I see... guess it's not much different from the issues I had with mine.
Too bad they don't have matte grey/silver versions, otherwise, I'd give it another go, fitment issues and all. my chrome headlights are bouncing bits everywhere and the black contrasts too much for my tastes (I'd do the black if I had a black or even PMM Fit).

the difference is that USDM GE top two mounting points are different from the rest of the GEs, the EUDM and JDM based Fit/Jazz, because of their shorter nose.
you can deal with the top most mount by adding an extension bracket between the headlight and the car's mount point. I used a solid core wire to "tie" them together... what can I say, I was lazy.
but the one in front, where the grille is, won't line up and will require trimming just to get the headlight to fit and line up with the body (and allow the lower mounts to attach). If you don't trim it, it jams up against the radiator support bracket. The additional problem with this mount point is that, the bumper and grille cover actually rely on it. And because I didn't fixate those two to the headlight, my bumper droops a little in front. edit: I suppose for 2012 and up, you don't have to worry about attaching the bumper for the Sport, since it's laid out differently, but there's a good chance mounts still won't fit.

Well first of all you have to do a retrofit on your headlights, meaning replacing the reflector housings with projectors. This is expensive. Ok, you don't HAVE TO, but it's the proper way to run HIDs so you actually get the illumination you need and so you're not blinding other drivers on the road with the scattered light. Remember HID stands for High Intensity Discharge, so just putting them in reflector housings is irresponsible because it shoots that HIGH INTENSITY light out every which way from your headlights and is like having your high beams on (or even worse) for oncoming traffic. You can google more in depth info if you like.
