What kind of SSR's are those? I'm really interested in buying a set for my Fit as well.
Oh and what size and size tires? any spacers?

I'd love to see your set-up up close then maybe 2-3 city blocks away. I have bi-xenon HID's for headlights. I want to see how the fog lights look as i have them too ready to be install when the car is back w/ hand controls. The wait is KILLING me.

P.S. also do one looking out from behind the wheel. All this will come out best in a very dark area. Okay "Des stop being picky".

The bulb housing should come out by turning it counter-clockwise I believe, might be in there a little tight so just apply pressure

They are the recently discountinued SSR Type-F's in 16x7 +42 with a 5mm spacer in the rear only. Tires are 195-50-16 Continental Conti's. I would suggest looking at a set from their new GTV line and that would be easier for you to find

^ based on your third and fourth pictures I would say that you're probably blinding most drivers on the road at night and possibly even during the day. There are countless discussions on this forum and many others which talk about why you shouldn't put HID bulbs into your stock housings. Just google hid in stock housing.

Many people on this forum, including myself, have had their headlights "retrofitted" to properly use HID lighting. If you were to do a side by side of someone that was retrofitted vs a setup like yours which is referred to as plug and play (PnP), you as an outsider would notice significantly less glare on the retrofitted setup, and you wouldn't be blinded. Pointing the light at the wall you would notice a clean cut off line with bright even wide lighting and no leaking above. The PnP setup might show a fuzzy line against the wall with light scattered unevenly above and below this line.


Again just google "hid retrofit vs PnP"

And sorry to ramble on this, but the people that I see with this set up piss me off with their glare and probably everyone else too. I just want you to be aware of what such a setup will result in. You should seriously consider taking those bulbs out and get your headlights retrofitted if you really want hid lighting.

Also, did I mention that your PnP setup is a huge cop magnet?

I'm not running HID's they are Halogens bro. I'm aware of the HID Retrofit vs PnP and my previous car was a 98 E36 BMW I had a projector glass headlight setup for my HID for that car. I as well hate the PnP in stock housing as it glares and blinds other drivers on the road. Look up Nokya, they do sell LED's Halogens and HID Bulbs but my setup is simply Halogens it does not use no HID Ballast what so ever.

My bad for making the assumption. I didn't see your earlier post till just now. Just saw the pics and that's the first thought that came to mind. Guess there's only so much you can tell from the camera.

Thank god you're not another one of those guys..

Thanks waizzz. I would like go an inch lower in the front just to even things out but really don't want to get coilovers. Hopefully ko I will come out with the str-t shock with adjustable perch and ill just get those. I see you have the same df210 springs but for some reason yours looks more even. I even put my 16x7 work cr kai from my integra on and it still wasn't as even as yours. Any idea how much Shane charges for fender work? I was going to call fenderolla and see what his rates were.

Adrian aka Fendarolla does 60/pair 100/all 4 I believe, that's what it was last year when I got mine rolled/pulled. But you should call him to make sure haha. I'm sure you know he's in Illest Costa Mesa this weekend

Great choice, the GTV02's are a great option and are very similar to my Type-F's

You should of course check your camber which might help you run those wheels. Regarding my ride height being more even then yours it's probably just an optical illusion but since your wheels are more aggressive then mine you look uneven (I'm guessing).

Best of luck!

If you're free, we have a monthly meet in Cerritos the 2nd Saturday of every month which you are welcome to join us for!

https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/cali...onda-fits.html

April's meet is a week delayed since everyone is going to NorCal for another meet so it will be Saturday, April 21st from 7pm to 11pm

Ordered them from this vendor on Ebay, you can get one for yourself too since it looks like he has a few left:
