Replace rear defrost bulb 2012 Fit Sport
I am in need of replacing the rear defrost bulb in my 2012 Sport. I have run across this subject in the forums for older models, however has anyone replaced one in a Gen 2 Fit? Just wondering how involved, what needs to come off, etc., before I start.

Here is a superb DIY with clear photos and instructions. You will want to replace these with LEDs to avoid future problems and they look awesome too! The size should be the 3mm T1, you can get them here, choose the color, and either high power bright or regular type:

Shown is a 2005 Jazz, but dash config's are probably not too much different, refer to yours and compare. There are 2 bulbs, 1 for button backlighting, 1 for A/C indicator

Thanks for the link to the LED bulbs. I will look into them. Not concerned with the actual bulb change, it's the pulling of plastic parts and other sundry things that are always the challenge :-)
