They fit great and look great for the price
the only thing is that you have to extend some of the wiring harnesses
using basic electrician knowledge so it'll fit
there's a DIY on the N1 website.

i have the smoked/red kind on my TW Fit
the results are great

i'll post pictures up later

Exclamation

where do you get the led boards?
the n1 page says it doesn't come with bulbs or sockets?

and is it just me or do the honeycombs on the white fit look messed
wonder if the yellow is on oem or both are on n1 concepts
or is it the angle

this picture is the only reason i'm still considering a set of oem for 400

Save your money and get N1 lights. There is not enough difference to justify four times the price! I am surre OEM are as perfect as they can get and better than any aftermarket, but not 4 times more! Maybe I would have considered them if they were up to twice as much. I say maybe!
This picture does not do it justice, because at different angles and light reflection even OEM look like N1's on this picture.
Here is N1's. NOTE: on pictures of the back of the light I removed the OEM type gasket they came with for better clarity of the opening!
Yes they do not come with sockets for corner and reverse lights, but I used OEM ones by using utility knife to create notches to match OEM sockets! It took me 2 minutes per tailight.
Outside lense could have been molded better on the outside edge toward body of the car. I had to lightly sand mine to fit nice. Again, minor inconvinience for the price and final result! I will do it again if somebody rear ends me!

so did you have to sand the edge meeting the sides or the tailgate?

and it does come with the led board then? but have to use the existing turn signal and reverse bulbs

for 100 bucks its hard to pass up

I had to sand the edge meeting the sides of the rear quarter panels.

In my pics, right underneath the circuit board with resistors and connectors, those 2 white plastic pieces are the back of LED boards. There are two LED boards per tailight. Nothing wrong with that, it is just the way it was designed most likely for the ease of removal if need be through the rear opening. Circuit board features two circuits with different resistor value for geting brighter from tailight to brake light intensity.

Yes, you will have to use regular OEM sockets and bulbs for reverse light and turn signals. If turn signals were LED it would require a flasher with built in resistance to match regular bulb otherwise they would hyperflash.
Price would be higher too! I wonder what the price of OEM LED tails would be in that case? $600???!!! LOL!

And yes, N1 price would be too iresponsible to pass up!
You can get tails for cheaper on ebay, but shipping will turn the deal sour and if anything goes wrong, good luck trying to return them or replace them!
Albert from N1 is a felow Fit owner and always pressent on this forum to answer your questions. That is priceless.
