Would one of the Mod's mind posting bulb sizes for 12'-13'?
 
Hi fellow fit family. When I bought my 13' FIT Sport, I referred to the bulb sticky here to buy my LED bulbs. Stated most were T10 size so I bought 10. Well as I started to install, the only T10 socket was the cargo light. Even the College Hills Honda LED Pkg which ill probably do leaves out the bulb size for the center console bulb which I want to do blue like the foot well light sfrom Honda which im not buying. ty guys/girls.

I couldn't find the sticky you were referring to.
T10's should fit cargo, dome, reverse, license plate.
Map lights are festoon type.
Those are the ones I've replaced, in my '13 sport. Haven't looked at any other bulbs so I can't help you there.

Thank you but what about center console bulb that shines over center storage / cup holders? I want to put a blue led bulb there to match the blue gauges and navigation blue map at night. Too technical? :-)

What's the bulb size for the reading lights? And aren't they different on nav equipped models because the mic sits in between the reading lights? It looks like the 04'-08' Acura TSX reading lights but w/o the Homelink buttons.

I appreciate the help BTW.

when I did my own searching the one that lights up the cupholders was a 74, but I never physically looked at the bulb to confirm.

As for the maplights, mine are DE3175/DE3022 my Canadian Fit didn't have Navi as an option, but it does have bluetooth, so I'm assuming it's the same setup as yours with the mic between the lights.

look at 1:13 for how to pry off the cover to check your bulb for the maplights

look at 0:59 for the cupholders

I have always used the bulb guide on sylvannia/osram website for bulb sizes

Lamp Replacement Guide View All Bulbs

Hope this helps! Also, sometimes led bulb sizes will differ from halogen sizes so just google something like "194 led equivalent" or something just to be sure, good luck!

Yeah it left out the ambient console bulb on that site as well. Like I stated earlier, I'm going to buy the LED interior bulb kit from www.collegehillshonda.com which they do a kit pkg for every newer Honda that wants to update the interior a little. I'm only wanting to find the correct bulb for the center console ambient bulb so I can buy a blue led bulb. It'll give me the blue hue on the foot well without having to buy Honda's footwell kit. Does this make sense to anyone? 😂

Is it the bulb the shines from a tiny hole onto the center console like on the audis and beemers? I'm sure you have checked your user manual already but in case you did not, maybe its in there? Either way, if the size is not listed anywhere, maybe the only way is to take the bulb out and reference it on the internet from pictures of all the available LED bulbs available. Or call a Honda dealer and ask? Sorry couldn't be of any assistance to you =(.

i don't think changing that bulb will illuminate the footwells. The factory one doesn't even light up the cubby hole beside the cupholders.
Take out the bulb to verify the size. I've already given you a video on how to do it.

Wow bro. I think you'll want to eat crow after I remind you may want to look at my signature. I'm a paraplegic so that is easier said than done. Most here more than likely understood why I was asking fellow owners for assistance with this. Your post came off as ignorant and condescending to someone who is very educated about the 13 Hondas/Acuras I've owned since 98'. I am simply asking about a bulb I physically can not get to or remove for that matter. If anyone still wants to assist me with this investigating on finding the correct bulb I always appreciate the efforts folks here go to assist a fellow owner. I'm very thankful this site exists. Again thank you. Now back on the subject at hand. :-)

I want to switch the bulb with a blue LED to give a soft hue similar to the blue led pin lights that beam down from the reading lights on my previous car 07 Acuras TL and most Acuras / Hondas not as bright as the footwell lights. Does that makes sense?
