"contacted with no response" is the first clue to me that I wouldn't buy from them.

yep they tend to fade/scratch/leak easily and overall just age very badly

actually, these headlights are made to fit the jdm/dtm GE chassis which were actually released in '08.

I've also found them here. Honda Fit Headlight | Honda Fit Projector Headlights

I've contacted the company a couple times and they have assured me that the ones they have will fit USDM. They are made by spyder if anyone could chime in on their quality levels. Spyder Auto | Honda Fit 2007-2009 LED Halo Projector Headlights - Black

I've specifically brought up that the model number in question is for a JDM product, but the company has assured me that the ones they have will fit USDM, so there must just be a communication with the model number, or Spyder didn't update it for the new product, which is common in companies that deal with wholesalers only.

They suggested I call their techs to get any further assurance, but I have been at work during their hours. If someone else interested could call, that would be great. I also asked them about a group buy and they said they'd definitely be willing to work with us. They gave me an example of 20% off for 5 people signed up. That was just an estimate though, still, pretty good price if it comes close to that.

Let me know if you're able to call directly and talk to the techs. These things are almost cheap enough where if they last a year even, it'd be worth the risk to find out the quality.
