Viewers Note!
6:30 The passenger side light appears to be brighter, or does not switch between the High Beam to Low Beam.
I actually had the bulb installed upside down. This was later corrected by removing the bulb and reinserting it after 180* turn.

This is 9003 type in America I'm new to parts
@@Teah8cbdude I'm newish to cars too, lol
@@HondaFit4Adventure I meant for America, because I think certain countries have different numbers for the bulb,
Does it say 9003 on the box or something else? I might have missed it sorry
@@Teah8cbdude It says it's an H4 Socket.
I understand what number your giving me now, but I don't think those numbers were printed on this box.

This helped a bunch im starting to do some things to my fit 🙌🏼
Your Welcome!
There's plenty of Honda Fit upgrade, maintenance and how-to videos on the channel.
Enjoy!
I have a 2020 Honda Fit LX, I watched your video and I am considering purchasing the same bulb, I called the company and they encouraged me to get the resistor kit as I might get a code from the computer as the lights may flicker, what I don’t like about the resistor kit is that I was told it gets hot and I do not want to drill any holes to mount it inside the headlight surroundings. Great video thank you for your help.
Hi Gerry, I'm not sure who you talked to, but I choose these lights specifically because they did not require any special add-ons.
It's almost been a year since the install and I haven't received any codes or flickers. It just appears to flicker on camera.
Congratulations on your new car! Let us know what bulb you end up going with.
Love your work 👍🏿 I have a Honda Jazz /Fit in Australia 🇦🇺
Are you going to do anything with the head unit?
I'd love to replace it but have no idea how to go about it. Something with Apple and Android and fits into the original area.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers 🙂
I'm trying to find a head unit that can run dual apps side by side. I'd like to be able to run Waze & Google Maps at the same time for traffic and speed updates. So far I haven't been successful. At the moment I'm currently using a tablet mounted via the CD player slot. It works but flat and in the dash would be better. It's still on the project list though.
The homer sound caught me offguard lol. I cut up the my headlight boot when I put some aftermarket LED's I got from Amazon into my '19 Sport.
Dude, dropping that plate into the engine bay set me back an hour. I had to take the wheel off and remove the wheel well trim to get to it.
I've seen some ridiculously sized heat sinks, I could see it shredding up your boot.
Great video - just curious, no error codes after installing the bulbs?
No I did not.
The website I bought them through guaranteed no issues or no ballasts/resistors extra were needed.
What headlight bulbs did you use? I used beamtech LED H4 and the beam pattern was totally wack. Yours have a crisp cutoff and your highbeam seems really good.
Hi Brad, I googled your beamtech head lights and they look exactly the same as mine, just rebranded. I purchased them through superbrightleds.com and that is the name that they have printed on them.
As I mentioned in another comment when I was showing off the lights before and after, the passenger side headlight was installed upside down. This is why there appears to be no difference when I switch between low and high beams on the passenger side.
This was fixed for the end of the video when I was driving in the dark down the service road.
@@HondaFit4Adventure I just bought these recently. Is there a way to know which side is right side up? I'm afraid to install it upside down as well.
@@gekisen01 Hi there, Sorry for the delay!
There's what looks like to be a metal tab that partially covers one of the LEDs on the bulb. When the bulb is installed, the metal tab should be toward the bottom of the headlight.
Here's a close up picture of the LED bulb.
www.superbrightleds.com/media/catalog/product/cache/cb26e5a64f935c0ec4578d3774ebd133/h/4/h4-hlaw-store.jpg
The LED bulb on the right, is how it should be facing after it is installed.
You said the bulb you’re using has no ballast, I called Superbright and they said they have a bulb that is twice as bright for $79 and it has a ballast is that a better choice? Great video thank you for your help.
Hey Gerry,
I did not want one twice as bright as I did not want to blind oncoming drivers.
There's nothing wrong with resistors or ballasts. Some people just prefer a direct plug and play light.
@@HondaFit4Adventure Great answer, thank you for responding. 👍
Damn the fit is small, how bright do u want it lol.
I got led ones too and the daytime running lights unfortunately keep it on low beam, and when I put light settings on Auto, it can high beam so bright that an officer ran a siren next to me on the opposite lane driving toward me.
He slowed down nobody was in front of me or him it was rather late, but it was in accident.
He didn't pull me over but I can see how I bright it was, and how far away the cop was that I did see him when the high beam flashed on his face.
