Thanks
Well first off remove the bulb so it doesn't kill your battery. Maybe check the fuse and try again.

So in the middle of opening the dome cover, i must have pressed on the bulb. And now it works as it should, then a little bit later it went back to the dysfunctional way. Very weird

Check the bulb prong holders and make sure that one didn't end up slightly warped or something? Could also be the switch shorting out.

Took my car yesterday for some protective measures. Got the hood wrapped (it had a ton of rock chips, and it was either respray or wrap, I chose wrap) and windows tinted. It looks much sportier now. :lol:




Windows tinted




Carbon fiber hood wrap

Looks good, also I would add a good waxing to that list too. The milano red is notorious for fading and having clear coat failure. It's not an easy color to manage. It's worth it to spend 30 minutes a month waxing, than paying 1K+ for repainted roof/spoiler/hood.

After 3 and a half years I Finally got hit...in my own drive way to boot. Someone was nice enough to leave a 7'' long crease in my quarter panel with their tail gate I assume since I found the tailgate cap laying on the ground Next to the quarter panel.

Good to know. I know I'm learning my wife's 07 Civic Hybrid that's Taffeta White is also no fun to keep in tip top shape. I haven't had the Fit detailed yet, but will schedule it soon. Was going to do it this week, then the wife reminded me I was taking her to the Luke Bryan concert, and it's a gravel lot against a corn field...so, better to do it after.

Based from Ryu's advice, I polish my Takero's Rear Spoiler Carbon Fiber Lips to take out the oxidation...
I use compound, then cleaner wax than micro finish wax then carnauba wax...
Looks much better now, but still not perfect as when it was new...
maybe when I buy JDP Carbon Fiber Hood (hopefully end of this year), I can ask him
to refinish my Takero's Rear Lips too...

I am also currently trying to figure out if the Mugen Fit GK Meter Assist Gauge Kit would fit on our Honda Fit GE...
I still need Fuel Pressure, Oil Pressure, and Oil Temperature gauge for my car...

From what I observe from several pictures on the internet,...
Usually Mugen Meter Assist is angled slightly to the right for Right Hand Drive driver,
but since the Fit GK entire center dashboard had been angled, then the Mugen Meter Assist Gauge Pod for GK is straight... so I think it can be used on top of our GE A/C Vent...

Hopefully I can buy them early next year... and hopefully it fit...

Here are the pictures, not only the gauge is nice, the pod is also very nice huh...

Good Idea Ryu,
When I buy the JDP Carbon Fiber hood, I plan to paint it in Taffeta White anyway... so a shop need to do it for me... and I will tell them to refinish my CF Takero's too.
Thanks

Had my gas pump and A/C condenser fan replaced. I've been having stalling isues when car is cold, been replacing almost everything related to it (coil packs, ignition coil, battery, etc) but finally replacing the gas pump seems to have solved the issue. As for the A/C Condenser fan, it started to sound funny so decided to replace it before it died on me.

Took my car through one of those "no touch" drive thru car washes. As i was driving through the air dry portion I noticed something fly off as the roof was being dried. I finished, looked back into the car wash and at my roof and my driver side weather strip had come off. Clips were fine so it bolted right back on. Just weird...

Want to replace my brake pads for OEM ones, please confirm if these are the ones I should be ordering :

(note, I'm looking for OEM quality and not wanting to break my bank; for USD20.00 the set I can't complain)

Your link isn't working for me. I'm showing $44.30 for a set of OEM pads through my sources, including the site you linked.
