Other bulbs in the headlights?

Does anybody know the model number on the other 2 bulbs in the headlights, the turnsignal and the marker bulb?

there is actually a sticky in this forum that lists most, if not all of the bulbs used in the Fit.

if you can, try to keep with a 2827 bulb as it is the European spec wedge bulb, rated with the most light output; at 4 candlepower at 12v (the voltage E-code rates bulbs at). If you really can't find any, 168NA bulb (2.5 candlepower at 14v) and 194NA bulb (1.5 candlepower at 14v) will also fit in the socket, but provide less light output.

Alternatively if you don't want to stick to the yellow (Natural Amber) colour and want clear bulbs, then go with the 2825 bulb (4 candlepower at 12v), 168 (3 candlepower at 14v) or 194 bulb (2 candlepower at 14v) will also work.

2825 and 2827 might be close to 5 or 6 candlepower when at the running voltage of 14v. Much brighter than the 168 or 194 bulbs.

Hope this helps.
