I've got the Helms manual, but am still waiting on my Fit. Pages 22-10 and 22-18 show that the DRLs require a DRL Control Unit, DRL Relay, and Low Beam Cut Relay, all of which are located under the left side of the dash. There's a DRL Indicator light shown for CDN dashes (might be dormant on USDM). Pg. 22-49 identifies Fuse Number 18 / Under-dash Fuse/Relay Box as a 10A fuse for the DRL Control Unit on CDN models.
Page 22-92 shows the DRL CU Imput Test, and identifies Connector 14P as plugging into the underside of the bracket-mounted DRL CU. Connector 14P is aptly named, as it is a 14 pin female connector, of which 12 pins are populated. The DRL and Low Beam Cut Relays appear to connect directly to the DRL CU.
If you own a USDM Fit and want to use OEM parts to enable DRLs, you will need to find Connector 14P under the left side of the dash, to the right of the steering column (I think). From the Helms diagrams, it appears you'll need a DRL Control Unit, DRL Relay, Low Beam Cut Relay, DRL CU mounting bracket, and a 10A fuse.
I'll post what I find when my Fit arrives in a few weeks, and I emailed College Hills Honda for availability and pricing on the parts.
UPDATE:
College Hills says they aren't allowed to order non-U.S. parts. Since they sell parts from overseas, I don't quite understand the problem, but they won't be bundling a DRL Kit in the future. I'll take a look for that connector when I get my Fit next week.
