Finished wiring up my led pillar lights. Also converted the turn signal area into brake lights and the reverse area into turn/reverse switchback bulbs. I used a sylvana brake light and reused another old set of v3 amber/6kwhite switchbacks for the turn/reverse. Pictures later when it gets darker.

Managed to blow a fuse while making a custom wire harness for the brakes and turn/reverse signals. Dash wouldn't light up. Car would turn over but not start. Checked the main fuses at the battery but they were good. Ran thru all fuses in the engine bay and all was good. Turned out the meter fuse blew. Changed that with the drl fuse i pulled out awhile ago. They were both 7.5 amps. Car started like new again.

Thought it would be an expensive trip to the dealer. I feared i blew the ecu or something as bad.

 

After buying my 2018 Fit LX , by reflex I double clicked the lock button on the key fob like I do in my girlfriends car to make sure it's locked . There I heard the first meep*, then I got in the car and heard it again. I found it hilarious and knew I was going to change the horn . Bought a horn from College Hills Honda which I discovered here on the forums and my car no longer goes meep meep.

Two things that were an issue. Couldn't find a good front jack point when I was installing it so I thought screw it and just when on without. Second, wasn't sure how to direct the horns and where to put which so I thought screw and trusted my gut. So the high horn is sitting closer to the middle front and point upward, and the low horn is sitting by the passenger wheel at an upward angle. I reused the factory mounting bracket.

Sounds excessively loud for the car, but at least it no longer goes meep meep .

I don't know why car makers have always put "little" horns on little cars. I've always installed a pair of loud horns.

 

Washed the car. Discovered i am all out of wax. Will need to do a full detail one day. Lots of orange peel.

 

Get some clay. It does a great job.

 

Did the transmission fluid drain and fill Saturday. The old was nay on black! Night and day difference in feel.

 

CVT or manual?

 

Manual...see my build...

 

If CVT fluid was black, he would have major problems. Even manual oil should be pretty clean, though.

 

No problems thus far! Still drives fantastic.

Hey, can you send me a link to these? Questions

1. Is there a heatsink or fan?

2. Is the cooling mechanism removable so that you can install the rubber weather boot properly?

the light pattern looks much more acceptable than most kits. Aside from actually putting in a proper projector lens in this looks way easier and affordable then baking the headlight housing in your oven to open it up.

 

In thread please

 

there are plenty out there.... I was lazy and chose 1 randomly from amazon



there is a heat sink, no fan
the heat sink is indeed, removable
the kit does provide its own weather boot thingee

 

So that's essentially a bulb replacement? Did you have to re-aim after install? Any modification to the housing for that to fit? I'd be interested to see how long it lasts for you.

 

It looks a lot simpler than the HID headlights I put into a couple of cars.

 

Meh, for the price I'll try it.

Bam, ordered.

They'll arrive Sunday. I'll post some pics and review once they're in.

 

Thanks! I look forward to your report. Since it's just a bulb swap, if one burns out, it's no big deal. With the HIDs, putting a regular bulb back in involved a lot of work with the wiring.
