2013 honda fit sport headlights no longer blink when unlocking/locking car
Headlights no longer blink when I'm unlocking/locking. Back lights work but not headlights. Need immediate help before taking to dealer. Thanks.

On my 2nd gen, I don't think the main headlights blink. For the front, it's just the top amber lights, right? (not near my car right now)
Er, I hate to ask the obvious, but do the front lights work at all? Do they turn on when you start the car and turn on the front lights? Could just need new bulbs.

I would ask the same question: Are the lights' filaments intact and would work if they received voltage?
Those little bulbs are a royal PITA to get out and rough on the fingers to twist. Twists counter-clockwise to remove.
I replaced mine with amber LEDs. They really "pop" when on.

I'm just asking to be clear on what you are saying:
1.) The small amber bulbs at the top of the lighting unit should blink once when when locking and blink twice (delay between them) when unlocking.
2.) These small lights are only on when the parking / main lights are on but you can drive down the road without them operating (during daylight).
3.) These lights don't operate in unison with the amber turn signal bulbs blink (these turn signal bulbs are located at the bottom of the lighting unit).
So, if these little lights don't work, you have to pull them out (disconnect the wire and then twist counter-clockwise to remove) and look to see if the bulb's filament is broken or you can test with a volt-ohm meter.

Thanks guys, took it to the dealer and the idiots said they didn't connect that to the alarm system and they had to rewire all to get it working. I'll just do it myself and keep you guys posted.

Did you have a "new" alarm system installed or was this the repair of a factory system? Please include info like that in furture for us to ponder

So who is wiring what?
1.) Does dealer wire up this option?
2.) Does it come from factory wired?
3.) Did factory make the wiring mistake?
Are you saying it is brand new from the dealer:
1.) Gen II ?
2.) Is this a 2017 ?

That is the source of my questions too - confusing - chicken or the egg sort of thing and we didn't know it was an alarm system involved.
