I'm confused. I have a 2013 Fit Sport and the parts department at the local dealership told me the front turn signal is a 194. I did a google search and all I can find is 7507 for the 2012. I cannot find anything on the internet for 2013

Sorry to rez an old question, but I had the same one and did some research.
It's a little T5 bulb. I'm going to swap it out with a T5 LED, like .
??: Don't know what's up with the weird Amazon linking.
Personally, I suggest eBay or DealExtreme (if you're okay with waiting) for car LEDs. Much cheaper than Amazon (shipping) and superbrightleds (same product, but SBLEDs is really overpriced).

Note: I have a GE8; some of this might be different on older Fits.
The bulb is; T5 refers to the socket. As long as the socket is right, you can fit different sized bulbs in there, due to LEDs being a lot smaller than bulbs and coming in all different form-factors. For T5's, it's either the chip-type (SMD, flat) LED or the one that looks like an early LED Christmas light. The chip-type is brighter. There are also some really small stalk-type things with multiple LEDs on each one.
The license plate lights, cargo lights, and reverse lights (as well as some others) use T10 connectors. There is a lot more veriety with T10's, since they're bigger. Go to eBay and type in the search: T10 LED (color you want) and you'll get all different shapes and sizes of bulbs that will fit in there. Just make sure it fits in the housing, and it will work.
You can also get LED panels; they come with an adjustable (has a spring to change the length) festoon adaptor and a T10 adaptor. These work great in dome lights, and can be daisy-chained easily. This is okay; I try to keep them under 8 watts/socket, due to standard T10 halogen bulbs being 8 watts.
Nice thing about the Fit: no CANBUS, so regular, cheap LED lights won't throw any codes.
IMO, It's a lot easier going by connector type (T5, T10, 31mm festoon, etc) than bulb size, since with LEDs, bulb-size really doesn't apply anymore. Just have to experement to see what works best for you. I have a compartmental container with all different sizes and colors for whatever applications. With eBay, it's really cheap to build quite a collections of different lights for different looks.

This is what I ordered
74 LED Bulb - 3 SMD LED Wide Angle Wedge Base | LED Lights for Cars | 12v | Super Bright LEDs
This is what came up when I did a search for T5:
Search Results For "t5 led bulb" | Miniature Wedge Base LEDs | LED Car Bulbs | Super Bright LEDs

That's what I don't like about Super Bright LEDs (other than the prices): they go by bulb numbers. T5 is the type of base. The bulb is a type 74 (T5 base+certain size), so that one you ordered will work. Search T5 LED white on eBay and you'll see the different types. Any of them will work, and you'll probably get about 5-10 for $5. (can't get on eBay at work). Just use common sense on which ones will fit into the housing (not socket; the housing is the part around the bulb/LED itself).

Many thanks Neon. I just ordered it yesterday and it shipped the same day. I've always been happy with their product and customer service. They've even replaced them when they burned out.
BTW, how do you replace the bulb? I looked underneath and it looks like the plastic panel may be removable. In other words it looks like it just snaps in but I didn't want to force it.

No problem; nothing better to do than help. Yea, the eBay sellers are usually based out of China and I wouldn't even bother with customer service with them. Cheap enough to just throw away, anyway. I did my Neon with stuff from Superbright; came out really nice.
That panel is pretty easy; just pry the bottom edge of the panel on each side (bottom left/bottom right) outward, one at a time, and it will pop right out. If I remember right, the bulb socket just twists out. A T5 is a push-type connector, so you just shove that in and make sure the polarity is right.

Different bulbs required for Canadian 2013 Fit Sport
Hi guys, I've been a longtime lurker here on FitFreak. Got my Fit Sport in October. Lifetime Honda/Acura owner —*we've had Hondas in our family since '77.
I was in the process of upgrading/replacing my interior bulbs last night and discovered two differences to previous information on replacement bulbs for our cars. Mine is a 2013 Canadian-spec Sport (built in China).
Both the dome light and cargo/trunk light vary from what I've seen and read on here and found elsewhere on the forums.
In the case of the dome light, it turns out that the bulb on mine was not a festoon type bulb, but instead a 168/194 style wedge bulb (8W 12V if I recall). Fortunately, I had ordered some extra LEDs to try when I ordered from SuperBrightLEDs and had a 30 LED rectangle PCB lamp with the wedge adapter I could fit in there. It turned out to be a good replacement for the incandescent one.
With the cargo light, the bulb is the same, but the plastic lens/bulb holder on mine is different. There's additional plastic and metal contacts/wiring on the lens and a white plastic cap that goes over the back of the lens. I pulled the lens out of my 05 Acura TSX to compare and the one in my TSX is the same as the one I've seen in photos from other Fit members. Because of the extra plastic, I wasn't able to fit either a PCB style lamp or the circular shaped 10 SMD lamp to the one that was in my Fit. So, for now, I swapped the TSX lens into my Fit (they're the same size) with the 10 SMD lamp (super bright!) and have put the lens from the Fit into my TSX for now with the incandescent bulb.
This is what the one in from my TSX looks like (photo credit: PaulsTravelPictures.com):

I'll have to take a photo of the lens in my Fit as I can't find one online.
I tested the TSX lens in my TSX's trunk with the LED and really like the result. I'm now going to order a replacement lens for the TSX and order another 10 SMD lamp to put in there.
So, in summary, if you're the owner of a Canadian-spec 2013 Sport, you may want to actually check your interior bulbs and cargo/trunk lens before ordering LEDs as it appears they're different than the US models (or different than previous years).
I also replaced my map lights and license plate bulbs and those match up with the existing replacements. I still have the cupholder bulb to swap out.
Here are the parts from SuperBrightLEDs that I ended up using:
Dome (in warm white):

Trunk (warm white) (swapped out lens for 2005 Acura TSX lens):

Map lights (warm white):
