Found it on eBay. Just search for LED board with a 194/16 base. Mine is a 12 LED.

194/168 base, right? And do you think a 20-bulb board would fit?

I have been putting my Fit back together.. I won't be able to do some of the things I planned to for awhile but it should be a bit faster anyway and I'll at least be able to get around in it. I had been concerned about having the funds for additional parts needed until I remembered I had stashed a couple of thousand away in my sock and skivvy drawer...Some of it will be spent on the Eldorado project and the rest on the Fit...

That's too big. Or you can measure the dimensions the inside housing. I remember I had to sand down a tiny bit of the board to squeeze that one in there.

I have snows mounted on Steelies, but the performance in the snow in disappointing. Seeing how I paid off the car this month, I was thinking of having my Baby Professionally Wax. I think You may have pushed me over the edge for the Wax Job. I will start looking for rims soon. BTW your car looks great.

I did a MTF change. It wasn't easy and it really is a 2 man job. Plus I was given a wrong size drain plug washer by a honda dealer in Montreal. Unacceptable.

^^ Totally unacceptable especially if you told them that your Fit was indeed a manual transmission.

Monday: Aligned the Fit at work. The steering wheel was just a hair off center and its been bugging be me for a while so I leveled it and set the front toe to +0.01 on both sides.

Today: I got bored and wanted to experiment with something. I disconnected the battery completely and disconnected/removed the TPMS module to see if it would kill the power to the TPMS module or throw a TPMS code. Started the car, it coded... so I promptly reinstalled the module. Looks like I'm pulling the gauge cluster sometime soon.

Changed my spark plugs today and just finished washing it. May end up taking it out and doing some last minute Christmas shopping in a bit.

^^ Hondata does have some Flash Pro videos on youtube you guys can check out. They're a mix of tutorials on how to use the product and give a little bit of insight of what you're looking at in various point's in the Flash Pro program.

Here is a link for one of the books I bought awhile back to get a better idea about how to go about tuning... I'm a nervous nellie about messing up due to having learned about engine tuning in the days of points, plugs, condensers, jet changes, dwell meters and taking plug readings after shutting down the engine and disengaging the clutch at the top of 2nd or 3rd gear... I also think I recall seeing a dinosaur or two when I was little but they were probably just horned toads.
