GE smoked tails...

ok so i've been scouring this site (and the rest of the internet) and I came across these tail lights for the 09+ Fit

JY Led Tail Lights - Gunmetal for 07-up Honda Fit at Andy's Auto Sport

has anyone seen these? do you think they will be garbage even though they appear to be LED lit?

thanks for the help!

Yeah I love the look.. JDP has a white fit with tails very simliar to that and it looks sick! They are DOT approved from what I understand so I don't see any issue with the cops pulling me over.. I'm just scared bc I've had aftermarket tails before and they always get condensation in the lens.

DON'T BUY THEM until you've checked out this link (3rd and 4th down the list are for the GE8... 1st and 2nd are for the GD):

2009 Honda Fit LED Tail Lights

As you can see, you'll save over $100.00+.

Don't know if they're the same, but they sure look like it.

Good luck!

My pleasure.

I almost didn't post. I saw you were hot for those tails, and were afraid you would have already ordered the original ones you were looking at... and I didn't want to make you feel bad about ordering the more expensive ones.

Ehh... I took a chance, you hadn't ordered the first ones at that point, and now all is well!

Enjoy, bro!

Just one thing you gotta' make sure and do...

... Pics, pics, pics... must have pics! I think everyone on this forum lives for pics and more pics. I may even order some for myself... they do look nice.

Not Me... I want to know what the boost in hp is with these things in

JK... The style's not really for me. I like the OEM JDM Base tail lights as I think they would look better on the sport than the sport tail lights do.

... but... it's not my thought that matters but the OP's. If they like it, great... and to think about it, it makes my stock FitS more unique

Yeah, I think my all-time favorites, so far, are the JDM non-LED tails.

Shipping is where their profit margin probably is. It's like buying a Cell phone case on Ebay and paying $15 to ship.

I went through Streetbeatcustoms.com two weeks ago and ordered these lights. come to find out that both vendors they use for the lights are out of stock and have no ETA as when they will get some in..... pretty disappointed however i did get my refund...
