GE8 Depo smoked LED tail light WHERE CAN I GET THEM!?

There was a vendor on eBay who sold them but they are no longer available/he's gone. Is there anyone on here that can tell me where to get these tails or source them for me. I recently went through a thread and saw pics of someone who had installed them. I want them desperately and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link but it says I am out of their 'Service Area' and also won't let me check out. I am unsure of the order total as well because the exchange is listed as 'THB' and the price is 5,900 THB. I don't think I'm going to be able to get them from this site.

But, on the up side, these are EXACTLY what I'm looking for! So how do i get them?

I've been looking for some too for my 2007. At the top of this thread it list www.carid.com. for tail lights for the Fit - seems to me that this was one place I looked over too and not too expensive. Anyone else have any other suggestions? I've found some pretty nice sites just from Googling on the web.

The thing is none of those sites (from googling) have lights for the 09 GE8. I can find the smoked tail lights for the 06-07's everywhere. I know they exist, am I going to have to source them somehow? If so can anyone help with that?

I painted my headlights but am not really interested in prying open the tail lights and spraying on a tint. I hear it can turn out incredibly bad. I've read short DIY from people and there is sanding involved and I'd rather just pay the extra money to get the pre smoked ones. At least then I won't have to deal with the frustration of doing it myself. Anyone know?

I emailed them this morning and am waiting to hear back. Thanks for your help. Also, thanks for actually posting something productive to aid me in my search and not some smart ass "google" comment/link. I guess when you become a moderator it really goes to your head.

lawlz who saids you open up the tail lights You don't open the tail lights to smoke them silly willy. You just spray on top. and no, there is no sanding involved on the tail light. more so on the spray after you clear coat

Googling helped so much didn't it. The issue I have with smoking my lights myself is I don't understand the process for one. Also, you layer it until you get your desired tint. What is you put on too much or to little? You're screwed right. When you clear it you have to sand it and I'm not completely comfortable with sanding/buffing my lights.

I followed the DIY on painting my headlights and that was simple and straight forward. There was not alteration to the light itself other than the fact that you're unscrewing a piece, painting it and then screwing it back in. I just know if I attempt to smoke my tails on my own I won't be fully satisfired with the result and probably won't want to put them back on the car if they're not up to my expectation.

So... we have come full circle. Does anyone know where I can get these things?

There is another way you know. You can also use a tint film, which would probably be easier. All you do is wet the tail light with water, wet the film, place the film and position it, then slowly squeegee out starting from the inside. There's a website with a video that does headlights, same approach...

I'll edit this post when I find it.

EDIT****

Watch the video to the right to see the application process. It's so easy. I've done it a few times on my friends' car.

Have fun!
