Hey Brian. I'm taking it that you want to do a DIY on your headlights and paint them black.
I did not do a DIY on my car. I went ahead a bought 2 OEM NHBP headlights from Bernardi and had them in storage for a while until I bought my car and then waited a bit longer before I even swapped them out.
Now again if you want to paint the headlights yourself it's a matter of taking your headlights off then putting them in the microwave so that you can take them apart (at least that's how it was done with the 98 accord lights when I was on a board for my 6th gen accord).
As far as paint it seems like flat black is the way to go or at least a high temp flat black.
I'm sure others can tell you more about the process since I never actually did the DIY on it.
Hope this gives you some direction.
Also check out some of the other threads on the board talking about painting the headlight housing: use the search button and type what you're looking for. You might have to read a lot of threads before you get the answers you're looking for but at least you're gaining more knowledge from those that have done what you're trying to accomplish.
Finally posting my pix. I purchased my Fit in June '08. Unlike most of you, I've not done very many mods really, but I hope to get my new wheels soon, along with some tint. Tint is going to be an absolute must. I do have black leather int. that I had installed at time of purchase, and custom floor mats. I'll try and get some better pics once I do more mods.
to tell everyone the truth i wanted to get either the black or the silver but all they had was the bom. after i bought it i fell in love with the color i have a GD3 fs at and love the will post picas after i get them uploaded if ya'll want but i mean if you have seen one bom fs you've seen them all.
thanks! i think they would have been a little less blurry if the truck my friend was on the back of wasn't dropped cause every little bump made the rolling shot blurry
I went ahead and changed out my headlights from BOM OEM headlights to NHBP OEM headlights!!
I've changed headlights before on my 98 Accord but never on the FIT. Just got the bumper off, which was very easy to do after checking out what clips and bolts (screws) to take off.
Had these lights in the shed for a while. Decided it was the perfect day to change out the lights today!
Still need to adjust the lights but I will do that later.
peace,
im curious.... since all the fits headlights have the inside to be the color of the car.. did u get them off a black fit or you bought actual Black housings.? PM me im also interested in getting black housing/black fit headlights

Well he said he bought OEM NHBP lights so he just went out and purchased another set. You can just bake it and paint it but buying is always easier LOL
