Headlight adjustment on 09 sport
I'm sorry if this thread already exists but I just did this on my Fit just now.
After a pretty long trip down HWY 88 to Visit my daughter at college I
really noticed how low the headlights are adjusted. The lights definatly
needed to be out a little bit farther. I looked around the forum today and found an adjustment thread but i think the 09 are a little easier to fix this problem.
there is a 8mm bolt on the back of the headlight, clearly marked Up and Down! how easy is that! a few turns and voila!

I must be misunderstanding the markings; tightening the adjustment bolt raised the light's point of aim.
A thing worth doing, tho'; really very good lights after the adjustment.
The fogs can be easily adjusted as well; take out the 10 mm screw inboard of the fogs, pull them out of the airdam by pivoting them outboard, and turn them over. There is a silver philips screw with a spring surrounding it; tighten that to raise the point of impact.
My factory fogs were only good for jewelry dropped in front of the bumper...

It was an improvement but the low beam headlight output is still lacking in my opinion. I almost smacked into 4-5 deer the other night...didn't see them until the last second and luckily just breezed between them all (it was pretty insane). What's the general consensus of the SilverStar Ultras, are they worth it? I would love to do some kind of HID, but I would something that wont void the warranty, to buy from a reputable seller, and be sure what they will look like once installed. I prefer the "stock HID" look, like from a high-end Mazda3......any advice guys? All the different HID choices are kind of confusing. Thanks!

I took the HIDs out of my 1995 Civic that I built for the Grassroots Motorsports $2008 challenge and threw them in the fit the 2nd day I had it lol. It is an improvement over the stock bulbs. Luckily the HID kit that was on the Civic was a 4300k bulb so it looks more OEM than aftermarket which is nice. Doesn't compare to the Hella 90mm projector conversion I did on my 2000 Trans Am with D2S bulbs, but still an improvement over the stock lighting.

I'm debating putting 4300k in the foglights as well on the Fit. I put 3000k on the TA b/c no one has em, everyone has yellow fog lights on Hondas...I'm ass backwards lol.
