Purchased (online) a set of "07-08 Honda Fit altezza jdm black tail lights light new" from a retailer located in ontario, CA. (full information is available). - after receipt, the assemblies were inspected and determined to be missing the required side marker and reflector components. - also, the cutouts in the housing intended to mount the bulb sockets are not designed to securely hold the bulb sockets, particularly the reverse lamp which is barely capable of being installed. After the socket is installed, a jarring blow can cause the socket to fall out of the reflector housing, permitting the bulb to fall behind the reflector. Assemblies were not installed due to these safety hazards. I am currently contacting the seller regarding refund for this equipment. Manufacturer's markings and locations thereof: on reverse lens: "hft-tmc1" (appears twice, on opposing edges) on signal lens along bottom edge: "r" or "l", "hft-tmc2", "junyan" on vehicle (concealed) side: "w21w(21w)" (two locations), "w21/5w(21/5w)", "hft-tb", "lens:pc", "base:pc",and "rh" or "lh". On shipping box: "tlz-fit-0106-bk-(6)".
