yeah, i saw a couple on ebay for like 49 bucks. sucks that it costs $15 to ship ups ground...and im in hawaii so im assuming it might be double that.

thanks for the info.

 

heres how i did mine, i took the wires from the grey hardness clip that came on the accord and put them on the fit clip black(ground) in the middle lt green on the corner, they fit perfectly. these wires connect to the same color wire on the green hardness and then the blue from the dome light goes to the green/red on the green hardness

 

i have the base model and I see an impression in the headliner for the map light,

2 questions:
1. is there a wiring hardness under the headliner that I can use or tap into?
2. is there enough depth for maplight/sunglass storage combo overhead unit from say an oddy?

 

ok...so i finally picked up an odyssey homelink map light (found one on ebay for $30). sucky part was no harness so i jus fabbed up one from a computer drive. so anyways, i was wondering if it is possible to just tap the 12v power for the homelink into the maplight power wire (pink wire I believe) and just ground the black wire?

I don't want to risk shorting anything so I just thought I'd ask.

 

I have read in another post ( will post link later from home pc) the OP did what you want above,
just try it outside the vehicle with a 12v powersource, also there is another post to a 12v battery conversion for the homelink,

don't forget to post some pics :-)

 

okay, got it to work. here's some crappy cellphone pics. these were taken at 6am in the morning before I started work so bare with me:

so here's the computer harness/power wire from a floppy drive i believe "P4" that I used since my homelink didn't come w/ a harness. I had to trim it a little to make it fit snugly (I'm only using the home link function..i would've needed something longer width wise to access the ambient light function).



here it is plugged into the homelink:



and here is the tap into the 12v for the map lights (pink) wire...sorry for the flash. again...this is a crappy cellphone camera:



and it works:





...now its just a matter of programming it. can't wait to get rid of that ugly remote clipped onto my visor.

 

I got a odyssey homelink map light unit off of ebay and was hoping to use the whole unit with sunglass storage in my 2009 base. For anyone else with this hope, there is no depth for the sunglass area and the roofs metal bracket has legs that would prevent you from installing it without some bending or sawing off. I ended up just making hole for 34404-SNA-A01ZD - Map light base and using the lenses and guts from the odyssey unit. The roof head liner has an indentation on the inside that lets you know where hole edges are. I just had to feel and cut carefully.

 

I finally picked up a TSX unit from eBay. Has anyone figured out which wire to tap into for the ambient light function? Thanks!

 

Yep, Link for the lazy

 

For anybody that has completed this mod. How much light output was lost with the small lenses? I really love the strong light from the huge stock Fit map lights.

Has anyone just tried to instal this entire part?

If so, how secure was in held in?

 

Here's my install & all the details ---> https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/1052567-post14.html

I followed Zalthras' instructions for the connections, since I have the Navi.

Even with the existing bolts it is very secure, I did get longer bolts which I've installed and it it perfect, I will update the other thread with the part #'s soon.

 

anyone wanna sell their fit sport map lights that were removed when adding the homelink :-) :-)

 

dang i cannot find these for that cheap on ebay.

 

Planning on doing this and have the same questions... has anybody done this on their base fit? My only concerns are what type of screws we need to mount it and if a harness exists for the map light.

Thanks in advanced!

 

Do I connect TheTsx homelinlk Grn/red and green to the fit Blue switched ground wire ? or where do you connect the Tsx homelinlk green wire to

 

Finished mine last night. I found a 05 Accord Homelink unit in the salvage yard, it was brown so i just pained it black till i can find a grey one to match the interior. Mine is a sport w/o Navi so i ordered the Navi map lite housing from Honda, and used the light covers from the Accord unit. I didn't wire up the door switch or the ambient lite so i just removed those wires. I tapped the white/blue to the pink power for the lights, and put a ring terminal on the black and put it under the screw. Works like a charm.

 

Awesome dude. You alone doing that? Hope i can do that to my car.
