Have you adjusted the lights up yet? The stock setting from the factory is kind of low.

I agree that my headlights seem fine. Several people have mentioned re-aiming the headlights but I've not seen any expert opinion or instruction oh how high to aim.
I'm expecting a lot of poorly aimed Fits from this
Thank kps for providing a nice reference to aiming headlights in another thread:
Finally I got mine installed...it's a High/Low beam combined bulb...both beams are preserved but I lost the Daytime Running Light...do you have this problem too?
I see, just because I have a H4 controller waiting for the full signal (which comes from low beam only)...so when the DRL light want to start it the controller immediately subpress it (and end up light a immediate flash). To avoid from burning off the bulb I take off the fuse from the box underneath the steering wheel...works great but I don't have DRL any more.
there are a few kind of H4 hids with Hi\Low, if you want daytime then u will need to get the one with the 194 peanut bulb as high beam then u can use that as daytime, otherwise you will lose daytime but who cares about the daytime
Actually, its not a 194 peanut bulb. The its some kinda halogen bulb and its kinda bright! Well.. its a useless highbeam... but at least it gave me normal DRL and highbeam (i should say.. different set of lights when i flick the switch.. if ever)
One thing i know is that HID's on the Fit is a nono! It "looks" nice.. but theres SOOOOOOO much glare its not even funny. It feels like the housing are for RHD cars.. the light pattern actually shoots towards the oncoming traffic instead of to the sidewalk!
i thought they are 194 but anyways they are there so you can switch between HID and regular bulb
I guess you can't expect too much when putting in aftermarket HID kit, just can't compare to HID comming out from the factory, but I do like them not only for the looks but it does give you more light on the road
Aiming headlights requires some knowledge
