I really wanted more light since I drove a lot when it was dark out. The fog lights give you a wider view up close. The install was very straightforward and the most time consuming part was getting around under the dash to plug in the harnesses and finding the harnesses to plug into. It took me about 2 hours from beginning to end.
The fog lights came with instructions from Honda and also the template that I used to cut out the holes for the fog lights. You do need a drill, two drill bits (3mm and 5.5mm), a hack saw, ratchet wrench (8mm and 10mm), and some other tools. Follow the Honda instruction manual for the install. It will show you everything you need to know. The pictures I have posted just gives you a better visual of how things will look.
Here's a link to the installation instructions from http://www.handa-accessories.com/ website.

Need to change out the glass on my Fit's fog lights, and it looks like I need to pull of the bumper portion to do so - any tips on doing that, was it pretty straightforward? (For the clips, is it just a question of popping out the inside piece with a screwdriver, and then pulling the whole thing out after, or is there more to it?)
Thanks!
You don't need to pull your bumper necessarily. For the driver side fog light, there is a screw on the left hand side. Undo that screw and then the fog light will slide out. You need to undo the plug and the fog light is out. Cheers!
Interesting, thanks - it IS the driver's side, but even after pulling out the one screw and the clip, I could see/reach much - did you mean going from the wheel well side, or from underneath? (And when you say "left", do you mean looking at the front of the car, or left from the perspective of sitting in the driver's seat?)
Thanks again!
When I said the left I meant from the front of the car. There is only one screw holding the fog light in. Once you get that screw out and get the socket off the bulb, you can pull the whole fog light including the housing out. If you need more help check out the pdf from Honda for how to install the fog lights on a base model Fit.
Where did you bought this headlights?
