But the USDM (US spec) Fits don't have DRLs, they have TPMS; the CDM (Canada spec) Fits do. So unless you imported a CDM Fit, you wouldn't have them.

Edit: I have yet to find a 7.5 ATM fuse that wasn't in a big bundle of other fuses. Fork over the cash for the extra unneeded fuses to try this.

If you snip one wire and hook it up to an empty fuse slot in the fuse panel that turns on and off with the car then you can leave your fog light switch to ON and whenever you turn the car on or off the fogs turn on or off. In addition you can turn the switch off and have the fog lights turn off.

Those locations being 8 and 18; 18 is used for the TPMS and 8 is unused.



Now as you can see the codes at the bottom of the page indicate that it they are Canadian only, but I think it could be possible that the wiring was already ran and a 7.5 A fuse was never inserted.

I'm planning on trying this later on today or tomorrow as soon as I can find a good 7.5 fuse. If this works, it'll be a cool feature ; if doesn't work, we'll just lose a few seconds of our free time.

Ways to know your Fit Sport is a Canadian model:

1. Canadian Fit Sports do not have paddle shifters on automatic models.
2. Canadian Fits do not have TPMS.
3. Canadian Fits do have DRL (Daytime running lights). Your high beam indicator will light dimly when your lights are off if you have DRL and they are on.
4. Canadian Fits have our speedometer in km/h.
5. Canadian Fits measure fuel economy in l/100km.
6. Canadian Fits have a bigger washer fluid reservoir (it holds over 1 US gallon of fluid).
7. Canadian sport models do not have map lights.
8. The navigation system is not available on Canadian fits.
9. Canadian Fits come standard with heated outside mirrors (your rear defrost button will have a diagram that looks like the shape of the outside mirrors).
10. Canadian Fits with an Automatic transmission do not have a spare tire. We get a tire repair kit that includes an air compressor and a bottle of tire sealant.

I think that's all of the differences. Any other Canadians want to add things I've missed?
