Trucnk Light

Can someone please tell me how to open up the trunk light so I can change the bulb in my 09 Fit sport? Or direct me to the appropriate thread? I tried to search. Thanks guys.

if your talking about the cargo light.
all you need is a small screw driver.
just pry on it and it will pop right out.

Exactly - slip a rag between your screwdriver and the light housing to prevent scratches.

Although I highly recommend you do the DIY that niko has in his sig. I changed to a brighter bulb thinking it would be brighter but it still didnt light up a damn thing. The cargo light upgrade he did lights up the entire area big time. Even when the rear seats are down it lights up the whole car, definately worth doing...

Yep - that was an awesome mod/DIY by Niko...I didn't want to lose that car seat anchor (or whatever it is) just yet, may need it some day...but for everyone else, awesome upgrade!

in reality you don't lose it. it still flips down and is usable.

Thanks guys I just didn't want to break it. I plan on wedging one of these in there The Slimmest LED Dome Light on the Market . I really like that extra light mod as well, but am going to wait until its a few more days old before I cut up anything. Thanks
