Headlight bulbs, Changing them and other questions
Im not sure if any of you have taken a close look at changing the bulbs in the headlight housing but there is very limited space behind the headlights to change out any of the bulbs whether its the lowbeam/highbeam bulb, blinker or parking light. It almost seems as if you have to pull out the whole housing assembly to get access behind it and even that isnt too easy. I tried finding different ways of getting my hand behind the bulbs but its near impossible to squeeze a hand in that small space and this is coming from a guy who has small hands.
If anyone has looked into this and has found a better way of achieving this I would like to know, thanks. |
Do Fits in the states not come with manuals as a large numbers of answers are contained in the manual? You get to the parker and headlights from under the front guards not the engine bay. The manual has step by step instructions and pictures comprehensively detailing the process.

The process for us is to put the front wheels at full lock in one direction to get better access to the wheel arch. Undo 2 plastic clips then you can get your hand in behind the lights. I'm 6' 3"s so don't exactly have small hands. Its certainly not comfy in there but quite adequate. Parkers twist out and headlights unclip and have a seal that comes off.
Price paid for a small engine bay. |
the manual says to take out only the one round fender clip
but if you take out the square one (with the phillips screw) and pull the fender further back, it's easier I also find taking the whole wheel off (or use a hoist) makes more clearance -joe |
So do we have any DIY for the headlight bulbs and fog light bulbs yet? (hopefully with pictures)

Headlight sizes?
I dont have my car (someone hit me in a parking lot and left; Its getting fixed) so I dont have the manual. What size are the high/low beams?
|
I think they are H4 (HB2)?
MotorDad in Milwaukee |
both highs and lows are h4s then?
|
The H4 bulb is a combo bulb, so it has a filament for the high beam and low beam in the same capsule.

What Is The Best Replacement Headlight Bulb For The Fit?
Is It Piaa, Sylvania Etc... |
i had the silver stars in mine before i put my HID's in, and they were alot better then stock, i never got a chance to try the PIAA new extreme white though.
|
Piaa Xtreme force H4 & H11 (4700k) output closed to HID system. Install H7 in my CBR600RR nice & bright white. I'm getting piaa for my Fit. will post photo soon.
|
I have the Polarg bulbs, and honestly, it doesnt look that different from HIDs.
|
trust me, once you get or see HID's on a FIt, you'll see a big ass difference them and standard bulbs, that claim to be close to HID.
