Did you get the smoked/clear OEM tails? or the stock LED OEM tails? If you got the smoke, then just ask loscreepers for pictures since he has the real ones.

I love my N1's. Not saying anything bad about Depos though, they look pretty nice too. But I'm not going to take out the N1's that have nothing wrong with them to replace them with Depos on the assumption that something will go wrong with the N1's sooner then the Depos. N1 has impressed me with their customer service too, no complaints there at all.

In the end, I'd go with what works for you. If you're a Depo fan, get the Depos. I've only had the N1's so it wouldn't be fair for me to judge the quality of the two brands against each other. Until my N1's take a crap or the plastic starts to discolor, I'll keep them. Depo has been around for awhile though, so it isn't like they don't know what's going on either.

just waiting for shipping........... my shipment for the depos should be on the 25th. also waiting for my HID's this is a noob question and all but what are the wires i need to extend and which side should it be on?? i do realize i can search for it and all but its just nice how the replys for this thread get to my email on my phone so then i can save it and not have to look on the comp... yea i know im lazy. I purchased the JDM style w/ smoke. I would have gone for the OEM LEDs but where i am (Maryland) i really dont see any modified Fits. So going for the JDM style makes me stand out around here.

yeah i saw those lights in that link from another thread before, i just don't like the style, design, layout, look, what have you of the stockies cuz they are practically identical to every other tail lamp you see on every other manufacturers models. ie: camry, highlander, prius, and loads of others (maybe not so much new prius but rather old) anywho, you get what i'm sayin.

the ones with the black housing on ebay tho, idk... i'm kinda partial to subtle black highlights here and there. there was a set in that link kelso posted with a black lens and almost like a clear tear drop style kinda lookin thing. i'd almost totally sport those, but i like stickin to jdm.



actually, there's a handful of stuff they got that i'd be intrested in... just need to find out if everything is jdm or usdm spec. keep us updated on any contact with them atticus, please. those dynamite fogs, modulo grill, the bottom eye lip, 3rd brake led, cf engine cover, and folding side mirrors. BOOM!!!

i kinda like how the usdm tail lights follow the lines of the car. also, i think its funny that japanese kids with fits swap out their tails for usdm ones.

You're right Kelso! All the Japanese teens def converts to USDMs as we do with JDMs. I'm staying with my USDM tail lights for now until something happens with them. I'm considering getting some LED light bulbs to replace the OEMs. Any suggestions?

Actually, the older honda fit has our current usdm counterpart. The facelift (of the old body, 06-07) converted to the jdm taillights. But from 2001, they looked like our usdm tailights.

With this tails, do you think it needed to extend the wire for the turn/backup lights? You know many say you need to extend the wires for the JDM lights.

no for those tails u won't have to extend anything. The extensions are for the backup and the turn signal harnesses only, but on those taillights, they are in the exact same spot as the oem tails so no extensions necessary. Basically those r like the oem fit taillights but with led's inside.
