Page 319 of your owners manual tells you what wattage bulbs to use where.

IT DOESNT GIVE U THE SIZE
it just tells u the wattage
hell i can give you the honda parts number if u want
but i need the AFTERMARKET part number
such as 7440, 7443, 1156, 1157
here u want the headlight part number for 9006/hb4? its 33116-s84-a11
what good does 33116-s84-a11 do at autozone? NO GOOD AT ALL

here i will even throw in a website that gives you all the honda part number including all the honda FIT accessories

just email that autoillumination place and tell them what you're out to accomplish.

hope the driver that potentially rear-ends you doesn't get hurt since your tails will be clear, not RED...

Looking at my own owners manual, it seems the tail light bulbs are NOT the traditional bayonet type, but the newer all glass type. You will need a dual contact one for your tail light and a single contact one for your turn signal (if it is separate, don't US cars flash the brake lights instead?).

That means you need 7443 for the tail light and 7440 for all the single circuit ones.


I don't know what the legalities regarding light colours are in Texas, but if your tail lights shine white and not red here in NSW you get defected. If you're keeping the original red lens you will be OK.

you sir..have officially proven you can not read at all
i have never said i was going to clear all my whole tail lights
i wanted to clear out my turn signals and parking light
i never said i was going to clear out my brake lights
as far as im concerned, the turn signal lights are yellow and i want to clear that up to hyper white and that has nothing to do with braking

thank you..please try harder to make me look stupid next time without making your self look stupid

i CAN read, but i can't understand your post. so who's stupid?

you asked about the "tail lights". people who speak english in america refer to tail lights as "brake lights"; and "parking light" IS your brake light in the rear...

but yea, if you're thinking about changing tail lights, turn signals, etc. to white, hyper white or whatever... it's just plain stupid. not to mention unsafe.

They're single filament so you'd need 7440. I'm pretty sure they are both a standard size. If you have a brighter one for your reversing lights than the original 16W I'm guessing you won't mind. The LED should draw less than this anyway.

Not sure whether the USDM fit has a white or orange turn signal lens at the back (mine is Australian Thai built Jazz and has white lens needing an orange globe). If the lens is orange, well and good, but if not you should get the amber type bulb rather than hyper white. Remember that being an LED I'm pretty sure that it actually stays white until it's lit, so your fashion sense is not offended . You really don't want your turn signals flashing white. If its for show, put them in for the show, but don't drive it on the street like that.

Licence plate bulb you will have to email the website and ask. It would help if you tell them as much as possible about the original bulb (ie 5W, wedge type)

so they both are 7440?

but 7440 will work for both?

One is turned sideways. That's why they look different. I'm pretty sure they don't make two wedge type globes that similar in size, even though they are different Watts.

Of course, you could always open it up and have a look...

Anyone happen to know the bulb sizes for JDM tail lights. I think this was discussed somewhere before, but I can not find it.
