Yeah, I have black headlights on my SSM Fit. I like it, subtle, but still makes the car stand out from other Fits.

Tanks for the input where can I find them. Do I just go to the dealership and ask for a pair or can I find them in the marketplace on the fourm?

On the black headlamps you can always just buy them at the dealership, or you could open yours up and do them yourself. As on the foglight covers I have mine painted black would you be intrested in trading?? heres a pic of how they look lmk...

yes you do have to take off the front bumper to take off the head light.

the bolt is behind the front bumper you could try doing it without taking the front bumper off but it will be a pain in the ass so take off the bumper and save yourself time. the bumper comes off in like less then 5 min. so easy just dont loose your clips.
