Cool. Good to know.
I wrote to the retailer as to why I had to pull the fuse for the DRL's. Waiting for his reply. Might be due to the Flicker issue you mentioned?
I have a LX model and recently added fog lights. There was some mention of flicking with fog lights with LED's. Issue's was due to poor components used from China. Lucky I have not had any problems as of yet.

I found these but don't know how they work?

Keep us updated on what the retailer says. Thank you

 

Today I used some of the Rustoleum lens tint for a tint job.
I'm not wild about the way it looks just yet. It's not as dark as I'd like it to be, and it's got a matte surface. Best thing is that if I really don't like it I can just peel it off.

I also pulled my fit and dealer badge off. The fit badge was a royal pain to get off, and I might just dip it black and put it back on after all.




Does anyone have any suggestions to either gloss up the spray tint, or suggestions for a good lens tint film? I'm not sure what I want to do just yet.

 

Busy week. Roof wrap and Hankook tire letters.

 

Hey KByers,
You might want to try this
(VHT SP515 Quick coat clear acrylic)
https://www.amazon.com/VHT-SP515-Quick-Acrylic-Enamel/dp/B000CPCRJK
Is just a clear coat for your lense after you apply your spray tint. Remember that the spray tint goes darker depending how many layers you apply to it. I used the VHT SP999 nite-shade on my ford raptor 3rd brake light and it came out great! By the way love how the aluminum rear trimming came out, did you use the plastic dip on it?

 

Nice I like very much... Did you install the wrap? Or got it installed? Gives it a little more strength since I hear the roof on these cars are very thin and bend very easily.

 

Thanks for the comments. I had it installed. I was going for the jdm rs black top version look. Almost had the mirrors done but I changed my mind.

 

I got a reply from the retailer and he writes that the DRL's run on 6-8 volts and the Stark LED headlights require at least 9 volts for the fan to run at it's best. If not, the Lamps may overheat overtime resulting in a shorter life span.

 

I'll check that out. I might just try a soak coat of the tint spray to see where that leaves me. I want to be able to peel it if I have to.


and yeah. I dipped the chrome trim on the front and the back. I'm glad you like it! It was my first time using any sort of dip. I did the front too:

 

I was just about to reply about the DRL and just turn them off because they are always on. But that fan needs to run. So the fuse will be pulled. Thank you so much for the reply back and getting in contact with the retailer.

Edit:



So I just went outside to pull the DRL and to my surprise it was already pulled



Now can someone explain to me how are my DRL still on when there's no fuse?

 

Just looked at the manual again and saw there's a DRL fuse slot on the interior also. why does it show in both the engine bay and interior is beyond me. smh

 

The reason for the second location of a fuse is due to wiring harnesses being different for different destination countries.

I pulled the fuse for my DRLs from inside the car when I installed and HID light kit. They are 6000 K for pure daylight colour and about 4 times brighter than the factory halogens.

To make up for the loss of the DRLs, I installed a pair of Cob LED strips just below the headlamps.

If you go the HID route, AIM them properly please!

 

I also installed a pair of the Cob LED strips wired into the existing backup lights on my 2015 Fit LX.

Backing up at night with these extra lights is fabulous. Each Cob LED strip is only 6w but easily 2x as bright as the factory 21w bulbs.

 

Thank you for clearing that out. Very nice looking front buddy with them strips and HID's.

 

Parked it after a 4800 mile trip from TN (anyone near Nashville must see the Bellissimma! Exhibit of Italian cars at the Frist), WI, PA, ME, VA, and back home to FL.

If I loved the car before, now I bow down to it. Nothing went wrong, and nothing annoyed. The TPMS went off once; we put air in the offending tire. We carried a vast amount of stuff, and got out of the car completely relaxed each evening.

Unscientifically, we got about 39 mpg. I counted 13 other GK'S I saw on the whole trip. Wouldn't trade this car for anything.

 

New floor mats. Next month is tinting. I posted the floor mats in another thread (3D from Amazon). I'm considering the rear sway bar for November.

 

Today I plasticDip the fit emblem on the rear.





Still debating on the cross crome section. I'll wait for the tints before deciding.

 

Nice. I did the same thing. I'm planning to change all emblems to the Jazz RS ones. You can get a black Jazz emblem with a red J.

 

Curious... Do the Jazz folks go out and get the Fit emblems?

 

Good question. Probably not.
