Want all dash lights off when headlights are off

Can anyone tell me what the fuse numbers and locations are on a 2010 fit sport so I can hook up a switch to kill the dashboard lights when the car is in park and the headlights are off all dash lights come on fully bright. I already found that if I have the emergency brake on when I start the car in park the DRL lights stay off.


Want to do this so that when warming up the car at night the blue glow doesn't give away that the car is running...

Can't help but wonder if you are trying to make a fast getaway

I guess the exhaust is not a telltale sign then?

Why not put the handbrake on then rather than pulling fuses? Would you put the fuse back in to drive?

Hey there DW Blue. All ready for Xmas? No presents for the Fit here this year.

Just turn the illumination knob on the dash down all the way? No need for a switch, it's about the same effort.

You are right... I would have turned mine off already if you were not.

In for an answer because I'd like to turn the daytime one off all the time tbh

How about... Just cover the dash lights with a blanket?
