I guess that depends on if you are talking about adding fog light housings or just replacing bulbs?

Does this Fit have Factory Fog lights?

I have had a few different brands of auxiliary lights over the years.

I was a big fan of IPF but they were more "off-road style" on my Tundra.
I also put a pair of PIAA driving lights(spot style over fog) in to supplement my high beams out in the country.

Really there isn't a "best" anything without knowing what you are going to be doing with them. (or what laws govern what you can and can't do)

Typically turbocharged Fits don't have fog lights due to front mount intercooler's piping running right behind the light's covers, blocking them from being able to be mounted. So, unless you've had the piping rerouted to allow the lights room or you are have a top mount intercooler you wouldn't be able to have fog lights.

As for what is best, I personally don't have a clue and your question seems a bit vague. Are you looking for the best light output, looking, etc?

Whatever the case may be, several members here have either kept the stock fog light bulbs and put yellow Lamin-x film or painted them yellow, some have swapped the bulbs for yellow ones like Nokya's, and others have gotten swapped the Fit's fog light housing for Ion's that were designed the DC5 (Acura RSX).

Try bumping this thread up in about 10 hours and you should get more helpful and descriptive replies.

Talking

Well, These would stay clear of your intercooler piping.







Not much to look at but if you want function, this would be the way to go!

No prob, there is also another member here who has smaller driving lights in their lower grill. I can't think of their screen name, but they have a silver GD Sport and a silver Impreza in their sig.
