprenderson Sep 11, 2007 (9:53 am)
Has anyone installed Daylight Running Lights (DRL)using the Fog Lights on their Fit? I believe that they are standard issue in CA. Thanks.......

Replying to: rsm333 (Jan 28, 2007 3:03 pm) I had mine adjusted at the dealership and it's fine now. I'm very happy with my Fit overall.   My Fit was not safe to drive at night until the low beams were adjusted.   It seems like this is a common problem.
#45 of 58 tailgate light by fitman548 Oct 02, 2007 (12:45 pm)
I promise, one of these days, I'm installing a kill switch for the tailgate light, so you can leave the back open without the light running continuously. This probably involves taking off a panel.   I was looking for the switch in the jamb that depresses when you close the hatch..couldn't find it! I know where the one are for the 4 doors, but the hatch seems to sense the actual latch somehow.

Replying to: dewaltdakota (Aug 02, 2006 2:50 pm) Many thanks for posting this! By how many turns of the gear did you raise the headlights?
#47 of 58 2008 Honda Fit Battery by brucemay Feb 15, 2009 (6:10 pm)
Please refer to: http://www.fitfreak.net/forums/1st-generation-gd-01-08/37770-2007-honda-fit-orig- inal-battery-dead-two-years.html#post559909   I bought my 2008 Honda Fit Sport on 4/1/2008 and at 5,000 miles my battery went kaput. Others have had this problem with the battery as indicated in the above forum. The dealer did not have a replacement battery nor did auto parts stores. The battery was ordered by the dealership and they had to pay for a rental car until the replacement battery unit arrived. One Honda Dealership in San Antonio, Texas had 26 Honda Fits with bad batteries and had to wait on receiving them. Not enough batteries were manufactured and a new supply needed to be supplied.   Has anyone on this forum had the same problem and can answer the following questions:   1. Why is the battery different from regular batteries? 2. What is a suitable replacement for the battery? 3. Does the Honda Fit have a special alternator? 4. Is there a problem with jump starting the battery? 5. Can the battery be recharged using a normal battery charger?
#48 of 58 Honda Fit 2009 Air Conditioning System by susanvda Feb 16, 2009 (10:15 am)
Does anyone know if Honda put a different air conditioning system in the 2009? I was reading that the 2008's was blowing out like my CRV's did, and wasn't going to invest in something I knew was broken. Thanks.
