The Honda Fit uses the OEM Honda EP3/DC5 Sidemarkers which come in either Amber or Clear. The lower end models like the 1.3A and 1.5A in Japan came with the Clear Sidemarkers, where as some models in Europe came with the Amber Sidemarkers. I personally purchased the Clear OEM Honda EP3/DC5 Sidemarkers from Matt at ICB Motorsport:

JDM Integra DC5/EP3 Type R CLEAR Side Markers ( w/ Wiring)

As then you have all the proper sockets, wiring, and connections from the sidemarker, and you only have to splice and extend the wiring to splice into the signal wiring harness.

You can also purchase the Amber OEM Honda EP3/DC5 Sidemarkers with the wiring harness from ICB Motorsport as well:

JDM Integra DC5/EP3 Type R AMBER Side Markers ( w/ Wiring)

Here's a good link with information on installing the sidemarkers once you've purchased them: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...-template.html

Page 1 contains all the necessary information on where the sidemarker is to be placed upon the fender, and Page 3 contains a post which gives you the ability to download a printable to scale PDF file for the sidemarker hole. However, it should be noted that the PDF file is for the Honda Integra / Acura RSX and the body lines are to be ignored.

super easy. just use a dremel.

cut a small square and file out. or if you think you can do it without messing up. cut a measured area out and just slide the sidemarkers in.

i used speaker wire.
