Look at this unique Honda Fit Review by a news station in Seattle. It takes place in a parking garage. I noticed that the headlights are HID with LED license plate lights. You can see that the lights are not in projectors yet they seem to be properly aimed.

look at 1:20 if you're lazy, but this review is not bland and by Tom Voelk who apparently gets emmys for reviewing cars lol
If you want a cheap HID look get some Noyka arctic white stage 1 bulbs. I have them and they are the closest look to HID's and they are cheap. ~$25. Plus the road lights up alot better than the crappy stock yellowish bulbs.
They go great with my LED Fogs and LED parking lights.

Done: 35% Tint, Lowered (DF210's), Accord horn, LED interior lights, LED Parking lights and Fogs, Lower mesh grille, JDM Taillights, K&N Filter, Nokya Arctic White Headlight bulbs, Blacked out H emblems, Weathertech mats, Shorty antenna, Clear bra, Rear hatch applique, Bike rack hitch.
did u had to change any cables so they don't get burn? or does the factory cables are ok?
The stage 1 pull the same power as the stock bulbs so there is no need to change any cables.
If you buy the stage 2 (which pull more power) then upgrading the cables would be recommended. Risk of melting of the light housing is another risk with the stage 2's. In my opinion just buy the stage 1's they are great and plug and play.

why did you choose to put this bulbs instead of going for the HD? Price?
If you had the money would you have gone with HID?
illegal and don't disperse light correctly...to name a few.
I get blinded weekly by idiots with HID aftermarket kits that don't aim theirs correctly and/or don't have projectors to disperse the light properly.
Now if an aftermarket HID projector kit comes out later...I might jump on that.
I do love HID's. Have them in my tsx and had them in my CL-S. Just a better lighting system imo.
For $25 the Nokya's are a good alternative though.

There are a number of sites and even a forum member or two (or was that at another forum?) that do the retrofits.
It ain't cheap, but until Honda officially makes a HID projector housing for the Fit, there really aren't any other aftermarket alternatives for it. Well, the reason I say it's not cheap is because I think it would be a good idea to buy a pair of OEM headlights to work on, that way, your car isn't out of commission while the headlight is being retrofitted and if you mess up, you still have a pair working in the car.

Yes I was aware of this. He did an excellent retrofit. . I agree with your aftermarket statement...I'm not holding my breathe for aftermarket alternatives. That's why I'm sticking to my cheap Nokya's. I have other things I'd rather spend money on right now.
