I say the jdm red/smoked on you're black fit. it'll look super clean. get genuine honda's... after market led's have too many problems


edit: it's the second pair

Yea, those are the ones I plan on getting also.
Just thought I would throw out another style.

I think the all smoked ones look best on the colored fits. For white, silver, and black, red/smoked seem to look the best IMO.

Personally, I've been eying up the set on the right for a few weeks. Just haven't heard anything about them. That, and I'd only get them if I can get a set of headlights from a black Fit to match.

be careful of aftermarket led's. Some are unreliable

If you mean alternatives yeah there are, but keep this in mind... you get what you pay for.

Kind what I figured. Just tough to spend that on tails when there are so many other mods I wouldn't mind doing.

I was actually looking for a reputable place to buy the authentic ones at the lowest price... or I can just watch the for sale section here....

For the set on the right, and probably the 1st and 3rd also, you are going to need to add diodes to the wiring to prevent your parking lights up front from coming on when you step on the brakes. Here is what they look like as well.

ok, now I'm decided to get smoke/red. anyone compared N1 & Depo?
as far as I know, Depo you have to trim reverse light. so which one is better?

N1 you have to trim the opening for the reverse light also, I think you do with any of the non OEM lights. I think DEPO is generally better made stuff, I'd go with them if I were you.

Get the Depo's.
My N1's didn't fit without some trimming of the outer housing edges and the leds on the right side were brighter than on the left side.
I hear more complaints with the N1's quality.

Get the depo's u'll be very happy with them in the long run.

On a side note, NOBODY has the third set you've posted. Personally if u want something that is unique but not *** at the same time, get those cuz i was ready 2 drop the dough for those OEM look but retrofitted with LED'S but then i got a free set of depo's lol.

Will I get pull over if I get the 1st set, all clear no red reflector? What if I put a red reflective sticker somewhere at the back or leave the light on all time?

$100 says you will get pulled over and ticketed for the 1st one.
