Haven't been on this forum for a while and didn't keep up with all the new upgrades for 2012-2013.
I searched around the web and couldn't find answer so please help me. I have a 2009 fit sport and did the DIY led for cup holder. Well it seems the 2012 have oem ones and I want that on my car.

This is as close to a DIY that you're going to find... afaik, no one did a in-depth DIY.... It's a pretty simple mod.
For those pre-2012 GE8's here's the parts you'll need to make this mod work.
Needed parts
77290-TF0-G01ZA ...COVER ASSY., CENTER (2012 w/ LED cutout)
35505-SA5-003 ......SOCKET ASSY., BULB (14V 1.4W) (BASE:BLACK) (NS) (LED holder)
Optional parts
35505-692-003 (this is the white OEM bulb) I decided to swap that out for a Blue LED bulb to match the Homelink, dash, and JDM LED ashtray since they're all blue.
If you tap in to this location below, the light(s) dim with the dimmer.
Now since we don't have a direct connection for the LED holder what I did was wedge two 18-22 gauge wires ~4-6 inches long (stripped ~1/4" off the ends) to either side (positive/negative) of the terminals inside the little LED holder. After inserting the LED bulb the wires are quite secure; combine that with installing it on to the panel and it's not going anywhere. I probably could've soldered it to the terminals but then you run the risk of melting the plastic holder & the LED bulb not fitting in the holder (it's already a tight fit).
The other end of the 6" wires I attached insulated quick disconnects to about 24" of wire which then got tapped in to the Homelink wires and then to the location above.
I didn't take pics cause I can't find my crappy point & shoot camera. I could take cell phone pics if really needed but it's an easy install.
