i got new LED tail lamp. Installed one ok, but the other one, the bolt was on soooo tight, that we couldnt unscrew it, and moulded all the edges of the nut into a nice circle shape which now wont fit any wrench, HOW DO I GET THAT NUT OFFFF!?? its sooo fustrating, and i realise that the LED quality is kinda poor, anyone know where i can buy a good quality bright LED board to replace the current crappy ones? and the one that i did install, the cables dont seem to be able to reach to fit the top bulb in its socket.. wat should i do? also got headlights, anyone willing to give me a quick run through and tips of installation?

Understand your frustration...
If the edge of the nuts gone circle.. the only thing I can think of is like what kin said.. drill it.. but be careful not to destroy the thread on the side. Replacement bolt can be sourced from Honda..
Wonder why the cable is not long enough to the socket.. it should be the same length.
Check the unit to see if the LED board can be replaced? I doubt it.

maybe im putting the wrong bulbs in the sockets, which goes where?? ahcash?? you have LED tail lamps dont you? i dissconnected the brake bulb and connected it to the LED lights, and that was the longest cable, and trying to put the reverse light at the top, which wont reach. indicators at the bottom?

for me, if i cannot remove a nut because the head of it is stuffed, try using pliers to remove it. as for the sockets/wires, i read somewhere that when doin the conversion from bulb to LED, the wires may be a bit short. i haven't personally seen the length, but there shouldn't be a major problem with it. as for the headlights, u'll need to remove the front bumper, i was told installation is simplier than the tail lights. where abouts in sydney are u man? let me know and see if i can help

The cables are a real stretch to get to fit...especially the blinker up top. Just trim back some of the heat shrink if you can and pull and stretch hard. Eventually it will go in, but only just. As for the LEDs not being bright, are you kidding? Man mine are twice as bright as my old lights and everyone comments on how bright they are. Did you get the OEM Honda LED lights?

yeah the cables are a snug fit!!
the left rear one fits fine, but the right hand side one you will need to cut the heat wrap otherwise there is a clip holding the cables together, undo that clip and the cables will be long enough
