I am in the middle of trying to install my depo smoked tails on my 08 Fit. After screwing in the 2 bulbs on each side, the Fit has 2 harnesses that need to plug in to the fixture but only 1 harness is on the tail light and neither stock plug mates up to the lamp. Any clues?

TIA

 

what? that makes no sense. This is what u do:

The bulb socket with the amber bulb in it, that goes in the top hole of the taillight. All the tabs line up perfectly, no modification required.
The bulb socket with the clear bulb in it, that goes at the bottom. Only 2 of the tabs will fit in the taillights so the bulb might sit a lil crooked (don't worry about the rain it won't get there cuz of the gasket) or u can cut the tabs in the taillight plastic so it fits properly. I just aligned up 2 of em and it held on super tight.

the bulb socket with the tiny 194 bulb in there, that is not used. Pull the bulb out and let the wire hang around.

the wiring harness with the 3 wires coming out the back (the only one with 3 wires) is the one that goes to the LED board. It does fit in there perfectly fine, no mods necessary.

btw do the mod so they fit perfectly with the body.

LOL - 2 things I should mention

• I have an MBA but still can't plug in 3 plugs that are color coded
• You are a wise man

Thanks a lot for your help, you solved my issues

I just got my 08 fit this week and would love a set of LED tails. Which are the best for fitment. I see the DEPO needs to modify the reverse socket.

Are there any good sets out there that are simple without 100% no moding anything. I had a Scion and got led tails for that and they were 100% plug and play no water fogging at all, but I got some projectors and they where full of water in one day.

So, here the point. I hate hassels so if someone can help me I would apreicate it
thanks

If you want 100% plug and play then you want these:

thanks hows the fit and qualtiy. I have a silver fit which one would look best. do the bulb screw in OK with cutting.

thanks
Tif

 

who makes these?

 

Fit is probably similar to the depot lights as they are aftermarket. You dont have to cut anything to put the bulbs in, they are the same as your lights now.

 

these are about 170.00 and the depo on ebay are about 80.00

why such a price diff.. I don't mind paying for the best too.
