ok so. first i "tinted" my fogs yellow because..
1) I like yellow fogs for asthetic reasons
2) It keeps water/dirt out of my broken foglight. lol



removed


becareful when applying to cracked lenses


remove 3 screws


clean them before applying the "tint"


The Tint- lol signal lens repair tape. $3.00


take your time applying it. smooth out the bubbles from inside out


then the bottom half. and cutt the edges with a boxcutter blade


dont worry about the edges because they wont show when the cover is on. i wraped black electric tape around the edges to prevent it from coming off


wala!


now do the same to the otherside
and put it back together





now onto the ugly part


after removing the plate holder i was pretty mad. does anyone else have this hole? i dont think so. grrr. c the ugly plug?


my custom LP bracket


POW! nice and clean









what do you guys think?









comments?

 

next to come
-independent fogs

 

I think I need to go load this thread on my computer because this pokey iPhone 1st Gen can't display it all. Haha!

I saw most of the new pics. Keep an eye on that yellow film to be sure it doesn't burn, melt or turn brown. I like yellow fogs, too. I wonder I'd you can just get yellow bulbs? The crack in your lens makes me nervouse about mine. Perhaps Honda could have put a clear cover over the fogs to protect them and give them more aerodynamics like the headlights.

 

By the way, it's good to see that someone else around here uses their garage to park their car instead of their tons of crap.

 

yea i like to use my garage. my walls tell stories of engine swaps and all kinds of things. ive used this film befor and never had problems with it. you can find this particular tape at Fred Myers in the auto dept. i will be upgrading to HID headlights (6k-8k white) and HID fogs (4k yellow) but thats later. im still paying off afew debts i aquired getting the new car. but once thats taken care of more awesomererrrr mods will come in.
can you say Mugen? T1R? JDP? BuddyClub?

Honda wont repair or replace my foglight because i got my Fit for such a low price.

but yea, i picked up that Diode from radio shack, along with some wires. going to do the independent foglight mod soon!


thanks for viewing my thread! leave some comments!

 

I'm going to err on the side of caution and bet that the Honda warranty doesn't cover fog light breakage. That's rather crummy that they won't fix it because of the price you paid.

I looked at Continental's web site today. It looks like they don't have any more used Fits and only one white manual. I'm sure glad I was able to get mine, even though it was a long-ish wait.

Engine swaps in the garage, eh? That's more than I'd consider tackling. Although, I've thought about doing future valve adjustments on my own. I hate paying someone to do something I can do.

 

i have that stupid hole on the front of my bumper too. it's mandatory for us to have a front license plate here in bc so they drill a hole for the plate holder. i've been looking for a good plug for a while. right now i'm just using the screw that held the plate holder and coloured it as black as possible

 

cant wait for this

 

i used to mess with the early model hondas civics and integras. doing suspension work or engine swaps or wire tucks etc. im only 18 and ive owned well over 20 Hondas. but the whole project car thing wasnt very reilable and i thought id try something new, literally. lol.

as for the fog light mod. im off to do it now. ill get pictures up. make sure to check back. thanks everyone!

 

here we go, Independent foglights! well, they only turn on when the parklights are on so when i turn off the car i still get a beep to remind me to turn off all my lights.

Thanks to Brayton for explaining and helping me understand how to do this. looking back now this mod is super simpleerrrrerererr than i thought it was.

heres a bad picture of todays progress.




I <3 My Fit!!!!

 

DIY Independent Foglight mod- GE8

^^theres the link i went to and followed all the steps.





Well, not sure whats coming up for the Fit now. Ill probly give it a nice wash and do a photoshoot with all the new changes. thanks for viewing my thread!

 

looks good even from that quick shot. how long did it take?

 

Good job! I knew you'd see that it was easier than the instructions made it seem after doing it.

N'Joy!

 

it took me around 30min. the hard part was removing the panels. i didnt wanna break anything so i took my time. but now, i could do this mod to someone elses car in less than 15min. im lovin it. time for a wash and a photoshoot! might at some extra interior lights and a "I <3 My Honda" sticker. thanks the comments everyone!

 

got some better pictures. their uploading now. car is a little dirty.

 

kk photobucket took forever but here they are

 

Nice updates man.

 

nice angles! it's good to see new pictures regularly

 

thanks everyone. trying to think of what to do next. i just got hired for a new job that will be bringing alot more money home. so maybe ill start ordering mods. stay tuned guys, ill keep you updated!

 

Looks like you managed to catch that five minutes of sun we had yesterday.

Have an idea for an angle for you... Park on the ramp going to the roof of the garage so your car is near the bottom of the ramp, then walk the rest of the way up and stand over your car. You'll be able to aim the camera down at the car for some odd angles. That would give some good contrast, too, with the black against concrete. I don't know what would look better, though...daytime or night? Since there is no night right now, I guess it's daytime.

You should get a shot of your car next to that funny Monster Wash sign on Dimond.

Congratulations on the new job!