I honestly wish the high beam was slightly lower and less bright cause man, at night I can flash my whole neighborhood it's ridiculously bright.
Did you use both (low/high beam) H4 size bulb socket?
Yes
I have an 08 fit sport automatic and I lose power when turning my steering wheel. That's with the heater on and radiator fan turning on and off. Also the radio will shut off and turn back on again. Passenger Airbag light will stay on sometimes as well. Other fit users have had similar problems. I'm guessing the battery doesn't have enough power/ CCA to keep everything running at the same time. I have heard the 26r batteries with 550 CCA are a good upgrade over the OEM.
I'm not sure about the older Fit, but I did a similar upgrade with this one. I got the 51R over the 151R ruclips.net/video/dOvXbrguDME/видео.html
@@HondaFit4Adventure I have heard optima batteries have poor quality now that they are built elsewhere. How's yours holding up so far? Any loss of power?
@@videogamesplanet6631 I have read that too. So far so good but it's only been a couple of months. I carry a battery jumper in my car now after my stock battery died on my road trip.
where did you buy the bulbs from?
SuperBrightLeds.com
Really helpful, thanks bro!
Thank You Victor!
That's the first time I've seen a DAB emoji, lol.
I'm having trouble the clip back after putting on the adapter plate, how did you do it ? You said to push it down, and then do I got to swing the clip over so I can latch to something?
Hi Panda,
Sorry for the delayed response. It's been about two years since I've filmed this video, but that does sound correct. Hopefully you've figured it out by now. If not let me know and I'll upload a RUclips short for you. (I'll have some better lighting)
do you remember if you you pressed the entire boot in when installing the headlight bulbs? my adapter kind of pops out from its slot when i press the boot in all the way around the circle housing, and kind of sucks the led back. i havent driven with it but i assume it would shake all around while driving since its not seated.
oh nevermind i think i know what it is. I ended up taking off the wire holder piece because i wasn’t understanding how it would stay with the bulb, but i guess that is holding down the adapter.
Gonna do this and will update 😅
okay yep that was it. Install the adapter plate like a bulb to hold it in, then the boot, then the LED and twist.
Sorry for the delay, It looks like you figured it out though.
#DriveSafe@@MatterBe
man, you really been on it for a hot min..IDK i am late to the game.
I'm about to be @DonutMedia for the Honda Fit
"(INSERT PART) Are They Worth It?"
Do the lights seem a little to strong for you because I’m driving around m city and I just feel like they are a little bright, maybe it’s just getting used to from switching to the old trash halogens, I’m just afraid the other drivers can’t see lol
They are noticeably are brighter, but no one has flashed there lights at me yet so I assume there not that bad compared to some other brands.
Do you know if the LX 2018-2020 model comes with pre installed wires for the fog lights even if they didnt come with fog lights?
I installed the whole kit my self already including adding my own wiring for it but i was curious.
I'm almost positive it does not.
It's a different wiring harness unless you had the fog light option added to the LX when you purchased the Fit brand new.
I've thought about adding my own as well.
@@HondaFit4Adventure For sure, i thought not i looked hard before installing my own wiring for the fog lights because i found some extra wire connections thay weren't being used but idk what its for.
Hi, I have a couple of questions...
1.) So do these work with the "Auto" feature that most Fits have or do you have to manually change the beams from like for example, "Off - Low Beam (which is the second turn I believe) "
2.)My factory halogen headlights are like a 3 in 1, for example, they have a daytime feature very dim. They also have a low beam the one you use at night turns on by itself. And then the high beam for when it is really dark. Are these strictly low beams you use at night time and high beam or do they also have that daytime feature?
I hope these questions make sense, thanks!
To the best of my understanding they do work with the auto feature. I drive a manual so in my case when I release the ebrake they would come on.
I believe the day time running light is completely separate from this bulb. (I don't have fog lights) but I believe you are talking about the lights @0:10 These lights do come on automatically when I start the car. Since I was in a closed space I just activated the lights by rotating the switch manually. I hope this helps.
Yes it does, I also have the manual, stick is always the way to go!!!!
Oh another quick question, I want to replace the tail lights halogens with the leds (The bulb when you go in reverse). I went on the website super bright leds and they had a bulb that was specified for it. Was just wondering if you replaced the reverse tail light bulbs and if so which specific bulb did you buy from the sight?
