Does your passenger side (LH) have provision for a fog light whereas the driver's side (RH) has nothing?

Is it a missing a socket or bulb? And where is it, the clear area? Could be a reverse light bulb..

@ BB, the other socket is for rear foglight (mandatory in some countries) RHD tails have it on the right, and LHD tails on the left (only drivers side fog required).

You could import the new LED tail (Left side) from Europe & you will have both sides with the fog option (or just drill the other side and install new connector).

LeAJazz, are rear foglights not required in Australia?

What did I do to the Fit today?

I put some gas in... like I do every few days.

The best part? I got an average of just over 35.5 MPG (calculated, displayed was 35.7)... while doing deliveries!!!

Woot WOOT!!!

(edit: this may never happen again though... keeping myself in check was painful!!!)

I debadged the Fit emblem and removed all my stickers from the back glass. Going for a cleaner look. Might do a wiper delete.

Do it the right way. Shave it and paint the trim black again. Mine will be finished this weekend.

can't wait to see how the fit looks when I drop it 4" lower but that's after waiting 6-8 weeks as the "suspensions" are in a slow boat from Japan... I'm pretty used to waiting tho

Child's play!

How many miles were on the Trip meter when you took the photo?

At my previous job, I averaged about 38-42mpg during the commute. Now i'm closer to 33mpg but my commute went from 26 miles to about 8 so my lifetime average is still over 37pg which I am very Happy with. The Fit is a great little car.

Congrats on the economy.
