thanks in advance
Three 8mm nuts on each side. That's it! I was done in twenty minutes.
New light bulb sockets and bulbs are provided, the stock one's on the GE won't fit due too different size cut outs on the tail light housing itself. The stoplight/brake connector is part of the LED light assemblies(their are two per side). You simply disconnect the connector from your stock bulb and plug it into the connector on the tail light. I have since put in RED LED 7440 turn signals, giving the tail lights a nice, uniform look.

thanks for the info! looks good. subtle, but definitely different.
Question: Are just the "running lights" LED? Or is EVERYTHING LED? (reverse, signals, etc)
Also ... (I don't have a Fit yet...) The centre brake light on the Fit is LED stock? Or no...
I was running just LED's on the tail lights. The turn signal and reverse light are regular bulbs. The High Mount I cant really say if it is LED or not. It is the stock part.

i took the third apart for something.. and found out that it's LEDs
i also just changed out my tails for the smoked version of the light above. The tail lights are quite possibly the easiest thing to swap out on this vehicle as long as you don't have to modify the wiring. To remove the tail lights do the following:
1.Pull off trim pieces in either side of the cargo bay (you'll see them they are directly
behind each tail light on the interior of the vehicle). They have a small inset on left
hand side of the piece, a flat blade screw driver with little force cause them to just
pop right off.
2. Behind those you will find the wiring harness for the tail lights as well as three 8mm
hex nuts, which are screwed onto studs in the tail light, holding it securely to the
vehicle. I broke the nuts free and cautiously unscrewed them with my fingers, one
by one, because if you drop them you either have to replace them or remove the
entire interior side panel of trim on that side of the vehicle to get the nut back.
3. Once you have the nuts unscrewed the light will simply loosen and slide out
because the only thing securing it are the wires from the harness. The harness
doesn't really give you a lot of room to work, but there is just enough room to
unplug wires, change bulbs, etc.
4. Unplug all the wires and the entire tail light assembly will be free from the car.
There are 3 or 4 plastic studs molded to the tail light that slide into small drilled and
grommeted holes in the car. Be aware of those when you are putting the
replacement lights in. Simply reattach all the plugs, line up the plastic studs and
make sure they're all sliding in correctly, put the nuts back on the metal studs,
tighten the studs down, snap your trim pieces back on and you're done!
I also had a blinker bulb go out about an hour after installing the new lights. So I had to go through the entire process over again to change the bulb. It only took me about 8 minutes to change the bulb. It's very easy, no one should be worried about swapping out thier tails no matter how unhandy they are. There is no excuse.
Do you know who is the seller of this tail lights in ebay? The link you provided expired and I am wondering if i can email/contact the seller and ask if he still have this tail lights?
