i have had great luck with depos on all my other cars, but I just put mine on, they came in the mail today. they don't fit the USDM OEM reverse lights. I actually broke the tab on the light bulb socket trying to get it in the lower right light. Anyone have a fix for this. The brake light section unclips from the LED board which is cool because I don't have to solder OEM harness at all, but the reverse lights don't even fit in the housing, and you end up with the extra running light wire not used in the depos. Any words of wisdom. The bumper removal takes 2 seconds and 4 screws, well worth a clean install. But I just installed the DEPOs and yanked em back off back to stock in under an hour. pretty pissed Cant complain really for 110 bux shipped. I have done a ton of hondas and can do this crap in my sleep, but figured the sockets would be the same as stock, DEPO is usually good with that shit

Yeah it's kind of a pain but you have to modify the socket for the reverse lamp. There is a thread around here that details what you need to do, took me about 10 minutes to modify my set.

I modified mine, tried to twist in to the bottom the nub snapped off and it popped in ghettoish. I just did this after a 12 hour day at work, and I like to do it perfect. At least I know i can yank the bumpers in 2 seconds and get to it easily on the weekend. Besides, my springs don't come til tomorrow, so definitely a weekend job.
