Can't make a recommendation, as our Fit's headlights are still stock. (Besides, the reflectors might be different in North America markets.)

BUT there are many dissatisfied LED headlamp buyers on various Forums who have found that the light patterns are terrible and illumination distance isn't increased...

I suggest investigating elsewhere (if no one replies). And make sure that anyone you buy from has good customer service!

I went with MostPlus Turbo LED. You will lose DRL's, but if that isnt a problem they're great. Comes out as 8-10k lumens, 80W between both bulbs, 7k RPM fans on each, and a 3 year warranty. They ran about $60 and took 5 minutes to fully install. My only complaint is that they could have had somewhat longer harness wires so that I could mount the controller better, but that's it.

LED's

I replaced my fog lights with 15W LED's from iJDMToy, very satisfied so thought I would try their on-sale Phillips Luxeon headlight kit. The improvement is dramatic, at both low and high beam settings. However, they confused my computer which switched on my fog lights when I turned on the HID driving lights I also have installed, and I got a trouble light on the dash. I installed resistors on the headlights which eliminated the trouble light, but the HID's still won't come on. I decided I need to put resistors on the fog lights also but haven's done so yet. Google "CAN bus errors." The LED's draw so much less power the computer thinks lights are out.

Do all LED kits have a ballast/controller like HID's?
