retrofit idea
i'm thinkin about modding my headlights finally. i've been waiting so that i can do the entire project at once, but all of the sudden last night i had this idea. can anyone tell me if i'm stupid crazy or if it actually might work?

the idea is to move the blinker up to the bulge running light spot (i will have the wink lights on my mirrors as well, so i'm not worried about people seeing my blinkers) by adapting some of the wiring, then replacing that position with a high-beam only projector. then i'll put a low-beam only projector into the stock lo/hi spot. here's a pic labeled...

stock


modded


so, am i crazy? or could this work?

it could work, but if you're planning on running HIDs you prolly wont be able to run HID high beams, unless you dont plan on flashing people. Be the first to do it

i'd probably stick with halogen high-beams. but i don't flash people anyhow, except when they flash me right now cause i have a crappy pnp hid kit.

I have HID on mine. It maintaines both Hi/Lo and DRL. it is PnP kit.



There is an after market for 2009-10 Honda Fit headlights. It separate headlight into 2 beams, Hi/9005 and Lo/9006. Low beam is a projector. So what you have to do is to swap the blinkers with parking light. Use LED as High beam.

My pnp maintains hi and lo, that's not the problem. I was just thinkin it might look cool with a double projector set-up, but I found a good deal on bi-xenon so I migt just go that way and leave the blinker alone. Switch out the bulb with a silverstar though to get rid f the yellow colored bulb.
