Interior Lighting

I was curious if anyone has any information on the interior lighting accessory that shines on the floor. Is the bulb inside easily replaceable? I was hoping for something a little bluer. If it is, does anyone have any information about replacement bulbs?

Installed the OEM interior illumination for the front footwell last Oct. Pricey, but the wiring harness and the install instructions leave no area for "guessing" or "trial and error".

Gives out a nice subdued blue shine once the light switch is turned on (in both positions 1 & 2).

Yeah, I got mine actually installed yesterday. The light just doesn't seem to be that blue that's shining out. It's more of a slightly blueish white. I was hoping for a bluer bulb. I just feel like what I got installed didn't reflect the images I saw online.

Did the dealership make the install and tell you that its the OEM illumination kit??? If so, take my word for it - THE LIGHT IS DISTINCTLY BLUE. They could have installed something aftermarket???

Download the install instruction from the Honda Accessory site and check the parts they used.

If in fact it's original Honda Parts, then insist that the LED's installed should be BLUE (as per all published literature). Its covered by warranty so you should have no issues getting it replaced. Let us know what the end result will be.

Okay. I'll check things out when I get home. Where can I find the install instructions at? Do you have a picture of the actual lighting setup underneath? That way I can see what the bulb setup looks like.

This was the only accessory installed onto my Fit LX. When cross shopping the Fit to the Fiesta SE, the Fiesta had mood lighting standard in the footwells and copholders. It was one of my favorite features on the car.


I had to add it to our Fit and had it installed by the dealer OEM. It is definitely blue, but not as bright as the brochures make it out to be (or as bright as the Fiesta's). Regardless, don't regret getting it
