Head and tail lights standard

Hello everyone who has Fit. Need help. What's the standard on the head and tail lights of Fit? I'm wondering it's E(13) or something like that. Post the picture of it. Many thanks.

Thinking about 1.5 FIT to get it to lithuania (it's cheaper and better to get 1.5 in states than buy 1.4 in Lithuania). Need to know if i woud have any problem with registration. So help me with the lights standart, please. For example I did the same with my Suzuki GSX-R600, it was much cheaper. Lights were with E(13) E(4) standarts, had no probs with registration at my country.
Thanks

I assume you are trying to find out if Honda Fit/Jazz headlights and taillights meet e13 or e4 standards so that you can import and register the car in your country?

You drive on the right hand side of the road like we do in the United States. The main importance is that the light pattern be for people who drive on the right hand side as well.

You could get the vehicle from Germany, Italy, Sweden, France, ect... because they all drive on the same side as you.

A car from the UK, where they drive on the left hand side, would not work for your country.

I think they also have rules about having at least one fog light. well if you get a Sport Honda Fit/Jazz, they come with fog lights on both sides so that would work for you.

I would check with a Honda dealership in one of the countries I mentioned about and ask them if a vehicle you bought from them would be ok for registration in Lithuania.

Europian version is only with 1.2l and 1.4l weaker engines. And the price in Europe is bigger than in states. I'm going to buy it in copart auctions for example with all intact airbags and back damage like rear bumper, hatch. The parts in my country is not a problem, but those engines.. I want 1.5 109HP version with better interior ant audio system. I wonder if the lights is with E(13) E(4) marks (it's some standart marks like you have in states DOT) because as I told the GSX-R were with europian marks. But it's also not so huge problem to swap those american lights with europian. Just interested to find out

P.s. the price in my country for 2nd hand JAZZ (base) 1.4l is ~35k LT (15.9k $) and in my opinion I can get american FIT (sport) 1.5l ~25k LT (11.4k $)

would be great if somebody take a macro picture af tha marks on the lights

Sorry for my english

Thanks

And about the lights

If you live i Europe, Germany, France, Italy, Lithuania ... light beam looks like:

|----/ Europian right side drive
\----| British left side drive
\----/ American right side drive

Thats how it looks like and thats the biggest diference. As you can see the europian requirements is that when you drive at the dark the roadside, shoulder must be lighten more, not like the other side because of the cars coming against, not to blind them. And when you get the cars from states additional expertise is necessary.
