New Tail lights for GE8 2009 Fit - Pictures of Before and After

[userb]

Since I haven't seen anybody post topics of tail lights I thought I'd contribute and post one. Usually I'd just lurk in the background and read everybody elses posts.

Enjoy.









Installation:

Installation of the tail lights were pretty simple. Just 3 bolts to unscrew for each tail light and you're done.

Bumps with the installation were the plugs/cable. The plugs for the right tail light were too short and wouldn't reach the plug sockets of the bulbs. I had to pull out the plastic panel on the right and above the bumper and cut out two of the cable holder/ties to give the plug for the right tail light more reach.

I also had to cut some of the electrical tape holding the plugs together to extend their reach further for the left and right side of the tail lights which was not difficult at all.

For those of you looking for pictures of a step by step install....I was too lazy to do that.

Does anyone know if there is a company making aftermarket tail lights for 09 fit yet or are the only options oem ones such as the one above and the JDM one?

Oh. I guess some slack shall be given in that case. But still, any gastrointestinal disturbances due to pic of cars OR taillights, should be investigated.

LOL...
