Here's a picture of the headlight adjuster that is the blank next to the mirror adjuster in other (UK) markets!   http://www.fitfreak.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4852&highlight=headlight   "> Replies to this message: johnnyvj (May 11, 2006 9:15 am)

#11 of 58 Headlight beam problem solved by hondaman25 May 11, 2006 (9:55 am)
Just left my local Honda Dealer and the headlight problem was the aiming of the headlight....about 4 inches too low according to spec. The headlight lense has a little dot embedded in it and the beam is supposed to align to that dot. Mine didn't even come close to the mark so I was told. Well next time I drive a lonely dark interstate I'll see if this worked......so for now The Fit is GO! Replies to this message: fit_ness (May 13, 2006 9:23 am)

Replying to: hondaman25 (May 11, 2006 9:55 am) I took my Fit in to the dealer yesterday and they "checked it on their headlight alignment tester" and there was "NPF" - No Problem Found.   I drove it last night on what was to be about 100 mile rural round trip. These things don't even illuminate the reflectorized signs along the road! I was home in 15 miles. I have to take a long night trip next week and it will be in my other car.   So, for me, the Fit is NO GO at night (except in a bright city environment). But, I sure love to drive this car in the day around town! Talk about a zippy, frugal little timesaver! It hauls alls.
#13 of 58 How to Raise Passenger-Side Low Beam? by shneor May 14, 2006 (3:21 pm)
I've had problems on dark roads reading road signs, and I'd like to raise just the passenger-side low beam a bit. Does anyone know how to do this? There's a bolt that holds a metal notched ring at the end of the front light casing - might this have anything to do with that?   TIA.

Replying to: shneor (May 14, 2006 3:21 pm) The dealer told me to call American Honda about the low beams..... Raising one is probably not going to help a lot.

Replying to: shneor (May 14, 2006 3:21 pm) >Does anyone know how to do this?   You adjust the lights from the back, you have to go through the wheel well under the covering.   The service guys will do it for free, just tell them. Have it done at your first oil change if you can wait, give them a heads up when you make your appointment. I need to do the same thing. GL
#16 of 58 PIAA Bulbs for Headlights by els2023 Jun 08, 2006 (3:44 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? Replies to this message: crimsona (Jun 08, 2006 5:57 pm) els2023 (Jun 08, 2006 6:22 pm) dickturner (Jan 08, 2007 5:58 am)

Replying to: els2023 (Jun 08, 2006 3:44 pm) Or just do it yourself. It takes like 15 minutes. Why bother waiting? Replies to this message: els2023 (Jun 08, 2006 6:22 pm) dickturner (Jan 08, 2007 5:58 am)

Replying to: crimsona (Jun 08, 2006 5:57 pm) My original message was asking if anyone else has experience with aftermarket PIAA H4 bulbs to replace the factory headlight bulbs in the Fit? Does anyone think this is a good or bad idea. I am not having good luck with the illumination of the low beams and they are supposedly aimed correctly. This is a real safety issue.   Also, If anyone can point me to a place that tells me how to change the bulb that would be great.   Many many thanks.
