HID's on a Fit
I'm thinking about the same thing too, Fit is too great not to have HIDs...but a kit will probably not work since the housing is a reflector, we need to retro fit HID projectors inside the housing in order to give that clear cutoff...but the car is too new for me to try anything, I'm still learning the car a bit, anyone else had better experience??
I just installed the KAS HID 6000k HIDs on one of the member's car and they work pretty good and colour is decent. It doesn't have that very bluish colour which it looks generic. I will try to get some pics and post it later.

I just put my 9006 HID kit into my fit, i had to make a adpater ring which took about 10 minutes, the kit i have is a 6000k kit, and it's extremely bright, just a hint of blue in it, which won't matter much since the headlight housing is blue and the stock bulbs reflecting off of that make teh color of the headlights lokk blue from factory, lol, but it work out nicely, however it would be much better with a retro-fit projector done to it, or getting the real adapter plate that is made for this purpose to get a HID bulb to fit inside of the H4 housing, which is also made to help get a clean cut-off, so i'm going to be working on getting the correct stuff as soon as possible.

This is where to go to get a great HID conversion... Look great on many cars we have done...

the picture shows a lot of glare, as you can see how bright the whole back trunk of the car in front of it....i don't think a kit will work out good at all, too much glare....anyone done a retro fit to the fit/jazz??
there is one way without having to get t retro-Fit kit, which involves getting a adapter ring and a real HID bulb, the way the adapter ring is made makes teh HID kit have a true cut-off line like it should.
such as this one on ebay.

Well thats just a casper shield...
While it prevents glare, the beam pattern will not be evenly dispered. The cutoff most likely isnt razor sharp either. Notice how that page doesnt show any wall cutoffs. If you want the true HID experience, then you have to bite the bullet and install HID projectors.

I agree on it not showing a true cut-off, which i'd like to see aswell, but keep in mind not all cars with HID have projectors, which i'd also like to see how they look up close with either causing scatter and UFO's or not.
