Moisture build up in headlamps. Honda claims that moisture buildup inside the headlight housing is normal and not something that needs to be replaced/addressed. Per Honda anytime there is a reduction of temperature outside the headlamp it will cause condensation inside the headlamp. Moisture inside the headlamp causes refraction of the light and reduces nighttime visibility. So anytime you drive at night after the temperature has dropped your visibility is reduced due to the moisture.

From the first year the Fits front light covers are so scratched from nature visabity when driving at night is dangerous. I have had them buffed and shined with the same result happening. The factory tint is so bubbled and faded disability out of the rear window is a safety hazard. The paint on the roof and hood looks like it has completely faded off and they continue to get worse. I inquired at year 3 about these issues and was told it is not warranted. That I could pay someone to replace the tent, headlight covers and get it repainted. It is very hard to see put if the window and at night with the headlights.

2007 Honda Fit sport I bought 2 of these cars at the same time. I have noticed after about 25k miles that on both cars the left side of the car has an electrical short that causes one of the lights in the headlight that blinks when you use the auto clicker to lock and unlock the car to go out until you push the light. Honda looked at one of the cars and said so sorry don't know why it did that but it works now. Now about 4 months later my other car that Honda hasn't looked at is doing the same thing.

The contact owns a 2008 Honda Fit. The Honda Fit sport is designed so that the instrument panel illuminates to full brightness as soon as the ignition is turned on--day or night. It cannot be turned off at all. (the dealer and manufacturer confirm this. ) the problem is that I, like, I suspect, most drivers, rely on a dark car interior as a prompt to turn on the headlights at night. This week I have driven home from work three out of five nights with no headlights. (on one occasion I was prompted by a kind approaching driver who "blinked" me; on another I actually remembered to turn the lights on. The degree of illumination, incidentally, can be controlled when the headlights are on. The too-bright dashboard is a mild annoyance during the daytime, but that in itself would not merit a complaint. The major issue is this: I chose this car largely because of its excellent safety rating--and I now feel very unsafe when I arrive home and discover that I have just driving six miles on chicago streets with no headlights. The contact purchased the vehicle in January of 2008 and has only been driving the vehicle during the day. The failure mileage was 8,000.
