Hey guys,

I have horrible vision at night. I wear prescription glass and it helps but it feels like I can't see. (glare and astigmatism) I want to change out my headlights and taillights soon. So what would be the best kind of lighting to switch too? I thought about halo angel eyes or hid lights. I don't care too much about which brand or type...just need to see better.

I try not to drive at night but sometimes I have too. I usually have my high beams on when no one else is around to be blinded. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

Although these bulbs push the limit of legality they would definitely give you more light from the stock headlights. i also have astigmatism but get by fine at night.

the 65/70 watt bulbs are the best for stock wiring.

First step is to properly aim the headlights. The factory aiming point is far too low. There's 1 adjuster on the Fit's headlights that adjusts them up/down. They need to be aimed up 2 complete turns, IIRC.

Next would be getting some better bulbs, such as the Philips Xtreme Power.

Lastly, turn OFF the foglights until it's foggy out. The fogs do a good job of putting light right in front of the car, where it's needed when it's foggy. In normal conditions, you want to be looking as far out as the lights can throw light. Having lots of light immediately in front of the car decreases how far you can see since your eyes are overwhelmed by the intense brightness immediately in front, and miss the deer's eyeball reflecting 4 seconds down the road. Your eyes would have a much better chance of picking up that reflection without all that extra light reflecting off the road right in front of the car.

The Fit actually has pretty good OEM headlights once they're properly aimed and with good bulbs.

and adjustment!

 

or go HID

 

I also have poor night vision (astigmatism). I recently got new eyeglasses and decided to try anti-glare lenses--they really make a huge difference.

If you have the Fit sport-ride with your low beams & Fog lights on - it widens your peripheral view. I also turn on the high beams if there are no other cars near by.

 

I have always had problems driving at night because of astigmatism.. Out of the blue for no reason my vision changed and I only need glasses to read...

 

+1 on properly re-aiming the lights and this... https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...k-warning.html

 

yeah fogs really help with lighting up the sides of the road, I don't use it for more output up close. Definitely upgrading to better bulbs and re-aiming the headlights with help instantly
