How do they operate, do they come on simultaneously, and do you still have low beams?
Forgive me if you've answered this question already. This jump'd out and caught my eyes, so I did not read back before asking this question..

The outer pair are in projectors and they act as low beam (they have a cutoff).

The inner pair are in plain reflectors and act as high beam.

Sadly, no, they don't come on at the same time. If you imagine the two filaments of the stock H4... and just separate them.

In order to have a simultaneous setup, I'd have to either wire up the low to stay on even with high beam (most likely need relays) or swap one/both pairs with a bixenon set (H1 morimotos come to mind).

I spent the evening washing my Fit after it weathered the Phoenix dust storm in an off-site airport parking lot yesterday and ended up with bug bites all over my legs. +sigh+

Before:


I'll take an After picture in the morning. Hopefully, it doesn't rain while I'm sleeping...

What did I do to the Fit? tacked on about 60+ miles on my odo for absolutely nothing... mostly.

I drove out to a window tinting place in Schaumburg... about 50+ min drive... only to be told, they're booked up until the 21st for weekdays, even longer for weekends.

GAH!

I suppose, ultimately, it's my fault for not calling ahead. But he made no mention in the email that he was even busy.

NA sucks so much. Got my ass whooped by an f150 on July 4th and today I only beat a ZX2 5speed by 1 car length.

I suppose that's actually not too bad since the zx2 weighs the same, comes rated at 130 hp stock, and didn't suffer from a slushbox.

Maybe turbo goes on after I finish painting the house. Start at a modest 8 psi.

Perhaps the F150 was an Ecoboost V6, oh and I'm sure around the corners, you'd leave it behind.

Could be, but he wouldn't need one to beat me. Without the turbo, 0-60 is only coming in 9.5 seconds, which is still very good for an AT (projected injectors, afr tuning, diy intake, and straight pipe axle back, still have benefits) which stock go 0-60 in 11 flat.

I took off the Fit emblem, flipped my front license plate holder up side down and I plan on installing some mesh on my lower grille when I get off of work

I checked up on my fit at the bodyshop. Another few more days and hopefully she'll be good as new! AND today, my new AXIS JDM LED tails showed up!

Today.... I finally pumped gas. Couldn't take it anymore... I was experimenting with this tank of gas... trying to see how high I could get the MPG.

My personal best tank...

Gas pumped:9.395 gallons
Mileage driven: 351.2
Displayed MPG: 38.5
Calculated MPG: 37.38

And this includes about half of the miles for doing deliveries!

Now... back to my regularly psycho driving style.
