Cheap JDM style tail lights, anyone have experience with these?

Amazon.com: Honda Fit Led Tail Lights JDM Red Smoke LED Taillights 2006 2007 06 07: Automotive

I was shocked at how much JDM taillights would cost, but then I ran across these on Amazon. Just $160 compared to $300-$400 for the JDM ones from other retailers! Does anyone have experience with these, how is the quality?

True that, but I'm also skeptical of $400 tail lights.

i have the n1 concepts jdm led brake lights on my car and there are good and bad things about them. the good, cheap, easy to get your hands on, and looks good from far away.
the bad, overall quality is poor(glue sticking out of parts of the seam, rough around edges), fitment for reverse light bulb had to be modified to fit, one taillight lights up brighter than the other, these faults are to be expected from "made in china" parts.

to tell you the truth, im probably going to end up buying the genuine honda parts tail lights but i am anal about my car being perfect. for the average joe that doesnt give a crap about detail, go ahead and buy the knock offs.

you make a good point, but i have learned from past experiences its not worth it to buy fakes, as proved by all the problems you just listed. I feel more satisfied and assured that i bought a well put together product.

As i have said before you have to pay to play haha


Also you dont have to pay $400 for JDM tails...

Option has them for 300 or Passwordjdm for 350 haha

This is a little old but I've got the knock-off style ones if you ever want to see them in person.

Most knock-offs have poor fitment and you can spot it easily.
