The yellow Fit is N1 motorings car. They stole the image. If you want something cheap then go with the no names. I'd personally save up more and wait around for OEM's. Maybe check the group buys and forum vendors for good pricing.

no way in hell someone would sell brand new OEM honda LED tails for $200. Check our vendors and non vendors to see the prices.

I know the prices. I bought a set in June.

As far as I can remember, they sure look similar to mine.

Similar and the same are two COMPLETELY different terms though. =)

I should clarify that I'm not talking about styling but build quality.

Here's the eBay Item number: 8071780589

Either way I like them and if Honda didn't make them then it's Honda's loss. And here's what they look like.

That doesn't surprise me, and thanks I like 'em. Maybe that will mean that they wont be everywhere and mine will be unique.

WARNING: these tail lights do NOT fit the US 2007 Fit. I ordered these tail lights on eBay and they arrived this morning. Went to my local Honda dealer, Honda Escondido and asked them to install the lights. They had two mechanics and a service writter spent almost 45 mins trying to install these lights. First the shape isn't the same and these led lights do NOT fit in the space of the US tail light. Second, the led lights have only two blub openings and the US Fit has three bulbs. There is no running light in the led light. Thrid, the led light needs the wiring harness to be 3-4 inches longer to reach the opening in the led light. The dealer took the inside paneling off and could not find enough slack in the wire harness to reach the led light.

The Dealer really tried to install the led lights but they are NOT meant for my 2007 US Fit.
I returned them today. Hopefully the seller will give me a full refund.

I'm very disappointed, because I really wanted the led tail lights.

the ones from jhpusa fit perfectly like OEM and are very close 2 OEM quality with no leakage or anything. They also have the running lights and brake lights. Yes you do need 2 lengthen 2 wires as stated in the many different threads previous to this. I recommend going through JHPUSA.COM and getting some replica's. u can get em in smoked or regular AND for the same price of the ones u see on ebay.

they are exact replicas of the honda ones, youd have to extend the wires too if you had real ones from honda. they will work, but i have to say the build quality isnt the same as the OEM honda ones, it has some uneven gaps around the tail lights but not that noticeable.
im just using these lights until im man enough to get real OEM honda stuff lol. i think it's worth it though it looks nice, very bright too

yes they fit, the bulbs do not clip in perfect like the oem ones, but they hold. Also you CAN get away without having to lengthen the harness if you simply undo a few of the clips that hold the harness to the frame. mine fit and function perfect!