@@Naz-th6bw Hi Nazmi, I did not replace the reverse lights. I could be wrong but I believe the reverse/tail lights all together are not quite pug and play. You have to dissconect the tailight from the wiring, and then remove the socket from the tail light that the bulb sets into. I honestly haven't tried to remove the socket I don't know how difficult it exactly is. I'll try it out and get back to you.
@@HondaFit4Adventure ok thank you
Was wondering what you mounted your light bar onto. I see its under the bumper cover. Did you mount it the lower radiator support?
Its bolted up to the black plastic. Theres a waffle cone section between the two layers of plastic so it's pretty strong and doesnt vibrate. I'm on a adventure right now, when I get back I'll make a video of how I wires them up because everyone's been asking.
Okay cool, hope everything stays fun! Be safe and remember to enjoy yourself because the biggest adventure is where life in your Fit takes you!
@@philsantos4082 🙏🙌
Thanks broth❤️
You're Welcome Ariel. Thank You for Watching!
i got a 2014/15 model, so all you had to do was replace the light bulb to a led light bulb only? no need to change the socket to plug it in?
No need to change the socket or the plug.
You just need to clip on that adapter plate and twist in the LED bulb.
No relays or resistors required.
Hi, so far after you install led H4, got any trouble or problems occur?
I've owned them for 7 months and have not had any issues, problems or engine codes with them.
These bulbs did not require any extra relay, resistor or ballast for them to function. They were plug and play.
After I installed, my daytime running lights stay on bright low beam. Not like yours in the video. I feel it ruins the lights if I leave it on all day
Can you help me out man?
Hey Dude,
What did your original comments say?
I believe they contained more information then the comment above.
What lights did you buy exactly? You mentioned them having a fan?
finally picked up an gk5 as a second car, what would be some nice qol accessories/mods you'd recommend? (auto)
That's a hard question...
Make sure all the maintenance is up to date first. Fluid changes, belt, spark-plugs etc.
Accessories:
A dash camera would be my first choice. It makes police investigations and insurance claims go a lot quicker.
L.E.D. head lights obviously, a battery jumper and air-pump.
Modifications:
Oil catch can ASAP. This helps prevent contaminates that will slowly start to build up on your valves. This is a common issue on the newer GDI engines.
I haven't installed it yet, but the Progress rear Sway Bar seems to be everyone's first recommendation for all generations of the FIT.
The FIT isn't a fast car, but it's light and handles well so I would say it's better to spend money on suspension upgrades then performance parts.
When you need to replace your battery, upgrade it from a 151r to a 51r. This is a Honda Civic/Accord battery that's roughly the same physical size but will provide more cold cranking amps.
Video in the making:
I like the pedal commander, but not for $300. $200 maybe $225.
I recently learned about a similar product that comes with a disable mode that would help prevent
My Fit just hit 100k this year so I'll be upgrading and installing a few things I know everyone is interested in.
Coilovers - Wilwood Brakes - Short Throw Shifter - Shifter & Shifter Cable bushings etc.
@@HondaFit4Adventure Thanks for the extensive reply :)
2017 Honda Fit - after installing fahren led my headlight is dimly lit although my lights are set to off position. Any idea why it does not turn off completely?
You might have to ask that question on FitFreaks.net or HondaFitOwnersGroup on FaceBook.
I did see this on the product listing "may require additional CAN bus decoder to be installed. "
i have this same problem. Installed LED with CANBUS adapter. In OFF position, the high beams will, sometimes, light up half-way (not 100%), then when I switch on the low beam, it will switch to low beam. Switch to high beam, it will switch to high beam full power. But when I turn off all the headlights, the high beam half-way power is back. So weird.
Does adding stronger and brighter light bulbs to your vehicle require a battery upgrade ? Like a bigger or stronger battery ?
No. These are LED bulbs which use less power than the factory incandescent bulbs.
I also run a 18" light bar in the lower grille, which draws a lot more power.
ruclips.net/video/-eEviRN5nhM/видео.htmlsi=p1wZuuZyZkErRhBf
The bigger issue, at least with LED headlights is going to be the CANBUS electrical system.
Newer cars are equipped with the CANBUS system and it is sensitive to any modifications.
Since the LED bulb draws less power, some brands require resistors, ballasts, or other add on devices to prevent any hyper flashing or other headlight related issues.
