Hi,

The 2015 Fit has LED brake lights and regular rear turning light bulb and backup bulbs.

Does anyone have instructions on how to access the turning & backup lights?

The manual seems to have previous model's info.
Brake Light, Taillight, Back-Up Light and Rear Turn Signal Light Bulbs :: Replacing Light Bulbs :: Maintenance :: Honda Fit 2007-2015 Owners Manual :: Second generation (2007–2015) - HoFit.org

Thanks.

 

Super easy.

Open your hatch.
Remove the 2 bolts that hold the light assembly to the body.
Pull assembly off body.
Turn the plugs 1/4 of a turn to remove.
Replace bulbs.

Reverse process to reassemble.

 

Thanks very much Andre!

 

Would I be able to plug in any LED lights into the turn signal and reverse lights?

 

I used the following part#:

Rear blinkers: 7440-RHP28-T RED, 2ea

Rear Back-up: 7440-WHP28-T WHITE, 2ea

Front blinkers: 7443-AW60-SA, 2ea

Load resistors: RL-650, 4ea

I purchased them from superbrightled.com. If you ctrl+c / ctrl+v the part#'s in their search box, it will take you right to them.

These are a noticeable improvement over the OE incandescent: Rear blinkers are rated 130 lumens each; 6000K back-up are rated 550 lumens each; front blinkers are rated 192 lumens each.

Front blinkers are 5700K white lights when parking lights are in the on position, then switch to on/off amber when signal/ hazard is used (type A switchbacks), all while consuming a fraction of the power at a claimed 25 times the service life over OE. Hopefully I'll never need to change them for the life of the car.

I used these for both my rear turning and backup bulb replacements.

At 1900 lumens, they look just great. Highly recommended.

The bulb is a 7440 for reverse and turn signals.

Use white for reverse (obviously) and for best results, you should use a red for the turn signals. If you use a white for the turn signals, you will end up with pink-ish/orange-ish blinkers.

 

I used a similar if not identical bulb. I agree that they look great! Nice very bright and very white light.

 

I have a question about the forward switchback bulb. During daytime driving (with DRLs on), are the switchback parking lamps on at all? If they are, what color are they?

And if I'm reading correctly (with Type As at least), when the headlamps are on at night, the switchbacks are white until you turn on the signal, at which point they blink on/off amber. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

The switchback bulbs will only be on if you have your parking lights on unless you rewire your car to run the DRLs through the turn signal/parking lights instead of the main headlights.

You are correct on how they work. They are white when on, and then flash amber once you turn activate the turn signals.
