This guide will show you how to replace a 2009 Honda Fit brake light. Depending on what year the model is, these steps may vary. Driving with a broken brake light can be a safety hazard to you and others on the road. You also risk getting pulled over and ticketed. This guide shows the steps to remove the old burned out bulb and replace it with a brand new one.
- Note: If you have big hands, you might have a difficult time with this replacement due to the small compartment you are working with.
- If one brake light bulb burns out, chances are the other one will burn out soon. It is best to change both bulbs at the same time to avoid extra repair sessions.
Before you begin the repair, turn off your car, and put it in park.