This is why it is also important to buy from a reputable brand.
@@HondaFit4Adventure thank you so much. Well I think my vehicle should be okay I own a 2019 Honda fit which looks similar to yours. And my installation process was exactly how your video showed. I am so glad I made this change I was sick of the yellow light lol. Thanks for your response!
You're welcome. Switching to LED headlights was one of the cheapest and best modifications that I've done to the Honda Fit. I was really surprised that the GK did not come equipped with LEDs back when it was released.@@SickestToys
@@HondaFit4Adventure absolutely the same feeling here. And HUGE HUGE HUGE thanks for plugging in the place to buy these lights I was searching for a while and thankfully stumbled upon your video. 💯 keep up the good work my friend.
10:58 .... Yes it is good sir.😂
(Insert future youtube video here)
Now we can really laugh at it.
How to change parking light to led. Can you please guide me. Thanks
Hi Adil. Are those the yellow light bulbs? 💡
@@HondaFit4Adventure yes, currently its yellow (halogen) bulbs. I need to change it to LED.
@@HondaFit4Adventure Hello, yes it is. And if possible guide me. Thanks
Where did you get the adaptor for the headlight?
Hi Leon, It came with the LED bulbs.
Thanks I just figured its not compatible with the 2018 fit 😅
Is this the GK5? What year model?
Yes, 2015 LX

What kinda bulb does a 2020 Honda Fit use?
I believe it's still the same ol "H4" socket
Fog light bulb?
Sorry I dont have fog lights.
I do have a light bar in the lower grill though.
What is the bulb number? Is it 9003?
Hi Jason,
It looks like H4 and 9003 are interchangeable. The bulb I purchased was an H4 socket type.
www.superbrightleds.com/vehicle-lights/led-vehicle-replacement-bulbs/led-headlight-bulbs-conversion-kits/h4-led-fanless-headlight-fog-light-conversion-kit-with-internal-drivers-4-000-lumens-set-cool-white
It looks like the website I used has been updated and you're no longer able to filter by your vehicle type :(
Man the retainer fell in the engine bay and i cant get it out
When this happened to me I had to remove the wheel and wheel liner to fish it out 🤦♂️.
There is a pen size tool that is retractable pole with a magnet at the end that is perfect for these situations.
Unless you adjust your camera to have the same aperture and shutter speed, for both photos, the photo of the original lamps and tne LED replacement, looking at the photos you have taken will not give you a good idea of the difference. Your camera, when it sees the brighter lamps, will simply reduce the aperture and increase the shutter speed, in order to make the brighter lamps look more like the original, less bright lamp. Any attempt to make a comparison should be accompanied by info about shutter speed and aperture, and if in a film style camera, the film speed.
Hi Teddy,
I agree that both video clips should be from the same camera and at the same settings should be used. Both the incandescent and L.E.D. bulb were filmed on a GoPro7 - 2k - at 60fps.
However I don't agree with my camera seeing "brighter lamps will reduce the aperture and increase the shutter speed, in order to make the brighter lamps look more like the original, less bright lamp."
You can see in the video that that is not the case.
We're going from a dim lit yellowish bulb to a bright clear white that can easily be picked up on camera.
@@HondaFit4Adventure Yes, the LED headlights look somewhat brighter than the halogen headlights, but I strongly suspect that if you had the same aperture and shutter speed settings, for both images, the difference in brightness would be even more pronounced. But don't take my word for it, try it and see what happens. If you have an inexpensive camera like my web cam, which does not have a separate control for shutter speed and aperture, all but the very least expensive web cams will at least have an "exposure" setting (which simultaneously sets both shutter speed and aperture). For a web cam it is likely to be in the downloadable software that comes with the camera,. Make sure it is not set to automatic, try different numbers, and finally, settle on the same number for LED headlights, as for halogen.
Lay off the crack bud you are going to fast and twitchy! (Dumb joke I know) my mother just gave me her 2015 fit because she wanted a Toyota Venza and I’m trying to figure out what bulbs to go with. How are they doing months later? I got a set for my wrangler and they started to poop out and be less bright about a year after install.
I used the vehicle selector on SuberBrightLeds.com no affiliation.
They dont require any resistors,fans,etc.
I havent had any issues so far.
People dont speak anymore?
Lol, this was one of my first RUclips videos. I talk and go into detail in all my newer videos.
