Any experience with these LED tails?

I'm checking to see if anyone knows the deal with the LED taillights that HondaFittuner sells. They state that they're made specifically for the USDM Fit's? They're selling for $159 so I'm curious as to if these are actually different from let's say the Depot or N1?


Thanks!

i think the ones from hondafittuner are the depo taillights. they look of for replicas but for those who are picky about their car oem is the only way to go. im still rocking the usdm lights cause i cant justify spending 400 on jdm lights.

I just got jdm lights for 280 shipped... they were used, but not a scratch on em. If used is acceptable for you, you may want to try out the classifieds.

I bought the gunmetal and red taillights from hondafittuner. They were like $150 or something. I like them just fine, but eventually I wil get the JDM style.

Did you still have to extend the wiring to fit the lights?

rather than extending the wires why not buy two of the plugs, solder wire between them and then call it a day. it would be safer than cutting wire in your car.

I extended (pulled lol) a few of the wires. The left reverse I had to cut, but I messed up and can't get in there with crimpers to connect them with butt connectors so when I go into reverse, the left one has no power. Ah well I never really use reverse anyway lol

driving to dealer/store to get the connectors will be 10000x more "dangerous"

I mean before taking the tails off. I thought that was understood and I really hope that you are joking.
