honda spirior MMC LED taillights

I found that one backup light is kind of dim so I got a 50W LED 7440 bulb. Since I could only find pairs, I figured I'll use the second one for the third break light so it's instant-on like the new tail lights. While there, I figured I'll buy some 50W LED turn signals too (BAU15S/PY21W). I'll let you know if they make a difference.

I guess no one else wanted to do these haha. Well i had a family member go china the past couple weeks so i asked her to pick me up a set of these taillights. They ended up being ~$300 USD (cheap!) and i installed them today.
To get the lines to light up in the inner lights (below the reverse light), i think i need to make one more connection from the license plate light. Will do that another day..

I finally got my LED bulbs today and tried them out. They're not "50W" as advertised but they are brighter than the incandescent ones, so they're probably equivalent to a 30W incandescent.
The reverse bulb worked great as expected. The third break-light, not so much. The bulbs are too long and don't fit. As for the signals, they look great, i like that instant-on/off of LEDs, but again as expected, they hyper-flash, so I'll have to make two new harness adapters that include the resistors.
All in all, I recommend these bulbs and these bulbs.

found this on Aliexpress Online Shop GENUINE SPIRIOR LED TAIL LIGHTS FOR ACCORD EURO CU1 CU2 TSX 2008-2013|Aliexpress Mobile
That's a great price but the guy only has 2 feedback. Think I'd rather pay hpt_ua a few bucks more for the peace of mind & he provides the wiring as well.

Think of all the fun you could have with $600... OR you could get some freaking lights.

Dude
^^yea and then you're driving around, paranoid, hoping that you won't get rear ended (or if you got the headlights - not rear end anyone else) cuz most likely, insurance won't cover those expensive things.

Oh yeah true. No way insurance will cover it. Also they are probably not legal for use in the states...

Hi Guys, a lot of vendors with connectors and terminals just dont respond to emails. The plug dealer just took over New United Race tech and dont seems reliable.
I have some of the items you are looking for, I do not have the HD 090 connectors, but do have the terminal - listed as HM090 non sealed (same terminal for HD, MT, DS, HM).
I do not have the larger 250 connectors in that style yet, but I do have other 250 connectors that will be compatible. email me at joe@cycleterminal.com if you have any questions.

Need adapters
I bought the LED taillights for my '09 CU2 as and tried to put them on. Reserve and turn signals are plug and play; the LED (Brake) need a 3 prong when ours have 4 prong. Does anyone know where I could just get adapters instead of doing some cutting to the wires and replace the connectors. I want to keep the OEM ones just in case some happens to my car.

I'm patiently waiting until someone sells their car and will sell me the lights cheap.

I've installed them a while back but I think that the 2 to 1 connection splits the license plate light into 2; 1 to the license plate light and 1 to the running light...

VTEC just kicked in, yo!
Is the "running light" you're referring to also known as the rear fog light? If so, that means the rear fog is always on as long as the head/parking lights are on?

i have contacted the seller on ebay and he said the 2 to 1 cable is connecting to the license plate on the female side. so i'm confused about if the license plate is plugged in to the 2 to 1 cable, how is it going to light up itself? pretty sure the 2 go to the trunk piece, the 1 goes to the license plate. if someone used this before, can you let me know?
thanks

No problem...With the reverse light you just connect the adapters to the current ones (1 to 1) The fog light will act as a reverse light but it will be coloured red..only the right hand side is clear...so when you reverse 1 will be clear and 1 will be red
