I need help to install Map Light unit from USA in Canadian Sport 09 Fit.

I was at my dealer yesterday and they cannot order them here in Canada. Before I go to expense of getting one from USA I am wondering about installation.

Are the mounting holes/brackets whatever there underneath the headliner? Is it a simple matter of snaking a wire to the dome light?

Yes I have done a search and not finding anything.

Thanks

bill

P.S. I have seen some USA ones being replaced? with Acura ones so anyone have an original kicking around?

Hey dude, you can, in fact, just wire it up from the dome light. And there will be no bracket or screw holes to mount it, make the hole in the headliner the right size and it should fit snugly without coming out. Mine hasn't moved after a year in my GD3.

Thanks for the link. Somehow I was into their site but no link to the accessories and instructions.

Dief the Chief. I was more a St Laurent guy.
