IIRC, 460 is low beam only but it's super wide. the 430 is bixenon and not as wide. both are pretty excellent choices but since our headlights don't have a separate high beam, 430 is probably the more practical choice.

Thanks for the info. I thought it was the other way around from the few threads I read over at hidplanet.
I'm so confused with what to do with my retrofit... good thing I won't be getting to it till atleast next summer if not later. Hopefully by then I'll figure out what I'm going to do.

x2 on a DIY



Since last yr we didn't celebrate xmas or her b-day, my GE8 is getting a whole lot of stuff this yr.
Already she got the LED keyring which I bought for her almost 3 yrs ago but was defective, so she cried till I found her another one.
She also got a roof console w/ homelink, sunglass holder, ambient light & Navi mic. Also got her an Acura switchblade key, & the LED center console, plus the acc outlet repositioned. Plus lots & lots of JDM goodies like badges/emblems, rear spoiler & garnish, tails, steering wheel, horns & autofold w/winker side mirrors, and a few electrical modules . Too bad she won't get to play with a lot of those toys till the weather warms up again, but just before that she will get a few dings repaired and a good detailing. She's been very good this year.

Depending on the price and whether I have started on my retrofit I might be really interested when the time comes to sell it

430 is Bi-Xenon
460 US market is Low-Beam (also has a high-beam projector that is prized)
460 Asian market is Bi-Xenon

Yes, orangeburst metallic. Copper in shade, more burnt orange in sun. I believe tint is 15% all around but looks darker due to color and being in shade. Although, the lower the number the lighter the tint? Thanks :-)

I got my 2011 some window visors and a Foamaster. Actually, they were Christmas presents to me, but I passed them on to my Fit. Drove down the highway today in pouring rain with all four windows cracked! I love those visors!

Hi, Java. Just curious: How's your Fit in the New York snow, especially the frequent/frequently deep storms we had in the winter of '10-'11? Is the low ground clearance a problem?

I didn't really have any issues last season but I don't try to offroad with it either. You just need to know the cars limits and you'll be fine. Im pretty excited to try out my new tires this season though

Ah, thanks. No, I wasn't thinking of offroading, either. Just wondering what it was like in the snow in everyday driving. Did you put on new all-season tires, or do you have dedicated snow tires?

I have eight inches of clearance in my '06 CR-V (along with ABS and VSC, which the '12 Fit also has), and I still avoid driving in the snow if possible.
