you guys notice any water leaks from this DEPO lamps?

im kinda interested now looking at those picts, but i use those high
powered touchless washers in the winter time and not sure if water
would get inside...

any comments?

 

guess they leak pretty bad, huh?

 

thank you! +1 rep. Just did this mod and they fit great!

 

Is everyone getting these lights off ebay? i looked for them on there today but it seems like they were taken down. Shouldnt of waited so long i guess.

 

I did the modification on one side and it still didn't sit well. So I didn't bother with the other side. I have the N1 tail lights.

 

Looking good guys.... I just intalled my DEPO lights and i cant seem to fit the back up lights Is there a diffrend kind of plug to properly screw the light on the housing? please help....

 

Well done! Looks great. As someone new to this forum I would appreciate your help and patience. Will these lights still present the same short wiring problem with needed extensions. Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Again, the backup plug DOES NOT DIRECTLY FIT our reverse plug. HOWEVER u can get it to stay on because 2 of the 4 tabs do line up so it will hold snugly in place. I have had mine held on with 2 of the tabs for months and never had a problem. It's not going anywhere.

Of course, that's what i'm here for.

All the JDM taillights will have the wiring issue. It's because in japan, these LED taillights came on the 06-07 honda fit and all the JDM honda fits come with extended wiring harnesses, this is the reason why companies replicating the jdm taillights do not add a wiring harness extension because they are originally made to fit JDM honda fit's, not the USDM. As u can see, the USDM tailight has more bulbs plus they are in a different location.

Anyways, it's very simple to extend the wiring harness, there is even a writeup on how 2 do it. I did mine over 2 years ago and have never had a problem. If u do it right the first time, there is nothing 2 worry.

 

it took me forever to find this thread. I bought these lights because they looked clean, depos are always good fitment. the plug sockets and wire extensions kinda screwed me out of a quick swap when they arrived, put everything back to stock since I could only get brake lights to work no blinkers.

There's only like 500 taillight posts on this site, and this should be sticky'd so everyone see the mod and doesn't waste an hour swappin it, when they don't have thier soldering gear readily accessible. I finally have a day to do it, so its gettin done tomorrow along with the H&R springs

 

where are you guys buying these from? ebay doesn't seem to have them anymore.

thanks

 

mine was purchased from autodynamic.com, located in so.cal. I went there and picked up 3 days ago. trimmed the
reverse lights, will install anytime.

 

bump this up. it really helped but hard to find (kinda)

 

subscribed!

 

this was realy helpfull...
thanks alot...

 

wow. that is impressive. seeing this has totally changed my mind about not getting a replica because of the fitment issue. kevin, you're awesome and you have most likely convinced me to go with the DEPOs. +1 for you!

 

just wanna say thanks to the OP. I've got genuine honda LED tail and I had to cut off a small portion from the two bottom tabs when installing. Other alignment tabs didn't cause any problem so left them alone.

 

I can't believe I never saw this post...

 

lol what did you use to cut the bottom tabs off? I used a scissor and it took forever

 

im glad i caught this b4 im about to buy my tail light. thnx bud and thnx the guy for bringin it from the dead as for cutting it, i plan on using my jig saw. or my hand saw, you can do the same

 

I have no saw :/
